Professional dryer vent cleaning and repair
A clogged dryer vent can make clothes take longer to dry, force the dryer to run extra cycles, increase heat inside the dryer, and shorten the life of the appliance. Lint that gets past the lint screen can collect in the dryer duct, exterior vent hood, and sometimes inside the dryer blower housing.

Signs your dryer vent needs cleaning
If you notice any of these warning signs, the vent may be restricted by lint, crushed ducting, a blocked exterior hood, or a clogged dryer blower housing.
- Clothes take longer than usual to dry
- The dryer feels excessively hot
- A burning smell appears during drying cycles
- The exterior vent hood flap does not open properly
- Lint builds up around the dryer or outside vent
- The laundry room feels unusually warm or humid
- The dryer shuts off before clothes are dry
- Dryer cycles need to be repeated
Dryer vent problems we fix
Cleaning the vent is only part of the job when the dryer duct is unsafe, damaged, crushed, sagging, or poorly installed. We can repair or replace dryer ducting and clean the vent system so air can move properly again.
Dryer Lint Buildup
Lint that gets past the lint screen can collect inside the vent line. Heavy buildup makes the dryer work harder and can create overheating and airflow problems.
Clogged Dryer Blower Housing
Lint can collect inside the dryer housing and around the blower wheel. When the blower housing is restricted, the dryer may overheat, shut off, or fail to move air properly.
How to lower dryer fire risk
Dryer lint is flammable, and clogged vents can cause the dryer to overheat. Regular cleaning and safer ducting help reduce risk while also improving drying performance.
- Clean the lint screen every time you use the dryer
- Have the dryer vent cleaned about once a year
- Replace plastic or foil ducting when possible
- Use rigid or semi-rigid metal dryer ducting
- Keep the exterior vent hood clear
- Do not run the dryer if you smell burning
Clogged Dryer Vents Can Be Dangerous
Blocked dryer vents can contribute to overheating, property damage, and fire risk. If your dryer is running hot or taking extra cycles, it is time to check the vent.

Dryer vent cleaning FAQ
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
Many homes should have the dryer vent cleaned about once a year. Homes with heavy dryer use, pets, long vent runs, roof vents, or repeated drying cycles may need cleaning more often.
Can you replace unsafe dryer ducting?
Yes. We can repair or replace damaged, fallen, plastic, foil, crushed, or poorly routed dryer ducting and clean the vent system afterward.
Why are my clothes taking so long to dry?
Long drying times can be caused by lint buildup, a clogged exterior vent hood, crushed ducting, long vent runs, or lint inside the dryer blower housing. Cleaning and proper ducting can often improve airflow.
