Dryer Vent Cleaning & Repair — Book a Visit Today

Lint doesn't stay in the trap. It rides the airflow, sticks to the duct wall, and slowly chokes the path out of your house. Once that duct is packed, the dryer can't dump heat or moisture. Clothes come out damp. Cycles run twice. The cabinet gets hot to the touch. Crushed transition hose behind the machine, a bird nest in the roof cap, a flap that no longer opens — all of it does the same damage. A visit starts with pulling the dryer out and checking real airflow at the exterior hood. We brush and vacuum the full run, replace collapsed or foil hose, and repair or swap a bad termination cap. Call us and describe what your laundry feels like coming out.

Dryer Vent Cleaning & Repair — residential dryer vent cleaning & being serviced

The dryer vent cleaning & symptoms we hear most

Clothes are still damp after a full cycle Almost always restricted venting — moist air has nowhere to go, so it condenses back into the load.
There's a hot, scorched smell in the laundry room Lint packed against a heating element or trapped in a blocked duct is baking, which is a fire risk worth stopping now.
The dryer shuts off partway through and won't restart until it cools A thermal limit switch is tripping on high heat caused by poor airflow, not by a bad control board.
The outside vent flap never opens when the dryer runs Either the duct is fully blocked upstream or the hood itself is painted shut, crushed, or nested in by birds.
The room gets muggy and lint dusts the floor behind the machine A disconnected or torn transition hose is venting straight into the space instead of outdoors.

Dryer Vent Cleaning & Repair — quick answers

How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?

Once a year suits most households. Clean more often if you have a long duct run, several elbows, a large family doing daily loads, or pets that shed heavily. Longer cycle times are the honest signal, whatever the calendar says.

Can I just use a brush kit from the hardware store?

For a short, straight run, sometimes. Long ducts, multiple elbows, and roof terminations are where kits break off inside the wall or push lint into a tighter pack. If you can't reach the exterior hood, get help.

Is flexible foil hose behind the dryer a problem?

Thin foil and old vinyl crush easily and catch lint in every ridge. Rigid or semi-rigid metal transition is the safer choice. We swap it out during a cleaning visit when we find it kinked behind the machine.

Will cleaning the vent fix my long dry times?

Often, yes — restricted airflow is the most common cause. But a weak blower wheel, failing heating element, or stuck thermostat produces similar symptoms. Our technicians measure airflow and check heat so you're not guessing.

What if the vent runs up through the roof?

Roof terminations collect the most debris and attract nesting birds. They need the full run brushed and the cap inspected. Tell us it's a roof vent when you call us so we come prepared.

Do you repair the vent itself, not just clean it?

Yes. Crushed sections, disconnected joints inside walls, missing or broken exterior hoods, and improper screened caps all get addressed. Cleaning a damaged duct only buys a few weeks before it clogs again.

How it works

Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call us or fill out the form. Describe what the appliance does and does not do. Noises, error codes, smells, puddles. Brand and model help. That detail lets us plan the visit right.
Step 2
We diagnose in person
A technician comes to your kitchen or laundry room and tests the machine instead of guessing. Controls, heating parts, motors, seals, drains. You hear what failed and what the repair involves before work starts.
Step 3
You approve the repair
Nothing gets replaced until you say go. Common parts are handled on site when we have them. If a part must be ordered, we tell you that up front and schedule the return.
