The Whole Vent, Not Just the Trap.

Your lint screen catches most of the lint, but the rest ends up in the vent line, where it builds up load after load. We clean the parts you can’t reach.

  1. 1
    Transition duct

    The flexible connector behind the dryer, where lint packs in first.

  2. 2
    The full vent line

    Every foot of the run inside the wall, ceiling or attic, cleaned with a rotary brush and vacuum.

  3. 3
    Exterior exhaust

    The outside hood and flap, cleared so they open freely and let air out.

  4. 4
    Reconnected

    The dryer is reconnected to the clean vent and moved back into place.

Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Cleaning.

Any one of these is worth a call. More than one, and the vent is likely badly restricted.

Loads take longer to dry

If towels need a second cycle, air isn’t moving through the vent. Lint is the usual cause.

The dryer or laundry room runs hot

A blocked vent traps heat. The top of the dryer, the clothes or the room itself feel hotter than they should.

A burning smell

Lint that collects near the heating element can scorch. Stop using the dryer and have the vent cleaned.

The outside flap barely opens

With the dryer running, the exterior flap should push open. If it stays shut or flutters weakly, the line is restricted.

Lint around the door or behind the dryer

Lint that escapes into the room or builds up behind the machine is a sign it has nowhere else to go.

It’s been more than a year

Even if the dryer seems fine, a year of loads leaves lint in the line. Annual cleaning is the usual rule of thumb.

Dryer Vents in the Valley.

Laundry rooms in the desert heat

In a Phoenix summer, a garage or laundry room is already hot before the dryer starts. A clogged vent pushes the temperature higher and makes the dryer work harder.

Long vent runs

Many Valley homes put the laundry on an inside wall or upstairs, far from an outside wall. Long runs with bends collect lint faster than a short, straight vent.

Pairs with duct cleaning

Dryer vent cleaning is part of our air duct service, so it’s easy to do both on one visit and get the whole home’s airflow cleaned at once.

Dryer Vent Questions.

How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?

At least once a year for most homes. Large families, homes with pets and homes with long vent runs often need it more often. Clean the lint screen after every load in between.

Can’t I just clean the lint trap?

The lint screen catches most lint, but not all of it. What gets past it builds up inside the vent line, where you can’t reach it without the right brushes and vacuum.

Is a clogged dryer vent really a fire risk?

Yes. The U.S. Fire Administration reports about 2,900 home clothes dryer fires each year, and failure to clean is the leading cause.

Can you clean my dryer vent and air ducts on the same visit?

Yes. Dryer vent cleaning is part of our air duct and HVAC service. Mention both when you request a quote and we’ll schedule them together.
