Dryer Vent Cleaning Services

If you’re due for maintenance or haven’t kept up with regular home dryer vent cleaning, there will be some telltale signs that it’s time for a dryer vent cleaning service. Here are some things to look out for:

1. Clothes aren’t drying properly
2. Your dryer is hot to the touch
3. It’s taking longer than normal to dry clothes
4. Your dryer has a burnt smell
5. There's excess lint or no lint in the trap
6. Laundry area is hot or humid

A dryer vent should be cleaned once every three to twelve months, depending on how often you use your dryer. Larger households that do at least one or two loads of laundry daily should schedule periodic inspections to determine the frequency of dryer vent cleanings. An annual dryer vent cleaning is likely sufficient if you do laundry less often.

Yes, the dryer vent cleaning service is worth it. Even when you clean your lint trap regularly, not all the lint from your laundry is removed. In fact, only about 25 percent of the lint from your clothes is collected by the lint trap you slide out of the front of your dryer.

That means the rest is building up in the dryer vent system, restricting airflow and causing your dryer to work harder. As a result, you may start paying more on monthly energy bills and be at risk of a fire. Know how often to clean your dryer vent, and stick to a maintenance plan!

Neglecting dryer vent cleaning significantly increases the risk of a house fire. Additionally, your dryer will become less efficient, leading to longer drying times, increased wear and tear on clothes, higher energy bills, and a shorter lifespan for your appliance due to increased strain.

If your dryer does need repair, it’s best to contact a professional dryer vent repair expert who can diagnose your issues and find a fix as quickly as possible. Don’t wait until your dryer is a safety hazard.

No. While cleaning the lint trap before every load is essential, it only captures a portion of the lint. Fine lint particles can still bypass the filter and accumulate in the dryer vent over time, necessitating regular professional dryer vent cleaning.

If you think your dryer vent is clogged, look for signs such as clothes taking longer to dry, clothes or the dryer feeling unusually hot, a burning smell, excessive lint on clothes, the outdoor vent flap not opening properly, or increased humidity in the laundry room. Any of these signs may indicate that you need to contact a professional to diagnose any issues and potentially clean your dryer vent.
