Frequently Asked Questions
Why is cleaning dryer vents necessary?
Dryer vents clogged with lint are a leading cause of house fires in the state of Michigan. FEMA and the US Fire Administration recommend cleaning your dryer vent ductwork every year.
How long does it take to clean my dryer vent?
Every home is a little different, but on average, dryer vent cleaning takes 30-60 minutes.
How is dryer vent cleaning priced?
We pride ourselves on transparent and flat-rate pricing. All prices are listed on our online reservation system. BEWARE of companies offering prices too good to be true. Proper dryer vent cleaning requires expensive equipment and sophisticated knowledge. Too often, we have witnessed very poor results in homes from a “low cost” provider.
How often should I clean my air ducts and dryer vents?
We recommend cleaning your dryer vent annually — sometimes more often if you have pets, a recent construction project, asthma or allergies.
What is a dryer vent line?
The dryer vent line runs from your dryer to the outside of your home to remove excess heat generated during the dryer cycle to prevent fires.
I clean my lint trap each time, isn’t that enough?
No. Every time your dryer runs, lint particles build up in the line. The best way to clean the line is to use specialized cleaning equipment and compressed air.
Do dryer vents cause house fires?
Yes. Obstructed dryer vents are the #1 cause of house fires. Prolonged drying cycles overheat the caked lint trapped in the dryer vent and can ignite within the dryer, causing a fire in your home. Approximately 16,000 dryer fires occur annually.
What are the benefits of Dryer Vent Cleaning?
There a 3 main benefits of cleaning your dryer vent exhaust line:
- Reduces the risk of a house fire – Lint is extremely flammable and over time it becomes caked in the line. One spark can cause a disaster.
- Reduced energy consumption – A clogged dryer vent line causes the appliance to run longer, using significantly more electricity. A cleaner dryer vent means a lower utility bill.
- Your clothes will dry faster – Insufficient air flow results in longer drying time for clothes and eventually, the dryer won’t work at all. Not only will your clothes dry more quickly, but your dryer won’t work as hard, extending the life of your equipment.
Can I clean the dryer vent by myself?
Cleaning a dryer vent line properly requires specialized equipment, knowledge and industrial strength air compression equipment. We do not recommend the DIYers try this at home.
Can dryer vent cleaning be booked as a stand-alone service?
Yes. Dryer vent cleaning can be booked as a standalone service. However, when booked with air duct cleaning, we offer a significant discount.
How often should I clean my dryer vents?
FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) & NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) both recommend dryer vent cleaning at least, once per year.
