Does your laundry take forever to dry because your machine feels like it is working against you? You might have a serious buildup inside your exhaust system that needs professional removal right now.
Getting this service done means you save money on bills and keep your house safe from unexpected accidents. Because we work right here in this specific part of Jefferson Parish, we can stop by to check your setup and give you a free price estimate.
You probably think that cleaning the little screen inside your machine is all it takes to keep things running smooth. While that screen catches a lot of fuzz, plenty of tiny particles still slip past the filter and travel deep into the pipes.
Over time, this material piles up and creates a thick blockage that stops hot air from moving outside like it should. This trap of heat makes your appliance strain harder, which causes it to wear out much faster than the manufacturer intended.
Most people forget about the long metal or plastic tube that runs from their laundry room to the outside wall. Because this path is often hidden behind walls or in tight crawl spaces, you never see the mess accumulating inside.
This situation creates a massive fire hazard that builds up silently behind your drywall. By letting us clear out those hidden tunnels, you protect your family and belongings from a disaster that you can easily prevent.
| Benefit | Why it matters | |
|---|---|---|

| Lower energy bills | Keeps more cash in your wallet | |
| Longer appliance life | Prevents expensive machine repairs | |
| Better air quality | Removes dust from your living area |
Living in this vibrant city of 66,910 people means we deal with high humidity levels throughout the year. Because moisture hangs in the air, your laundry system holds onto damp particles that stick to the walls of the exhaust tubing.
This sticky residue acts like glue for more lint, making the buildup grow faster than it would in a drier climate. Keeping your exhaust clear is a smart way to maintain your property value and ensure your home stays efficient during the hot summer months.
Whenever you notice your clothes are still damp after a full cycle, that is your first warning sign. You might also notice that the top of your machine feels incredibly hot to the touch while it runs.
Another clear indicator is a strange or burning smell coming from the laundry area when the unit is active. Please do not ignore these signs because they are the system telling you that it is struggling to breathe.
Trying to clear these long tunnels with a vacuum or a brush you bought at the store rarely works. These DIY tools usually just push the debris further down the line or create a bigger clog near the exit point.
We use high-powered equipment designed to reach every inch of the pipe and pull the debris out completely. This process restores the airflow to its original state so your machine can vent properly once again.

Think about how much electricity your dryer consumes when it runs for two or three cycles just to dry one load of towels. This extra work adds up quickly on your monthly statement, especially with the costs of living these days.
By removing the blockage, you allow the hot air to escape quickly and efficiently. You will notice that your clothes dry in one single cycle, which puts less stress on the motor and saves you money.

When your request comes in us for a free estimate, we come out and perform a quick check of your current setup. We look at the exterior vent to see if there is any visible debris blocking the exit point.
Then we go inside to assess the length and path of the tubing connected to your machine. This helps us understand the best way to clean the entire length without causing any damage to your walls or flooring.
We start by disconnecting the flexible hose from the back of your machine to reach the main pipe. Our specialized tools enter the ductwork and rotate to knock loose all the hardened material stuck to the sides.
We then use a powerful suction method to pull all that junk out into a collection bag. You will be amazed at how much stuff we pull out of a system that looked clean from the outside.
After we finish the cleaning, we verify that the air is flowing freely through the entire length of the tube. We also check the exterior flap to ensure it opens and closes correctly to keep pests out.
This level of care ensures you have a high state of relaxation knowing everything is handled by a pro. You can rest easy knowing your home is safe and your laundry system is finally acting like it should.
Waiting until your machine stops working entirely or until you smell smoke is never the best strategy. Be proactive by scheduling a check-up before the problem turns into a genuine disaster.

The dryer is the only appliance in the house that pipes hot air through a tube of its own kindling. Keeping that tube empty is the entire job.
Every cycle sheds a little of your clothes into the exhaust stream. The screen you clean catches maybe half of it; the rest travels down the duct, cools, and settles into a gray felt. That felt is dried, shredded fiber, which is another way of saying kindling packed inside a warm metal tube.
Lint does not blow out of a duct any more than a sweater unravels politely. A rotary brush on flexible rods scrubs the wall of the duct while a vacuum pulls the loosened mat toward the machine, so the clog leaves in a bag instead of packing itself tighter at the first elbow.
A clean duct is not an opinion. We hold an anemometer at the outside cap before the work and again after, and the jump in feet per minute is the whole story. Your dryer was pushing against a wall; now it is breathing through an open pipe.
Nobody needs a subscription to common sense. Here is the honest rhythm, household by household.
| Your laundry life | A fair rhythm | Why |
|---|---|---|
| One or two people, short straight run | Every 12 months | Light lint, easy path. A yearly sweep keeps it that way. |
| Family of four or more | Every 6 to 9 months | More loads, more lint. Big households fill a duct about twice as fast. |
| Shedding pets at home | Every 6 months | Fur rides the laundry into the duct and mats the lint into felt. |
| Run over 25 feet or with several elbows | Every 6 months | Each foot and bend slows the air, so lint settles sooner and deeper. |
| Vent exits through the roof | Every 6 months | Vertical runs fight gravity and roof caps clog where nobody looks. |
| Gas dryer, any layout | Every 12 months without fail | The same duct carries combustion gases; a blockage pushes them back indoors. |
If the last sweep is a mystery, start now and set the rhythm from there. The visit report notes the next due date so you never have to remember.
Rotary brush and vacuum from both ends of the duct, elbows included, until the rods come back clean.
Everything the brush frees gets captured and weighed in front of you, not blown into the yard.
Birds love a warm pipe. The nest comes out whole, the duct gets sanitized, a guard keeps the next tenant out.
The crushed foil accordion behind the dryer is a lint trap of its own. We swap it for smooth semi-rigid metal.
An anemometer reading at the cap before and after, written on the report, so the difference is a number.
We pull the machine, clean behind it, reconnect the transition properly and level the feet on the way back.
A clogged dryer vent announces itself for months before anyone listens. Towels need a second cycle. The top of the dryer gets too hot to rest a hand on. A warm, faintly toasty smell hangs in the laundry room, which people blame on the detergent, the new dryer sheets, anything but the duct. The room feels muggier than it should, because moist air that cannot leave through the wall leaks back into the house instead.
Outside, the evidence is even plainer around Kenner. Run a load and stand by the exhaust cap: the flap should swing open and push a firm stream of warm air at your hand. A flap that barely trembles, a cap bearded with gray fuzz, or no airflow at all while the dryer hums away indoors means the run between is packing solid.
None of these symptoms fix themselves, and the expensive guesses come first: a service call on a healthy dryer, or a new machine that dries no faster than the old one, because the problem was never the appliance. The duct behind it costs a fraction of either to put right.
One tap on the quote button and the request is away, done before the kettle whistles.
We ask three things: gas or electric, where the vent exits, roughly how long the run is. Then we pick a window that suits you.
Dryer pulled, transition off, rotary brush through the full run while the vacuum captures everything. The cap gets cleared and its flap freed.
Airflow at the cap, before and after, plus photos of the cap and the lint bag. You see the difference, not just hear about it.
What was found, what was done, what the readings were and when the vent is due again. Filed by us, kept by you.
| Line of work | Typical range | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Standard vent sweep, wall exit | $90 - $160 | Brush from both ends, vacuum capture, cap cleared, airflow read twice. |
| Long run or roof exit | $140 - $260 | Extra rod lengths, ladder work and a second pass at the far elbows. |
| Exterior cap cleaned or replaced | $60 - $150 | A flap that cannot swing is a clog on layaway; a new cap ends it. |
| Foil transition swapped for semi-rigid metal | $45 - $95 | The crushed accordion hose goes; smooth metal that sheds lint replaces it. |
| Bird nest cleared, guard fitted | $120 - $250 | Nest out whole, duct sanitized, a guard that stops beaks but not lint. |
| Service minimum | about $85 | Covers the van and setup when the vent turns out short and simple. |
Nothing sways the figure like run length and exit point, which is why the scheduling call pins both down before any van rolls.
Vent cleaning has a credibility problem: the work happens inside a wall, and most of the trades that touch it ask to be taken at their word. We would rather not be taken at anything. Every visit opens with an airflow reading at the exhaust cap and closes with a second one, and both numbers go on the report in ink. A duct that went from a wheeze to a steady push is a result you can hold.
The photos work the same way. You get the cap as we found it, the cap as we left it, and the bag of what lived in between. When we swap a crushed foil transition for semi-rigid metal, the old hose goes in the photo set too, kinks and all. Nothing about the visit should require faith.
And when a vent is already clean, the reading says so in the first five minutes. We tell you, note the date the duct will actually need service, and leave without inventing work. A measurement culture cuts both ways, which is rather the point of having one.
Under an hour for most single dryers around Kenner, including moving the machine and resetting it. Roof exits and long runs with several elbows stretch it toward ninety minutes.
Both. The brush enters from the dryer side and from the cap, meeting in the middle, because a one-sided sweep leaves the far elbows exactly as clogged as before. The vacuum runs the whole time either way.
Yes. The nest comes out whole, the duct is cleaned and sanitized behind it, and a guard goes on the cap that blocks beaks without trapping lint. A screen with fine mesh would clog in a season, which is why we never fit one.
You watch the airflow number change. The anemometer reading at the cap before and after is on your report, next to the photos and the lint bag. The dryer confirms it on the next load, back to one cycle.
It is the most common one we see. Crushed foil corrugations catch lint at every ridge and the hose kinks flat the moment the dryer is pushed back. Semi-rigid metal keeps a smooth bore, holds its shape and does not feed the fire triangle.
The brushing is identical, but the stakes differ. A gas dryer sends combustion byproducts down the same duct, so a blockage can push them back into the house. We treat gas runs as non-negotiable yearly appointments and handle the connector area with real care.
Every marker is a rooftop with a dryer under it. Below the map, each community within driving range keeps a page of its own.
Somewhere behind your dryer, a duct is quietly filling up.
