Dryer Vent Cleaning & Repair — Book a Visit Today
Lint is sneaky. It rides the warm air out of your dryer, then settles in the duct where it slows everything down. Add desert dust and a long run through the attic, and the vent chokes. Clothes come out damp. The laundry room feels like a sauna. Sometimes the dryer shuts itself off partway through. A visit starts at the dryer, then follows the duct all the way to the outside hood. We pull the buildup, check the transition hose for crushing or kinks, and make sure the flap outside actually opens. Loose joints get resealed. Crushed sections get replaced. If your dryer runs twice for one load, call us and we'll take a look.

The dryer vent cleaning & symptoms we hear most
- Towels take three cycles to dry Restricted airflow from lint packed in the duct run

- Dryer quits before the cycle ends High-limit thermostat tripping on trapped heat
- Something smells scorched back there Lint baking against a hot element or blocked exhaust
- Outside flap never opens anymore Clogged vent hood, bird nest, or a stuck damper
Safe things to check first
Worth a look before you call — sometimes it saves you the visit.
- 1Peek behind the dryer and make sure the flex hose isn't crushed flat against the wall.
- 2Step outside while a load runs and feel whether warm air is actually pushing out of the hood.
- 3Pull the lint screen and rinse it under water; if it holds a puddle, dryer sheet residue is blocking it.
- 4Look for lint dust collecting on the floor or wall behind the dryer, which points to a loose duct connection.

Dryer Vent Cleaning & Repair — quick answers
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
Once a year suits most households. Bigger families, pet hair, or a long duct run through the attic mean more often. If drying times creep up between visits, that's your signal, no matter what the calendar says.
Can a clogged vent really start a fire?
Lint burns easily, and a blocked duct traps heat right where lint sits. That combination is why fire departments talk about dryer vents every year. Keeping the run clear and the joints sealed removes most of the risk.
My dryer is new but clothes stay damp. Why?
New machines are often fine while the duct behind them is the problem. A fresh dryer pushes the same air through the same clogged pipe. We test airflow at the hood before we touch the appliance itself.
Do you fix the duct, or only clean it?
Both. Cleaning handles lint. Repair handles crushed flex hose, disconnected joints in a crawlspace, missing outside hoods, and sections that were taped instead of properly fastened. Sometimes the fix is rerouting a run that's simply too long.
Is flexible foil duct okay to use?
Thin foil and plastic ribbed hose snag lint and crush behind the dryer. Rigid or semi-rigid metal moves air better and stays put. When we replace a transition, we use material suited to that install.
How long does a vent cleaning visit take?
Most straightforward runs wrap up in about an hour. Rooftop terminations, second-story routes, or a duct packed solid take longer. We'll tell you what we're seeing once we get eyes on the run.
