A blocked dryer vent is more than an inconvenience — it's a fire hazard. Recognize these warning signs and call us before it becomes an emergency.
Restricted airflow means heat can't escape and moisture stays in the drum.
Excessive heat buildup is a direct precursor to a dryer fire.
Lint igniting in a hot vent — stop the dryer immediately and call us.
Lint that can't exit the vent backs up into the laundry area.
The exterior flap should open when the dryer runs — if it doesn't, airflow is blocked.
Annual cleaning is recommended — even without visible symptoms.
Complete removal of lint, debris, and blockages from the entire vent run — from dryer connection to exterior exhaust.
Post-cleaning airflow measurement confirms unrestricted exhaust. We won't leave until airflow meets safety standards.
Visual inspection of the vent run, connections, and exterior cap. We identify damaged sections or improper materials.
Dryer vent caps are prime nesting spots. We remove active or old nests and recommend proper cap installation.
If your vent runs too long or has too many bends, we can reroute for optimal airflow and code compliance.
We verify the dryer cycles correctly after cleaning and confirm energy-efficient operation is restored.
We inspect the full vent run from dryer to exterior, checking for blockages, damage, and improper routing.
Using professional rotary brush systems, we dislodge and remove all lint, debris, and obstructions.
Airflow is measured and confirmed clear. The exterior vent flap opens freely and dryer exhausts properly.
We provide a written report of findings and recommendations. You get photos before and after the clean.
