How Often Should You Clean Your Dryer Vent & Why?
It’s recommended to clean your dryer vent at least once a year to maintain optimal dryer performance and indoor air quality. Over time, lint and debris can accumulate in the vent, obstructing airflow and causing your dryer to work harder. This not only increases energy consumption but also significantly raises the risk of a dryer fire, as lint is highly flammable. Regular cleaning helps your dryer run more efficiently, reduces energy bills, and helps maintain your home’s safety.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process
We follow a thorough, multi-step process to clean your dryer vent efficiently and safely.
Here’s what you can expect when you schedule a dryer vent cleaning with us:
- Inspection and assessment - Our technicians inspect your dryer vent system to assess its condition and identify any potential issues, such as blockages, damage, or improper installation.
- Unclogging and debris removal - Using specialized equipment, we carefully remove built-up lint, dirt, and any other debris that may be obstructing airflow. We use powerful vacuums and high-quality brushes to clear the entire vent duct, from the dryer to the external vent exit.
- Checking for leaks and damage - We inspect the venting system for any leaks, cracks, or signs of wear that could affect its performance or safety. If we find any damage, we discuss repair options with you.
- Testing the system - After the cleaning is complete, we run the dryer to test the airflow and confirm that the system is functioning properly. We also check the external vent to verify that it is clear of any blockages.
- Final recommendations - Once the cleaning is done, we provide you with recommendations for ongoing maintenance and any steps you can take to keep your dryer vent system in top condition.

Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs to Be Cleaned
We know you’ve got a lot on your plate, but we recommend monitoring your dryer vent so you know when to schedule a cleaning service. That way, our team can come in and take care of any obstructions before they get a chance to worsen and cause damage.
If you’re noticing any of the following issues, schedule a dryer vent cleaning service:
- Longer drying times - If your clothes are taking longer than usual to dry, it could indicate that your dryer vent is clogged and air is not circulating properly.
- Overheating or hot dryer - If your dryer feels unusually hot to the touch or if the room becomes uncomfortably warm during a cycle, it may be a sign of restricted airflow in the vent.
- Burning smell - A musty or burning odor while the dryer is running can be a warning sign of overheating lint or debris trapped in the vent.
- Excess lint around the dryer - If you notice lint buildup around your dryer or on the floor, it could indicate a vent clog or a leaking vent.
- Increased energy bills - If your dryer is working harder to dry clothes due to blocked airflow, you may see a spike in your energy costs.
- Fluff or lint around the vent opening - If you see lint coming from the vent opening outside your home, this is a sign that your vent is clogged and needs immediate attention.
