Dryer Vent Cleaning

Every load of laundry sends lint into your dryer vent. The lint trap catches some of it, but the rest builds up inside the vent line. When the line clogs, your dryer takes longer to dry clothes and works harder. Lint is also highly flammable. Our dryer vent cleaning clears the line so hot, moist air can leave your home the way it should.

What’s included

• Disconnecting and cleaning the transition hose behind the dryer
• Brushing and vacuuming the full vent line
• Clearing the exterior vent hood and flap
• Checking airflow at the exterior after cleaning
• Reconnecting the dryer and checking for kinks or a crushed hose

Signs you may need dryer vent cleaning

• Clothes take more than one cycle to dry
• The dryer or laundry room gets very hot
• You smell a burning odor when the dryer runs
• The exterior vent flap barely opens when the dryer is on
• Lint collects around the dryer door or the exterior hood

Why it matters in Arizona

Many Arizona homes have long dryer vent runs that go up through the roof, which can trap more lint. Hot summer temperatures add even more heat to the system. A clean vent line helps your dryer run cooler and more efficiently.
