What we clean

Dryer vent cleaning

Lint inside the vent line is a leading cause of dryer fires. It also makes clothes take longer to dry and raises your energy use.

  • Clothes that need more than one cycle
  • A warm or musty laundry room
  • A vent not cleaned in the last year
See dryer vent cleaning

Air duct cleaning

Dust, pet dander and pollen move through your ducts every time the system runs. Humid coastal air can add moisture on top of that.

  • A home you just moved into
  • Work done after a renovation
  • Dust that keeps settling around vents
See air duct cleaning

Lint builds up where you can't see it

Every load sends lint into the vent line behind your dryer. The lint trap catches some of it. The rest settles inside the line, packs tight at the bends, and slowly cuts off airflow.

A restricted vent makes your dryer run hotter and longer. That wastes energy, wears out the machine, and gives lint a place to catch fire.

Nests and debris at the outside vent

The vent hood on the outside of your home is an easy place for birds and other animals to nest. A nest blocks the exhaust path, so everything your dryer pushes out has nowhere to go.

We check and clear the outside vent on every dryer vent cleaning.

Common questions

How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?

At least once a year. Large households, heavy laundry loads, pets and long vent runs may need it more often.

How much does a cleaning cost?

The price depends on the length and layout of the vent run and where it exits your home. Call for a free quote and you will know the price before we start.

How long does a cleaning take?

Most dryer vents take about an hour. Air duct cleaning usually takes a few hours, depending on the size of the home.
