Lint doesn't leave on its own. It packs into the duct run, and the dryer starts working against itself — long cycles, a hot laundry room, a cabinet that's warm to the touch. Older Metairie houses often have long vent runs with several elbows, and every turn collects more. A blocked vent is a fire concern and an energy drain at the same time. We clean and repair vent lines, reconnect crushed ducting, and replace flapping exterior hoods. If your cycles have stretched out over the past few months, call us.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Call us and we'll give you the next open window on our Metairie route. Since we run this area regularly, same-week visits are usually workable. Morning calls usually land an earlier slot.
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.
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.
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.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home — us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
Describe the fault, approve the written quote, get it fixed. Starting takes about a minute.
