About the service
Lint accumulation inside a dryer vent duct is one of the most common and yet underestimated causes of residential fires. I offer a dedicated service: I thoroughly clean the entire duct — from the back wall of the dryer, through the section in the wall or floor, to the external hood on the house facade — restoring safe and full air circulation.
This is a separate task, and it should not be confused with cleaning ordinary ventilation ducts of the heating and air conditioning system (HVAC). The climate control system circulates air through a branched network of supply and exhaust ducts throughout the house, and working with it involves a different scope, different tools, and different risks. A dryer duct is a single dedicated exhaust path through which hot, humid air saturated with lint exits, and it requires its own brushes on a flexible cable and a powerful vacuum cleaner suited to the narrow pipe diameter. I bring exactly this kind of equipment — and I don't charge for services you don't need.
The work begins with an inspection: I check the duct material (flexible foil, rigid metal, or outdated plastic sleeve that should properly be replaced), measure the length of the run and count the turns, inspect the external hood for damage or bird nests. Then I disconnect the dryer, run a rotating brush along the entire length of the duct while simultaneously collecting lint with a vacuum and reassemble the connections with proper clamps — no tape. I separately clean the filter-trap compartment inside the machine itself, because lint accumulates there long before it exits into the duct.
Why this matters: a clogged duct forces the machine to run longer and at higher temperatures, which increases electricity bills, shortens the lifespan of the heating element and, according to fire department statistics, becomes one of the leading causes of home fires annually. Most of my customers have either never had this procedure done or had it done incorrectly. I photograph the duct before and after so the difference is clearly visible, and separately note areas of pipe that need replacement, not just cleaning. The visit usually takes less than an hour for a standard single-story house, and I remind you about the next scheduled cleaning so the issue doesn't get postponed for years.
