Dryer Vent Inspection
Our dryer vent inspection is a quick, in-home check to assess the condition of your vent from the inside. We evaluate lint buildup and airflow to determine if cleaning is needed, and if so, we’ll recommend the right service—Standard Cleaning, Full Cleaning, or Full Cleaning with Unclog Service.
Standard Cleaning
Straight exit to the exterior of the home
Our Standard Cleaning is designed for dryer vents that exit directly through an exterior wall—typically when the back of the dryer is against an outside wall of the home. This service includes a thorough cleaning of the vent duct to remove lint and buildup, improving airflow, reducing fire risk, and helping you save money on electricity bills by allowing your dryer to run more efficiently.
Full cleaning
May include cut and reseal of the duct in the attic
Our Full Cleaning is ideal for dryer vents that require more than a standard exterior wall clean. If necessary, we’ll carefully cut the vent duct to access and clean from both ends, ensuring a complete removal of lint and debris. After cleaning, the duct is securely resealed for safe and efficient operation.
Full cleaning with unclogging service
Added clog service to full treatment
Our most thorough service, this includes everything in the Full Cleaning—plus clog removal. It's designed for vents with severe blockages that restrict airflow. We locate and clear the clog, clean from both ends if needed, and reseal the duct to restore safe, efficient dryer performance
