Why Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning?
Our service technicians have the specialized tools and equipment to safely remove flammable lint from the full length of your dryer vent—from where it connects to your dryer to where it vents outside your home.
We also detect and remove moisture, pests, and other harmful materials that can get trapped in the vent.
After inspection and cleaning, we will provide insight into your dryer system’s overall efficiency and how often your dryer vent should be cleaned out to keep your home safe.
Improper cleaning can result in damage to your vent, and subsequently, put your household in danger. Dryer vent cleaning should always be conducted by a trained professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I clean my dryer vent?
Because home fires can be caused by a dirty dryer vent, experts recommend cleaning your dryer vent twice a year. You may need more frequent cleaning if you use your dryer more than average, have an older dryer, or have a longer or angled vent.
How long does dryer vent cleaning take?
Usually, professional home dryer vent cleaning will take about an hour. If there’s a larger than expected buildup of debris or if the vent tunnel is angled, the cleaning process may take longer.
Does duct cleaning include the dryer vent?
No, duct cleaning service involves your HVAC vents, not your dryer vent. As completely different systems and cleaning processes, duct and dryer vent cleaning are different services.
