• IT’S TRUE— dryers start more residential fires than any other appliance!

    The Consumer Products Safety Commission estimates that there are over 24,000 dryer fires each year in the United States, causing over $96 million in property damages. When lint builds up in dryer vents, the dryer motor has to labor harder, and can overheat, igniting the lint!

    Do you want your appliance to work more efficiently? If it’s taking longer than usual to dry your clothes, it’s time to get your dryer vent cleaned out!


    How do we clean dryer vents?  

    We perform two types of cleaning: "Routine Cleaning"and "Problem Cleaning".



    Routine Cleaning: All dryer vents are cleaned from the outside using a high pressure, compressed air tool - a jet-snake. The jet-snake shoots down the vent like a rocket, blasting loose lint, debris, and nests, sending it to the outside, where we catch it in a special bag. It will normally turn 2 or 3 corners, cleaning to the flexible hose behind the dryer. No lint enters the dryer or residence. "Routine cleaning" is usually performed on large quantities of vents at apartments and condominiums.

    Problem Cleaning is performed when an individual dryer is not drying clothes fast enough. We disconnect and pull the dryer out, install a large blower on the vent, and blow, brush, vacuum and/or dismantle - whatever it takes to get the vent clean! Commercial dryers in central laundry rooms are also cleaned this way.
