How we clean a dryer vent
From the back of the dryer to the outside, then a measurement. Choose a step to see what we do.
At the dryer
Method
We start at the connection on the back of the dryer and clean the duct from there.
Equipment
Rotary brush and vacuum.
We avoid
Leaving lint in your laundry room.
Along the duct
Method
Rotary brushes loosen the lint along the whole duct while the vacuum pulls it out, so it does not end up in your home.
Equipment
Rotary brushes and suction equipment.
We avoid
Cleaning only the part of the duct within reach.
At the exit
Method
We clean up to the exit outside, on a wall or on the roof, including gooseneck roof exits on multi-story homes.
Equipment
Rotary brush, roof access when the vent exits there.
We avoid
Stopping short of the exit.
Airflow check
Method
We measure the airflow at the exit before and after the cleaning.
Equipment
Anemometer.
We avoid
Calling the job done without measuring.

Why dryer vents clog in Tampa Bay homes
Lint that gets past the dryer filter collects inside the duct, and long runs and damp air make it worse.
Lint that never leaves
Lint that gets past the filter builds up inside the duct. Failure to clean was the leading factor in home clothes dryer fires from 2018 to 2020, at 31%, according to the U.S. Fire Administration.
Rotary brushes loosen the lint along the whole duct while the vacuum pulls it out.
Long runs to the roof
In many two-story homes the duct runs from the laundry room up through the attic to a vent on the roof. The longer the run, the more lint it holds.
We clean the whole duct up to the roof exit and check it with an inspection camera before and after, as on our roof-exit jobs in South Tampa.
Crushed foil ducts
The flexible foil duct behind the dryer gets crushed when the dryer is pushed back, and a kink traps lint and slows the air.
We move the dryer out, clean the connection and tell you if a section is crushed or loose before any repair.
Signs your dryer vent needs cleaning
Clothes that need more than one cycle to dry, a laundry room that gets hot, a dryer that shuts off before the end of a cycle, lint collecting around the vent outside, or a vent flap that barely opens while the dryer runs. Any of these usually means the duct is holding lint. If you smell something burning, stop using the dryer until the vent is checked.
How often to clean a dryer vent
We recommend at least once a year. Busy households, long ducts and vents that exit on the roof can need it more often.
Where we clean dryer vents
Homes across Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties. We have cleaned ducts that run from the laundry room up through the roof in South Tampa, a duct lined with lint from end to end in Land O’ Lakes, and dryer vents in Plant City, St. Petersburg and New Port Richey.
What sets the price
Dryer vent cleaning is priced per job, mainly by the length of the duct and where it exits.
Where the vent exits
A wall exit near the laundry room is quicker than a roof exit, which needs ladder work and roof access.
Length of the duct
Long runs through the attic or between floors take more time.
How blocked it is
A badly blocked duct may need extra equipment; we tell you before any extra work.
Repairs
A crushed, loose or disconnected duct is quoted before we fix it.

Outside Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties, a travel fee of about $30, depending on the miles.

Questions about dryer vent cleaning in Tampa
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
We recommend at least once a year, and more often for busy households or long ducts that run to the roof.
How do I know my dryer vent is clogged?
Clothes take longer to dry, the dryer or the laundry room gets hot, lint gathers around the vent outside, or the vent flap barely opens while the dryer runs. If you smell burning, stop using the dryer until the vent is checked.
Do you clean vents that exit through the roof?
Yes. We clean the full duct up to the roof exit. If the job needs roof access, repairs or extra equipment for a severe blockage, we tell you before any work starts.
Do you measure the airflow?
Yes. We measure the airflow at the exit with an anemometer before and after the cleaning, and we check the duct with an inspection camera.
Do you move the dryer?
Yes. We move the dryer out to clean the connection behind it and put it back when we finish.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost?
It depends mainly on the length of the duct and whether it exits on a wall or on the roof. The estimate is free, the minimum is $125 per visit, and we confirm the final price before any work starts.
Do you clean commercial dryer vents?
No. Dryer vent cleaning is a residential service.
