Our dryer vent cleaning process includes a full visual inspection, pre- and post-inspection and cleaning photos, disconnecting and reconnecting your dryer from the transition flex vent, mechanical brushing of the vent line from the inside out to remove of lint and debris, than locate the dryer vents exhaust point (including roof vents) and clean from the outside in, ensuring nothing is missed.
Most companies skip getting on the roof to complete the dryer vent cleaning when the vent terminates to the roof.. We don’t—because fire safety starts at the exhaust point. When dryer sensors are flashing codes for airflow restriction, the problem is usually located near the end of the dryer vent line where it terminates. Dryer vents can terminate to the side of your home or to the roof. Homes that have dryer vents that terminate to the roof should be cleaned annually and if the vent terminates to the side of the property should be done every other year.
Your dryer vent quietly works in the background every time you do laundry. Over time, lint, dust, and debris build up inside the vent, restricting airflow and forcing your dryer to work harder than it should. Because this buildup happens gradually, many homeowners don’t notice a problem until dryer performance or safety issues begin to show.
You may need dryer vent cleaning if you notice any of the following:
Clothes take longer than one cycle to dry or the dryer shuts off frequently
Lint collecting behind or around the dryer
A burning smell or musty odor when the dryer is running
Your laundry room feels unusually warm or humid
Higher energy bills
Premature dryer failure (such as a burned-out heating element)
If left unaddressed, airflow restrictions can also cause moisture buildup, which may lead to mold growth inside the vent line. Dryer vent cleaning is designed to restore proper airflow the dryer needs to operate as it was designed for, and a clear dryer vent reduce safety risks. Dryer vent cleaning is recommended annually .
Even if you don’t notice any of these signs, dryer vents should be cleaned at least once per year as part of regular home maintenance. Homes with pets, large families, long or complex vent runs, or older dryers often benefit from cleaning more frequently (every 6–9 months). Regular dryer vent cleaning helps improve efficiency, extend the life of your dryer, and reduce the risk of dryer-related fires.
