"Needed my dryer vent cleaned. When Ned called I explained to him that I had two 90 degree angles. He assured me he had all the equipment needed to handle this job. When the two men arrived my husband showed them a picture of the two angles in the vent. One guy didn't speak english and walked away. Didn't even want to look at the picture. The other guy who spoke limited english just told us to call his boss. We told him his boss had already assured us they could do the job. Now for all the equipment they brought - a generator that they couldn't even get started. We have an outlet out back and told them to use it. They then just put a small hose in the vent which was blowing air. I was in the closet with the dryer and could hear the hose as it came in. It stopped at the first angle and couldn't bend to go any further. They then left. I was also told that they would bag up any lint that came out on the lawn. Big surprise - there wasn't any. My vent is still clogged."

"I'm breathing clean air for the first time in four years in our rental! I could write a short story based on the experience we had. Our rental property refuses to clean and maintain our ductwork, so we took matters into our own hands. Julio and his assistant were friendly, knowledgeable, and very detail oriented. Arriving on time is a challenge for most services but it is not for this team! While I was horrified by the before photos, access to the before and after photos was an incredible bonus and we'll be sharing those with the rental company. They were respectful of the whole space, wore shoe covers, vacuumed surfaces or the floor as needed, and figured out the best way to get equipment run up to our third-floor walk-up. VERY reasonably priced as well, especially considering how gross our ducts were. Look no further - they'll get it done properly."

When drying loads start taking longer—or worse, the machine smells hot or shuts off due to overheating—it’s time to call a professional. Extra lint on clothes or in the trap, a musty or burning odor, and a vent flap that no longer opens easily all hint at a clog. Each sign points to restricted airflow, higher energy bills, and a greater fire risk, so don’t ignore them.
Clean your dryer vent at least once per year to keep your dryer operating efficiently and prevent fires. If your dryer is located far from an exterior wall, you may need to increase the frequency of cleanings to twice a year. Doing laundry daily for a large household may require an increase to quarterly cleanings to keep the vents and ducts clear of debris.
You should contact a specialist for thorough dryer vent cleaning. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or companies dedicated to dryer vent cleaning possess the necessary expertise and equipment to manage every vent configuration, including challenging setups such as roof-installed or extended duct systems. Reaching out to a qualified professional ensures both safety and efficiency throughout the cleaning process.
You cannot operate a standard dryer without a properly attached vent hose. An unconnected vent forces hot, moist air into your home, which compromises indoor air quality and accelerates mold and mildew growth. This unsafe condition not only raises the risk of fires but also leads to extensive repair expenses, as it breaches local building codes that require external venting.
