Dryer Vent Cleaning

Why Dryer Vent Cleaning Is Required

Over time, lint and debris accumulate inside the exhaust duct of your dryer. This slows airflow, overheats the unit, and becomes a serious fire hazard.

In New York City, most dryers vent through narrow, shared, or long ducting — which clogs faster than standard installations.

Signs You Need a Cleaning

• Dryer takes more than one cycle to dry
• Unit gets excessively hot during use
• Burning smell during operation
• Lint visible around vent outlet
• No recent maintenance (over 12 months)

What We Do

• Disconnect dryer and inspect ductwork
• Use mechanical brush system to scrub vent walls
• Vacuum debris from inside, including wall elbows and joints
• Check exterior flap or wall cap for free movement
• Reconnect and verify airflow post-clean

For rooftop or shared multi-unit vents, we offer visual scope check and coordination with building maintenance (if required).

Result

• Faster dry cycles
• Lower energy usage
• Reduced fire hazard
• Less strain on motor and heating element

Note: Dryer vent cleaning is not the same as cleaning the lint screen. We service the full duct from inside the appliance to the wall or exterior.
