A Shungopavi tech brushes the duct end to end, anywhere in Navajo County, bags the lint and proves the airflow with a reading at the cap.
A free written quote and one visit that ends with the lint in a bag, not in your wall.
Do you worry about hidden fire hazards lurking inside your laundry room walls? Now is the time to tackle that clogged metal tubing behind your heavy appliance before disaster strikes.
This local service helps homeowners in Navajo County keep their homes safe from unexpected lint fires. Therefore you gain total peace of mind while running your laundry cycles every single week.
Every single time you dry a load of wet towels tiny fibers escape the mesh trap. These microscopic particles travel down the long metal tube leading outside your exterior wall. Consequently they accumulate over the months and create a dense obstruction that restricts hot airflow completely.
Most folks forget this vital maintenance task until their clothes take three cycles to dry fully. That extra drying time costs you hard-earned money on your monthly electric bill. Fortunately our local crew brings specialized rotary brushes to scour away every trace of built-up fuzz.
Think about the heavy lint buildup in those hard-to-reach bends behind your laundry machine. This stubborn debris traps moisture and creates a breeding ground for dangerous mold spores inside your ductwork. Because of this neglected upkeep you might notice strange musty odors lingering near your laundry area.
Our hardworking crew arrives right at your doorstep to inspect the entire exhaust run from end to end. We utilize high-powered vacuum systems that suck out years of compacted fuzz in mere minutes. This leaves your metal conduit completely spotless and lets your machine breathe easier than ever before.
Are your jeans still damp after running a full high-heat cycle in the tumble drum? That annoying symptom usually points straight to a severely blocked exhaust pipe that needs immediate professional attention.
Another big red flag is a machine chassis that feels burning hot to the touch during operation. When trapped heat cannot escape safely through the wall vent the internal components overheat very quickly. By acting fast you prevent expensive motor burnouts and protect your household from a potential fire emergency.

Consider how much lint escapes past the standard mesh screen during a typical weekly laundry load. Over several years that stubborn debris forms a thick wall inside your aluminum or flexible transition tubing. Consequently your appliance works twice as hard just to push damp air outside your house.
We solve this frustrating problem by deploying specialized snake cameras that reveal hidden clogs instantly. You actually watch the monitor as our brushes blast through years of gray fuzz and pet hair. This transparency guarantees you get a thorough cleaning without paying for unnecessary mystery fees.
Many hardware stores sell cheap plastic cleaning rods that often snap off halfway inside the wall. If a brush head gets stuck in your ductwork you face a very expensive drywall repair job.

This level of precision protects your fragile aluminum tubing from accidental rips or punctures. Ultimately you save money by hiring local pros who finish the job correctly on the very first try.

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 Shungopavi. 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 Shungopavi, 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.
