The U.S. Fire Administration reports that clogged dryer vents cause tens of thousands of house fires every year. Lint builds up silently inside your dryer vent line — and because it’s hidden, most homeowners never know there’s a problem until it’s too late.

We clear the entire vent line from the dryer to the exterior exhaust — removing lint, blockages, and debris that put your home at risk.

Our FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should dryer vents be cleaned?
At least once a year. Households that run the dryer daily may need cleaning every 6 months.
What are the signs my dryer vent is clogged?
Clothes taking longer than one cycle to dry, the dryer feeling very hot to the touch, a burning smell, or the exterior flap not opening when the dryer runs.
Can a clogged dryer vent really cause a fire?
Yes. Lint is highly flammable and builds up quickly inside the vent line. It’s one of the most overlooked fire risks in the home.
Do you repair vents as well as clean them?
Yes. If we find damaged sections, bird nests, or improper routing, we can repair or replace the ductwork on the same visit.
