Dryer Vent Cleaning

A short line that causes long problems when it clogs.

A blocked or restricted dryer vent is more than a maintenance issue. Lint buildup and reduced exhaust airflow can increase fire risk, trap heat and moisture, and force the dryer to run longer or through multiple cycles. That reduces drying performance and can increase electricity or gas consumption — and utility costs — depending on the appliance. Home Remedies cleans the full accessible vent run, checks the termination, and verifies airflow so the system can exhaust properly and operate more efficiently.

Scope of work

  • Cleaning of the full accessible vent run from appliance to termination
  • Exterior termination and damper inspection and cleaning
  • Lint and debris removal with contained collection
  • Airflow observation before and after
