The Warning Signs

Clogged dryer vents can prevent lint from properly passing through the vent system. This issue can cause a buildup of lint behind your dryer.

If your clothes are not drying in one cycle this is a strong sign that there may be an obstruction in your dryer vent preventing the proper airflow needed to work efficiently.

When a vent line is clogged your dryer has to work harder and does not allow heat to be vented properly, causing it to overheat. Dryers that overheat typically shut off to prevent a fire. This warning should not be taken lightly; we recommend having a professional look at your system before your next load of laundry.

Lint screens should be cleaned after each drying cycle. If your screen does not accumulate lint, this is a sign that the air that carries the lint is not making it through the screen and out of the dryer because of a clogged dryer vent.

Obstructed dryer vents do not allow your dryer to properly expel lint, causing lint to accumulate on clothing during a drying cycle.

If the top of your dryer is hot to the touch, or if clothing is excessively hot after a drying cycle, it can be a warning sign that there is inadequate airflow caused by a clogged dryer vent.

Clogged vents can create a breeding ground for molds that cause unpleasant odors and health issues.

While having pets may not seem like a warning sign, pets increase the risk of lint accumulation and clogs due to pet hair combining with lint to create larger obstructions.

FAQ

Dryer’s drying time is largely related to the flow of air through the machine and the condition of the venting duct. If air is impeded in its pathway out of the dryer, or if there is a blockage in the venting duct, it could reduce the rate at which clothes are drying in your dryer. A dryer vent cleaning is required.

Usually these conditions occur when the dryer vent is clogged or has a blockage. The air is not escaping from your entire vent. The air is coming back into your dryer due to a blockage. There is a possibility that your flex hose behind the dryer might be disconnected, ripped, or torn. It would be a good time to replace the flexible duct.
Since your vent has a blockage, the air that is being pushed out of your dryer cannot escape at the exit. Your temperature sensor in your dryer is sensing a problem and kicking the gas or electric heat off. It is constantly thinking there is a problem. The temperature sensor is doing its job, and that is to prevent a major fire. When people run their dryer for months and months with long dry times, the sensors will eventually fail.
Not just yet! Appliance technicians will charge you money for a service call. When they arrive the first thing they will ask you is “Have you had you vents cleaned” ? (A SERVICE THEY DO NOT DO) They usually will not fix anything on your dryer until you have had your vents cleaned and a proper receipt of a good reputable company. So, usually nothing at that time will get fixed because they don’t want to repair anything if it is resulting in a duct issue. You will still pay out of pocket for the service call. It’s better to call a dryer vent cleaner first, then an appliance technician second.
It all depends on the design of your vent, the length, and how many angles you have. It is really up to you. Remember, long dry times = problems. When dry times go up, equipment can fail. Dryer Vent Services will inspect your duct upon service and give you an idea of when the next service should be. We will send you a reminder card in the mail yearly, but it’s entirely up to you. We send it for you to remember about the service, who we are, or if you know of anyone with the same issue.
It is almost 99% of the time your dryer vent. Don’t rush out and buy a new dryer or call an appliance technician just yet. There are a few ways you can determine if it is a dryer problem or a duct problem. Knowing where to use your money first is good because for many years, or your different homes, every duct design will be different. Call us to ask!

Yes, and here is a quick test you can do. First, pull your dryer out from the wall and disconnect the dryer hose from the duct on the wall. Now run the dryer on a timed dry cycle. If the dryer or the dryer vent hose stays hot and blows hot for 1-5 minutes without cutting out you have a dryer vent problem and not a dryer problem! If it never heats up you have a dryer problem. If it is a dryer problem, be aware that if you purchase a new dryer and hook it up it could be a dryer vent problem that resulted in your dryer to fail. Your dryer vent might need to be cleaned as well for your new dryer to work properly.

* Please note if you are running a gas dryer you should take extreme precaution and perform this test at your own risk. Gas is very flammable. So open any windows or doors before doing so. Be very careful not to ignite any gas or run your dryer for no longer than 5 minutes.
We do not service dryers. We service vents from single dryers to stackable dryers, any make or model. Remember, we service the dryer vent. Not the dryer.

This is usually a scam or a bait and switch tactic. Anyone who would clean your air ducts for $29 – $89 are not licensed, bonded or insured in dryer vents or air ducts. Over the phone they will quote you a price and when they do their evaluation, it’s double or even triple the price! Please stay away from these people. Remember, in life, you get what you pay for!

Every dryer is different. Usually 1 hour 30 minutes up to 3 hours for one load. A good clean dryer vent will get laundry done in about an hour.

Most people do quite a bit of laundry daily or weekly and bottom line, it really saves you money!

Honest, competitive & fair. If we said the price online all the other companies would try and match it. The problem is they don’t compare to service. When a customer calls we have 3 questions. Based on those questions we give you our personal quote. Our cleanings always have a flat rate fee. So the quote you get for a dryer vent cleaning is what will be.

Over time, the dryer vents in your home can become blocked by debris and lint. This blockage can cause a whole bunch of issues, from safety hazards to pricey damage.Often times, your dryer vent is left out of your home maintenance routine. Let’s talk about why it’s important to clean your dryer vent.
Gas dryers can cause a risk for carbon monoxide poisoning if not properly maintained. Dryer vents that get clogged with lint or obstructed by a bird’s nest can prevent fumes from properly exiting the vent’s line.The gases instead will build up inside your home and create the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you own a gas dryer, it is even more important that you have your dryer vent cleaned.Our professionally trained technicians will remove clogs from lint and debris that can build up from clothing, dryer sheets and nests to restore proper ventilation.
When lint collects in the dryer vent system, the dryer can overheat, which creates a spark, and can cause a fire. In order to decrease the risk of a dryer fire, it’s important that a professional dryer vent and air duct cleaner inspect your dryer vent at least once annually.Through 2010-2014, the US municipal fire departments were called to over 15,000 home fires involving clothes dryers or washing machines.All of these fires resulted in 13 deaths per year, 440 injuries per year, and more than $230 million in direct property damage. Dryers accounted for 92% of the fires, washing machines accounted 4% and a combination of the two accounted for 5%.Failing to clean dryer vents was a factor in nearly 34% of dryer fires, making it a leading factor in home dryer fires.

Once again, as always (we have our vents cleaned 2 - 3 times per yr) we had a great experience. Dryer Vent Cleaning does a fantastic job, and is the reason why our non-commercial dryer has lasted for more than 5 years at our business. Our dryer runs continuously all day everyday during the work week.

Used them 16months ago service was great. Used them recently not so great. The dryer vent came loose 2 days after they worked on it and they don't respond to calls or messages or e mails. Won't be using them again due to the lack of ability to make contact with them. Update don't be fooled by company response to me they still haven't done anything nor reached out to make things right.

Dryer Vent Cleaning, Inc is truly outstanding. They were able to diagnose and repair an issue that other vent cleaning companies could not fix. In addition, they gave me recommendations that will ensure my dryer works worry free for many years.

I had a great experience. From the beginning of the process, the communicated, dates, expected arrival times, etc, incredibly well.The tech, Romero, was polite, clean, articulate, and knowledgeable. Here is what he did: Put on slip-on shoe covers to protect the floors; great with my dogs; patient while I asked a few questions; cleaned up the lint filter including the top of my dryer, back of dryer, floor, and inside vent, roof vent, etc; MOST IMPORTANT, when complete, Romero showed me before and after pictures of every step (including the roof vent cleaning and air flow).I'm a single guy with 2 dogs and the last time I cleaned the vent was 3 yrs ago, I should have done a year or so sooner - that may help determine how often you need to have it done. Those with a family or do more than 1-load/wk, may want to keep closer to the recommended 1x/yr AND use this company.It is rare you can find small companies you can trust.
