Dryer-Vent Cleaning
A dryer moves a lot of air, and every bit of it passes through the vent. Lint packs into that run a little at a time until the dryer runs longer, runs hotter, and moves less air. This job clears the entire path, not just the stretch you can reach behind the machine.
What the work involves
The dryer is disconnected where accessible, the vent run is brushed and air-cleared from both ends where possible, and the termination hood outside is cleaned so its flap actually opens. The connection behind the dryer is re-seated when everything goes back.
Signs the vent is due
Cycles that take longer than they used to, clothes that come out hot and damp, a burning smell during a run, and an outside hood that barely moves while the dryer runs. Any of these means the run is restricted.
What affects scope
Vent length and the number of bends, whether the duct is rigid or flexible, and where the vent terminates. Vents that exit through the roof involve roof access and are reviewed before scheduling.
Common questions
How do I know the dryer vent is due for cleaning?
Cycles that take longer than they used to, clothes that come out hot and damp, a burning smell during a run, and an outside hood that barely moves while the dryer runs — any of these means the run is restricted.
What does the cleaning involve?
The dryer is disconnected where accessible, the vent run is brushed and air-cleared from both ends where possible, and the termination hood outside is cleaned so its flap actually opens. The connection behind the dryer is re-seated when everything goes back.
What if the vent exits through the roof?
Vents that exit through the roof involve roof access and are reviewed before scheduling. Vent length, the number of bends, whether the duct is rigid or flexible, and where the vent terminates also shape the job.
Start a request
Describe the work — where it sits on the property, roughly what it involves, and anything that makes access or scope unusual. Every request is reviewed before scheduling, so the scope, the timing, and who does the work are settled before anyone shows up.
