What Proper Cleaning Actually Does

Your dryer starts working the way it should. Clothes dry faster, often in half the time they’re taking now. Your energy bill drops because the dryer isn’t working overtime to push air through clogged vents.

Most importantly, you eliminate the fire hazard. Lint buildup causes thousands of house fires every year, and most homeowners have no idea how much lint is actually trapped in their vents. Professional dryer vent cleaning removes all of it—not just what you can reach from the outside.

You’ll also extend your dryer’s life. When vents are clogged, your dryer overheats and wears out components faster. Clean vents mean less strain, fewer repairs, and years of additional service from your appliance.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start by disconnecting your dryer and inspecting the entire vent system from inside your home to the exterior exit point. This shows us exactly what we’re dealing with and identifies any damage or issues.

Next, we use specialized equipment to remove all lint, debris, and buildup from the entire vent line. This isn’t a leaf blower or shop vacuum—we use professional rotary brush systems and high-powered vacuums designed specifically for dryer vents.

We clean the exterior vent hood, check that the damper opens and closes properly, and reconnect everything. Before we leave, we test your dryer to make sure airflow is restored and everything is working correctly. The whole process typically takes about an hour, and you can use your dryer immediately afterward.

Most homes need professional dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and the length of your vent run. Large families who do multiple loads daily might need annual cleaning, while smaller households can often go two years. If your clothes are taking longer to dry, your dryer is running hot, or you notice lint around the exterior vent, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done.
You can clean some of it yourself, but most homeowners can’t reach the entire vent line or remove all the buildup. DIY cleaning typically only addresses the first few feet of vent, while lint accumulates throughout the entire system. Professional equipment can reach the full length of your vent and remove compacted lint that household tools can’t handle. We also inspect for damage and code issues that most homeowners wouldn’t recognize.
The biggest warning sign is clothes taking longer to dry than they used to. Other signs include the dryer running very hot, lint appearing around the exterior vent, a burning smell when the dryer runs, or the dryer shutting off before cycles complete. If you can’t remember the last time your vents were professionally cleaned, or if it’s been more than two years, it’s probably time regardless of whether you notice symptoms.
Yes, often significantly. When vents are clogged, your dryer has to work much harder and run much longer to dry clothes. Many customers see their drying times cut in half after professional cleaning, which directly translates to lower energy usage. The exact savings depend on how clogged your vents were and how often you use your dryer, but most families notice the difference in their next utility bill.
Absolutely. The National Fire Protection Association reports that failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires, accounting for about 34% of all dryer fire incidents. Lint is extremely flammable, and when it builds up in your vent system, it creates a serious fire hazard. Professional cleaning removes this buildup completely, eliminating the risk. It’s one of the most important maintenance tasks homeowners often overlook.
Most residential dryer vent cleaning takes about an hour, depending on the length of your vent run and how much buildup we find. We work efficiently but thoroughly—we’re not rushing through your home, but we’re also not disrupting your entire day. You can use your dryer immediately after we finish, and most customers are surprised by how quick and non-invasive the process is.
