Your Trusted Duct &
Dryer Vent Cleaners.

The EPA lists three clear signs: visible mold inside the ducts or on other parts of your heating and cooling system, rodents or insects in the ducts, and ducts clogged with dust and debris or dust puffing out of the vents. Moving into a new home or finishing a remodel are good reasons too. We inspect first, and if your ducts don't need cleaning, we'll tell you.

Fire-safety experts recommend having your dryer vent professionally cleaned at least once a year. Larger households that run the dryer every day, and homes with long or twisting vent runs, often need it every 6 months.

Clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, the dryer or your clothes feeling unusually hot, a burning smell while it runs, weak airflow at the outside vent flap, lint collecting around the dryer or outside vent, and clothes that come out smelling musty. If you notice any of these, stop using the dryer and get the vent checked.

Yes. The U.S. Fire Administration estimates about 2,900 home clothes dryer fires every year, and failure to clean is the leading cause. Lint and dust are the most common things to ignite first. Emptying the lint trap helps, but lint still slips past it and builds up inside the vent line, where only a full vent cleaning removes it.

The whole system. The EPA warns that cleaning only the ducts can let dirt from other parts re-contaminate them. We clean the supply ducts, return lines, registers and grilles, plus the blower motor and furnace, so your system stays clean after we leave.

A dryer vent cleaning usually takes about an hour. A whole-home air duct cleaning typically takes 2 to 5 hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of vents. We'll give you a time estimate with your quote.

It depends on the size of your home, the number of vents, and the length of your dryer vent run, so we give you a free quote and a written price before any work starts. Be cautious of very cheap 'whole house' specials: they often clean only part of the system and then add charges on the day.

Yes. Commercial dryers run all day, so lint builds up far faster than at home. Dryer manufacturers recommend inspecting commercial exhaust lines as often as monthly and at least every 6 months, depending on how busy you are. We inspect your vent lines, recommend a schedule that fits your volume, and work around your business hours.
