  • Dryer Vent Cleaning

    The base cost for this service is $159. Price subject to change depending on location of dryer vent (side versus roof), length of venting, etc.

    Dryer vent cleaning involves the process of removing lint, debris, and other obstructions from the dryer vent system. This system typically includes the vent duct, the exhaust hose, and the vent cap that leads outside. Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the efficiency and safety of the dryer.

    Importance of Dryer Vent Cleaning:

    Fire Prevention: Lint buildup is a major fire hazard. Cleaning the vent reduces the risk of dryer fires.

    Improved Efficiency: A clean vent allows the dryer to operate more efficiently, reducing drying times and energy consumption.

    Extended Appliance Life: Removing obstructions helps prevent overheating and excessive wear on the dryer.

    Reduced Repair Costs: Regular maintenance can help avoid costly repairs due to damage from clogged vents.

    Health Benefits: Clearing out mold, dust, and allergens that can accumulate in the vent improves indoor air quality.
