Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning Services
There’s a hidden danger spot in most homes today, and chances are you don’t look at it, think about it, or even know it exists. It’s silently building up a fire hazard right under your nose, putting your family and property at serious risk every time you dry a load of laundry.
The Hidden Fire Hazard in Your Home
It’s the vent from your clothes dryer. Over time, it fills with lint that slips past your dryer’s filter, accumulating in the ductwork and creating a highly flammable situation. As the lint builds up, it restricts airflow, causing your dryer to overheat, and then you’re just a step away from a devastating fire.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, thousands of dryer fires occur each year, causing injuries, deaths, and millions of dollars in property damage. The leading cause? Failure to clean dryer vents. Unlike many health and safety issues we face in our homes every day, this safety problem has an easy and economical solution.
The best way to prevent the possibility of a dryer fire harming your house and family is with a thorough dryer vent cleaning by the professionals at Dry-N-Clean. Our experienced technicians have the specialized equipment and expertise to completely remove dangerous lint buildup from your entire dryer vent system.
Warning Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Cleaning
How do you know if your dryer vent is clogged with lint? There are several telltale signs that indicate it’s time for professional cleaning. If your clothes take longer than one cycle to dry, come out hotter than normal, or your dryer itself feels extremely hot to the touch, these are red flags that airflow is restricted.
You might also notice a burning smell when the dryer is running, excessive lint accumulating around the dryer door, or no lint collecting on the lint screen. The outside vent flap may not open properly when the dryer is running, or you might see debris around the outside vent opening. Any of these symptoms warrant immediate professional attention.

Our Professional Cleaning Process
Our trained technicians use specialized rotary brush systems and powerful vacuum equipment to thoroughly clean your entire dryer vent system from the dryer to the exterior vent. We don’t just clean what we can easily reach, we clean the entire duct run, removing years of accumulated lint, debris, and blockages.
We inspect the vent system for damage, improper installation, or code violations that could compromise safety or efficiency. Our technicians will alert you to any issues and can often make repairs or improvements on the spot. We also check that your exterior vent flap operates properly and is free from pest nests or other obstructions.
How Often Should You Clean Your Dryer Vent?
Most homes should have their dryer vents professionally cleaned at least once per year. However, if you have a large family, do multiple loads of laundry daily, or have pets that shed, you may need more frequent cleaning. Homes with longer vent runs or vents with multiple turns and bends also require more frequent attention.
Regular dryer vent maintenance is a small investment that protects your family, saves energy, and extends your dryer’s lifespan. Don’t wait until you notice problems, schedule preventive cleaning to keep your home safe and your dryer running efficiently.
