Lint that gets past the dryer screen settles in the vent run, especially in long runs and runs with several turns. Over time it chokes airflow and lint is combustible.
Signs it is time
- Clothes take more than one cycle to dry
- The dryer or laundry room gets unusually hot
- A burning smell while the dryer runs
- The outside hood flap barely opens, or lint collects around it
- It has been a year or more since the last cleaning
What we do
We clean the full run from the dryer to the outside hood, clear the hood and check that the flap opens freely. Dryer vent cleaning is $147, or add it to a chimney sweep visit. Book online.
