Why it matters

Two reasons this job is worth doing

Everything else is a footnote. A blocked vent is dangerous, and it's expensive.

The fire risk is real

Dryer lint is one of the best fire starters there is — campers carry it on purpose. Pack it into a duct with a heat source at one end and nowhere for that heat to go, and the outcome writes itself. Failure to clean is the leading cause of home dryer fires.

U.S. fire departments respond to an estimated 13,000+ home fires involving clothes dryers every year, and NFPA traces roughly one in three of them directly to lint and vents that were never cleaned.

Most of these fires start in a vent nobody had looked at in years, in a house where everything else was maintained.

Your dryer is working twice as hard

When exhaust can't get out, moisture stays in the drum. Clothes come out damp, you run a second cycle, and you pay for both. Research cited by Energy Star shows reduced airflow from a clogged vent can cut a dryer's efficiency by more than 30%.

It also cooks the appliance. Heating elements, thermal fuses, and control boards fail early on a dryer that overheats every load — and a new dryer costs many times what a cleaning does.

Warning signs

You're overdue if any of this sounds familiar

  • Clothes need two cycles to dry
  • The laundry room gets hot or humid during a load
  • The dryer or the clothes smell scorched
  • The outside vent flap barely moves when the dryer runs
  • The dryer itself is hot to the touch
  • You see lint collecting around the exterior hood
  • It's been more than a year, or you've never had it done

Any one of those means the vent is restricted. Several together means it's bad.

How a visit goes

  1. Look at the run

    We trace the duct from the dryer to the exterior hood so we know what we're dealing with before quoting.

  2. Price before we start

    You get the number up front. If the vent needs repair, that's a separate quote you approve or decline — no surprise line items.

  3. Clean the full run

    Rotary brush end to end with vacuum containment, then the exterior hood and the connection behind the dryer.

  4. Show you the proof

    Before-and-after photos and a note on anything worth watching, sent to your phone before we leave.

Pricing

One flat rate, quoted before we start

No hourly guessing games. Standard dryer vent cleaning is priced by where the laundry room sits in the house. If we find something that needs repair once we're in the duct, that's a separate quote you approve first — never a surprise on the invoice.

$120

First-floor laundry

Standard single-story run from the dryer to the exterior wall.

$200

Second-story laundry

Longer runs, more elbows, and often a roof termination — all of which take more time to do right.

Most insurers recommend a professional dryer vent cleaning once a year to keep the vent from becoming a liability — and a fire linked to a neglected, uncleaned vent can complicate a claim. Annual service keeps you covered and keeps the dryer running the way it should.

What we do

Dryer vents are all we do

No upsell to air ducts, no bundle you didn't ask for. One trade, done properly. Full detail on the services page.

Dryer vent cleaning

Rotary brush the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior hood, with vacuum containment so lint doesn't end up in your laundry room.

Most homes: under 1 hour

Vent repair & rerouting

Crushed duct, disconnected joints in the crawlspace, sagging runs, or a path so long the dryer can't push through it. We fix the cause, not just the symptom.

Quoted after inspection

Transition hose replacement

Foil and plastic accordion hose is a fire hazard and a lint trap. We swap it for rigid or semi-rigid metal that meets current code.

Common add-on

Bird & pest guards

Starlings nest in warm exhaust hoods every spring around here. A nest blocks a vent completely. We clear it and fit a guard that keeps them out.

Seasonal

Exterior hood replacement

Broken flaps, painted-shut dampers, and screened covers that are basically lint nets. A proper hood opens under pressure and closes when the dryer stops.

Quoted on site

New vent installation

Adding a laundry room or moving one? We'll run rigid metal duct on the shortest sensible path, terminated properly through the wall or roof.

"Pulled a grocery bag of lint out of a vent I thought was fine. Clothes dry in one cycle now instead of three."
