Frequently asked questions

The NFPA and most dryer manufacturers recommend once a year. If you have a long duct run, pets, or a large household doing 5+ loads a week, every 6–9 months is safer.

Yes. Lint is highly flammable. The U.S. Fire Administration reports thousands of dryer fires each year, and clogged vents are a leading cause. Annual cleaning is the single best prevention step.

Clothes taking longer to dry, the laundry room feeling hot or humid, a burning smell, excess lint behind the dryer, or the outside vent flap not opening when the dryer runs.

A typical single-family home takes 45–60 minutes, start to finish. We arrive in a 4-hour window and text you 30 minutes before we pull up.

Someone 18+ should be home to let us in and confirm access to the dryer and exterior vent. We can work around your schedule with morning or afternoon windows.

No. Our negative-air vacuum captures debris at the source. Shoe covers on, drop cloths down. You'll barely know we were there — except your dryer will work better.

Standard residential cleanings start at $179 flat. Longer duct runs, rooftop vents, and condo high-rises are quoted upfront before we start. No surprise fees, ever.

Yes. We service apartments, HOAs, property managers, and commercial laundry facilities. Contact us for a custom quote based on unit count and vent layout.

We inspect the full duct run, clean from both the interior and exterior where accessible, test airflow, and verify the exterior termination is clear. We leave a before/after airflow reading when possible.

Fully licensed in every state we serve, $2M liability insurance, and workers' comp on all W-2 technicians. We'll email a certificate of insurance before the job if your HOA or insurer requires it.
