Dryer vent services

From a routine cleaning to rerouting a problem vent, we connect you with independent local technicians for the job. Services and pricing are set by the provider. Ask them about what's included when they quote.

Dryer vent cleaning

A full cleaning clears lint from the whole exhaust path: the transition hose behind the dryer, the duct inside the wall, ceiling or attic, and the exterior hood or roof cap. Technicians typically use rotary brushes and high-powered vacuums or air tools sized for residential 4-inch ducts, working from one or both ends of the run.

Typically includes

Disconnecting and reconnecting the dryer
Brushing and vacuuming the full duct run
Clearing the exterior hood or roof cap
Checking airflow at the termination afterward

Lint removal

Lint doesn't only collect in the duct. It builds up in the lint screen housing, under and behind the drum, and around the back of the machine. NFPA recommends removing lint that has collected around the drum as well as cleaning the screen every load. A lint removal visit focuses on these spots along with the transition hose.

Typically includes

Lint screen housing and trap cavity
Behind and beneath the dryer
Transition hose cleaning or replacement
Exterior hood clean-out

Dryer vent inspection

An inspection looks at the condition of the vent system, not just how dirty it is: the duct material, the length and number of turns, whether joints are secure, and whether the hood flap opens freely. It's useful after buying a home, before listing one, or when a dryer is underperforming and you're not sure why.

Typically includes

Duct material and connections
Run length, elbows and sagging sections
Termination hood and damper operation
Recommendations, with photos if available

Bird nest removal

A warm dryer vent is an inviting spot for nesting birds, especially in spring. A nest can block a vent completely. Technicians remove the nest and debris, clean the duct, and can install a vent guard designed to keep birds out without trapping lint. Many species are protected by law, so if eggs or chicks are present, a professional can advise on timing.

Typically includes

Nest and debris removal
Duct cleaning after removal
Damaged hood replacement
Bird-resistant vent guard options

Vent repair & rerouting

Some vents can't be fixed by cleaning alone. Crushed or plastic transition hose, disconnected joints in an attic, or a run that's far too long or full of turns will clog again quickly. Repairs can include replacing hose with metal venting, resealing joints, replacing a broken hood, or rerouting the duct to a shorter, straighter path that follows the dryer manufacturer's instructions and local code.

Typically includes

Replace vinyl/foil hose with metal venting
Reconnect or reseal joints
Replace broken or stuck hoods and roof caps
Shorten or reroute long runs

Commercial & multi-unit

Apartment complexes, condo associations, townhome communities, short-term rentals, senior living, salons, gyms and laundromats all run many dryers or use them heavily. Scheduled cleaning across all units helps property managers keep dryers working and document maintenance. Tell us the number of units and the type of building, and we'll connect you with a provider who handles larger jobs.

Typically includes

Apartments, condos & HOAs
Short-term and vacation rentals
Scheduled building-wide cleanings
Businesses with heavy dryer use

What affects the price?

Quotes vary by provider and by home. The biggest factors are usually the length of the vent run, how many elbows it has, whether it ends on a wall or the roof, how much buildup there is, and whether repairs or new parts are needed. Multi-unit jobs are usually priced per unit or per building. Ask your technician to explain the quote before work begins.
