Dryer Vent Cleaning

One of the first signs that your dryer vent is clogged is when your clothes are no longer completely drying during a regular cycle.


The drying time takes 35 - to 45 minutes per load. If your dryer vent is clogged, your clothes will take longer and longer to dry since the blocked dryer vent traps the air and keeps your clothes hot and moist. If you remove your clothes from the dryer after a cycle and they still feel damp, this means it's time to get your dryer vent cleared out.

Dryer Efficiency & Energy Savings

When a dryer cannot ventilate properly, it will negatively affect your home’s energy efficiency, the integrity of your clothing, and the operation of the dryer itself. A clogged dryer vent can affect the levels of heat the dryer uses to dry clothes. If clothing is subjected to extreme heat, your clothes, especially your delicates, can be ruined by the higher temperature. Additionally, if the mechanisms of your dryer are subjected to high heat over a prolonged period, those mechanisms could fail long before your dryer has reached the end of its service life. By ensuring that your dryer vents remain clear, you safeguard your clothing from damaging high heat and keep your dryer working as it should.

What Causes a Clogged Dryer Vent?

Dryer vents clog when enough lint accumulates in your ventilation system to cause a blockage. Dryer vents can clog in a variety of ways. For one, a lengthy distance on a dryer ventilation system increases the likelihood of bends and curves in the system, where lint is most likely to collect. Second, dryer ventilation tubes are made from pliable plastic or foil, which can be easily crushed or dented, given enough pressure. Finally, poorly connected ventilation or dryer vent screen can cause lint to trap. Some ventilation screens prevent animals from accessing the ventilation, but these screens can also create a barrier for lint.

How To Know Your Dryer Vent Needs to be Clean.

  • The dryer takes longer and longer to dry clothes.
  • The Top of the dryer gets hot while running.
  • The dryer vent drips moisture or even water.
  • Little or no lint on dryer lint screen.
  • Clothes are still damp after the dryer cycle is complete.
  • The dryer has a burning smell.

The process we use to clean the dryer vent:

  • We pull the dryer away from the wall and disconnect the vent.
  • We then feed a rotary brush system through the vent with a HEPA-filtered vacuum. The brush scrapes and cellars the lint attached to the vent's walls while the vacuum pulls out the remaining lint and debris.
  • Next, we clean and remove all blockages from the external exit vent.
  • Then we inspect all vents and repair any kinks or breakages.
  • While the dryer is away from the wall, we also clean it.
  • Finally, the dryer and airflow are tested.

Dryer Vent Cleaning – Every homeowner should see the dryer vent cleaned at least once to twice a year. Getting it done every six months is the best option, but if for some reason you can’t, cleaning it once a year is strongly advised.
