Dryer Vent Cleaning FAQs

A typical clothes dryer vent cleaning service takes around an hour. Location & accessibility can affect the appointment time. Vents on the second floor that travel through the attic, walls with several bends, or ducts that are difficult to access can take slightly longer and require a more complex cleaning process.

There are a few ways to determine that you need to clean your dryer vents. 

-Does your dryer require more than one cycle to dry your clothes? Especially with heavy items like towels or jeans? 

-Does your dryer feel hotter than usual while running? Clothes will often come out very hot and still damp.

-Is there no lint on the lint screen after a cycle? This usually indicates that the exhaust system is clogged. 

-A major red flag is a dryer that emits a burning smell when in use.

A dirty or clogged dryer vent can be a severe fire hazard. Dryers are associated with around 15,000 fires each year. Regular or annual cleaning of your dryer vents can keep your dryer running efficiently, save you time & money, and reduce the risk of a fire occurring. 

We service all of Riverside County, CA.

We have specialized brushes that spin, loosen, and remove the vents' lint, dust, and debris. We vacuum and clean the entire duct. Before and after the cleaning, we use airflow analysis to ensure your vents are completely clean and your dryer will operate optimally. 

Not always. Your dryer could be operating less optimally than usual if the ducts are clogged with lint or improperly installed. If the vents are the cause of the problem, buying a new dryer won't solve it. Your brand-new dryer will not work well or dry your clothes properly, and you will have to call a vent cleaning service anyway. Consider giving us a call before you commit to purchasing a new dryer. 

Before purchasing a new dryer is the perfect time to get your vents cleaned! Our trained service professionals will inspect and clean your vents and ensure that your new dryer will work at maximum efficiency. Some new dryers have a safety feature that will cause them to shut down if the ducts don't have proper airflow. Cleaning out your dryer vents can fix this.
