Your Dryer Works Like New Again

You know something’s wrong when your dryer takes three cycles to dry a single load. That’s not normal, and it’s costing you time and money every week.

When we clean out your dryer vent, you’ll notice the difference immediately. Clothes dry faster, your energy bills drop, and that overheating problem disappears. Most importantly, you eliminate the lint buildup that causes thousands of house fires every year.

Your dryer was designed to work efficiently. When the vent is clear, hot air flows freely, moisture escapes properly, and everything works the way it should. You get your time back, your bills go down, and you sleep better knowing your family is safe.

Home Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we disconnect your dryer and inspect the entire vent system from inside your home to the exterior outlet. This shows us exactly where lint has accumulated and if there are any structural issues.

Next, we use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums to remove all lint, debris, and blockages from the ductwork. We clean the entire path, not just the easy-to-reach sections.

Finally, we reconnect everything, test your dryer’s airflow, and show you the difference. You’ll see exactly what we removed and understand why your dryer wasn’t working properly. Most customers are shocked by how much lint comes out of vents that look clean from the outside.

Complete Vent System Cleaning and Inspection

Our dryer vent cleaning service covers your entire system, not just the visible parts. We clean from your dryer’s lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent outlet.

Peninsula homes often have longer vent runs due to architectural layouts, which means more places for lint to accumulate. We’ve cleaned vents in Redwood City ranch homes with 20-foot runs and multi-story San Mateo houses where the vent travels through multiple floors.

Every job includes a complete inspection to identify potential fire hazards, damaged ductwork, or improper installations. We’ll let you know if your vent meets current safety standards and recommend any improvements that could prevent future problems.

Most Peninsula homeowners should have their dryer vent cleaned every 12-18 months, but it depends on usage and household size. If you do multiple loads per week or have a large family, annual cleaning makes sense. You’ll know it’s time when clothes take longer to dry, the dryer feels hotter than usual, or you notice lint around the outside vent. Don’t wait until your dryer stops working completely – that’s when lint buildup has become a serious fire hazard.
You can clean the lint trap and the first few feet of ductwork yourself, but professional dryer vent cleaning reaches areas your household tools can’t access. Peninsula homes often have complex vent systems that run through walls, attics, or crawl spaces. We use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums to remove lint from the entire system, including bends and long runs where most blockages occur. DIY cleaning might help temporarily, but it won’t address the deep buildup that causes efficiency problems and fire risks.
Professional dryer vent cleaning in Peninsula typically costs between $150-$300, depending on your vent system’s length and complexity. This investment pays for itself quickly through lower energy bills and extended dryer life. Consider that a clogged vent can increase your energy costs by 30% or more, and replacing a dryer that’s been damaged by overheating costs much more than regular maintenance. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
The most obvious sign is clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely, especially heavy items like towels or jeans. You might also notice your dryer getting extremely hot, shutting off mid-cycle, or leaving clothes damp and hot at the end of a normal cycle. Check outside your home – if there’s lint around the exterior vent or the flap doesn’t open properly when the dryer runs, you have a blockage. Musty odors on clothes or excessive lint in the lint trap after cleaning it are also red flags that your vent system needs professional attention.
Yes, cleaning your dryer vent can reduce energy costs by 30-50% per load. When lint blocks airflow, your dryer works harder and runs longer to dry clothes. This means more electricity or gas usage for every load. After professional cleaning, most Peninsula homeowners notice their dryer cycles complete faster and clothes come out properly dried on the first try. Over a year, the energy savings often cover the cost of the cleaning service, especially with California’s high utility rates.
Most dryer vent cleaning jobs take 1-2 hours, depending on your system’s complexity and how much buildup we find. Peninsula homes with longer vent runs or multiple bends might take slightly longer. You can use your dryer immediately after we finish – in fact, we recommend running a test load to show you the improved performance. We schedule appointments to minimize disruption to your routine, and most customers are amazed by how much better their dryer works right away.
