Frequently Asked Questions

How often should dryer vents be cleaned?
Dryer vents should be professionally cleaned at least once a year to prevent lint buildup, reduce fire risk, and improve your dryer's efficiency. Homes with larger families or frequent laundry loads may need more frequent cleanings.

What are the signs my dryer vent needs cleaning?
If your clothes take longer to dry, the dryer feels hot to the touch, there’s a burning smell, or you notice excess lint behind the dryer, these are signs your dryer vent may be clogged and needs immediate attention.

Why is dryer vent cleaning important for fire safety?
Lint is highly flammable. When it builds up inside dryer vents, it can overheat and ignite, making dryer vent cleaning one of the most important steps in protecting your home or business from a potential fire hazard.
