Don't Let a Clogged Vent Put Your Family at Risk

Clogged dryer vents are one of the leading causes of house fires. Lint buildup restricts airflow, causes overheating, and creates a hidden fire hazard.

Warning Signs:

  • ✔ Clothes take more than one cycle to dry
  • ✔ Dryer feels excessively hot
  • ✔ Burning smell when running
  • ✔ Lint collecting around dryer
  • ✔ Vent hood flap stuck
  • ✔ Over 1 year since last cleaning

Why Professional Cleaning Matters

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, clothes dryer fires account for roughly 2,900 home fires each year, causing an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property damage. The leading cause in the vast majority of these fires is failure to clean the dryer vent system.

Lint is extremely flammable. While your lint trap catches most of it, approximately 25% bypasses the trap and accumulates inside the vent duct. Over months and years, this buildup restricts airflow, forces your dryer to work harder, generates excess heat, and eventually creates the conditions for a fire — often hidden inside your walls where you can't see it.

Professional cleaning removes 100% of the lint and debris throughout the entire vent system — from the dryer connection all the way to the exterior exhaust. This is something a homeowner simply cannot do with household tools. Our rotary brush systems and industrial vacuums reach every inch of the duct, including bends and vertical runs where lint accumulates most.

Complete Dryer Vent Solutions

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Complete cleaning of the entire dryer vent system from the dryer connection to the exterior exhaust. We use professional rotary brush systems and high-powered vacuums to remove all lint, debris, and blockages. Recommended annually for all households.

Vent Inspection

Thorough inspection of your dryer vent routing, connections, material type, and exterior termination. We check for crushed sections, improper materials (flexible foil vs. rigid metal), code violations, disconnected joints, and anything restricting airflow or creating hazards.

Vent Repair

We repair damaged vent sections, fix disconnected joints, seal air leaks, and replace worn components. If your vent has been damaged by pests, age, or improper installation, we restore it to safe, code-compliant condition.

Vent Rerouting & Installation

We replace flexible foil or plastic ducts with rigid metal (code-compliant), reroute vents for shorter, straighter runs, and install new exterior vent hoods. Shorter, straighter runs mean faster drying times and lower fire risk.
