SERVICES WE PROVIDE
Lint is highly flammable. Without proper vent maintenance, it accumulates in hidden places—inside walls, duct elbows, and dryer cabinets—where it can easily ignite.
What a Pro Offers:
We remove hidden lint from the full dryer vent system, including hard-to-reach areas most homeowners can’t access. Our tools and techniques eliminate the fire risk at its source.
A blocked vent can cause deadly carbon monoxide from gas dryers to back up into your home instead of being safely vented outside.
What a Pro Offers:
We inspect the vent path for obstructions, ensure proper airflow, and verify that combustion gases are exhausting safely—protecting your family from invisible, odorless danger.
A clogged vent makes your dryer work harder and longer. That means more energy consumption and higher utility costs.
What a Pro Offers:
By restoring full airflow, we help your dryer run efficiently—often reducing drying time by up to 50%. You’ll see savings on energy and less wear on your appliance.
When airflow is restricted, your dryer runs longer, overheats, and wears out faster.
What a Pro Offers:
Our professional cleaning allows your dryer to perform as designed—reducing strain on motors and heating elements, and extending its lifespan.
Apartment complexes, townhomes, and condos often have complex, multi-story vent layouts that are difficult to access and maintain.
What a Pro Offers:
We provide scheduled service for every unit, work directly with property managers, and ensure building-wide compliance—all with minimal disruption to tenants.
Outdated, crushed, or plastic venting materials increase the risk of fire and violate building codes.
What a Pro Offers:
We assess your existing system and, if needed, replace it with safe, durable metal venting. We also re-route poorly installed ducts to optimize airflow and access.
Animals and insects love warm dryer vents. Nests can fully block airflow and introduce health and safety issues.
What a Pro Offers:
We safely remove nests and pests, then install pest-proof vent guards that allow proper airflow while keeping unwanted visitors out.
Homeowners and property managers want assurance that the job was done right.
What a Pro Offers:
We provide before-and-after airflow readings, visual inspection results, and maintenance recommendations—giving you full confidence and documentation for your records or insurance.

- Pro Tip #3
A clogged lint filter restricts airflow, making your dryer work harder and increasing the risk of overheating and fire.
No matter how much somebody uses their dryer, the suggested cleaning time should be annually, or semi-annually for heavy use.
Watch for warning signs of a clogged or failing vent system.
Why it matters: Lint buildup in and around the lint trap restricts airflow and can ignite under high heat. Even if you clean the filter, internal components often remain clogged.
What a Professional Service Provides:
- Deep Filter Housing Cleaning: We remove the filter, vacuum and clean down into the filter cavity where lint accumulates out of sight—something most homeowners can’t safely access.
- Full Dryer Cabinet Inspection: During service, we inspect and vacuum the interior cabinet area of the dryer (beneath the drum) where lint can collect and pose serious fire hazards.
Why it matters: The vent ductwork behind the dryer, and through the wall to the exterior, accumulates lint over time—even with regular filter cleaning. The longer the duct, the greater the risk.
What a Professional Service Provides:
- Full Vent Line Cleaning: Using specialized rotary brushes and high-powered vacuums, we clear the entire duct system—from the back of your dryer to the outside termination hood.
- Exterior Vent Hood Maintenance: We inspect and clean the exit point to ensure the vent flap opens properly, is clear of nests or obstructions, and is expelling moisture as intended.
Why it matters: Your dryer will show early warning signs if something’s wrong. Ignoring them risks reduced efficiency, costly repairs, and increased fire potential.
What a Professional Service Provides:
- Dryer Airflow Testing: We use digital airflow meters to measure system efficiency before and after cleaning, so you know your dryer is operating safely and optimally.
- Optional Monitoring Solutions: For homeowners and property managers, we offer installation of dryer vent airflow sensors that alert you when it’s time for your next cleaning.
