Lint is fuel: why this duct matters

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.

What a year of loads leaves behind

What a year of loads leaves behind

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.

Why a brush and not a leaf blower

Why a brush and not a leaf blower

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.

The number that ends the argument

The number that ends the argument

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.

Once a year, or more often

Nobody needs a subscription to common sense. Here is the honest rhythm, household by household.

Your laundry lifeA fair rhythmWhy
One or two people, short straight runEvery 12 monthsLight lint, easy path. A yearly sweep keeps it that way.
Family of four or moreEvery 6 to 9 monthsMore loads, more lint. Big households fill a duct about twice as fast.
Shedding pets at homeEvery 6 monthsFur rides the laundry into the duct and mats the lint into felt.
Run over 25 feet or with several elbowsEvery 6 monthsEach foot and bend slows the air, so lint settles sooner and deeper.
Vent exits through the roofEvery 6 monthsVertical runs fight gravity and roof caps clog where nobody looks.
Gas dryer, any layoutEvery 12 months without failThe 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.

What one visit takes care of

Nests and blockages

Birds love a warm pipe. The nest comes out whole, the duct gets sanitized, a guard keeps the next tenant out.

The signs everyone ignores

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. 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.

The visit, stop by stop

  1. Ask for the price

    One tap on the quote button and the request is away, done before the kettle whistles.

  2. One scheduling call

    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.

  3. The sweep itself

    Dryer pulled, transition off, rotary brush through the full run while the vacuum captures everything. The cap gets cleared and its flap freed.

  4. Proof in numbers

    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.

  5. The written report

    What was found, what was done, what the readings were and when the vent is due again. Filed by us, kept by you.

The price list, nailed to the wall

Line of workTypical rangeIncluded
Standard vent sweep, wall exit$90 - $160Brush from both ends, vacuum capture, cap cleared, airflow read twice.
Long run or roof exit$140 - $260Extra rod lengths, ladder work and a second pass at the far elbows.
Exterior cap cleaned or replaced$60 - $150A flap that cannot swing is a clog on layaway; a new cap ends it.
Foil transition swapped for semi-rigid metal$45 - $95The crushed accordion hose goes; smooth metal that sheds lint replaces it.
Bird nest cleared, guard fitted$120 - $250Nest out whole, duct sanitized, a guard that stops beaks but not lint.
Service minimumabout $85Covers 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.

Measured before, measured after

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.

Questions from the laundry room doorway

How long does a visit take?

Under an hour for most single dryers, including moving the machine and resetting it. Roof exits and long runs with several elbows stretch it toward ninety minutes.

Do you clean from inside or outside?

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.

Birds keep nesting in my vent. Can you stop them for good?

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.

How do I know the cleaning actually worked?

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.

Is the flexible foil hose behind the dryer really a problem?

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.

Gas or electric: does it change the job?

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.
