The Lint Trap Catches A Fraction. The Rest Is In The Vent, And It Has Been Building Since Day One.
Dryer vent cleaning is the one fire-safety job in a house that almost nobody does, because the problem is inside a duct nobody can see. We pull the dryer, clear the entire run from the outside in, and confirm the air is actually leaving your house. One flat price, set by where the vent exits — not by how long it is.
Two Prices. Where The Vent Exits Decides Which One.
Every dryer vent in the valley ends in one of two places: a cap on the side of the house, or a cap on the roof. That is the only thing that changes the price. Not the length of the run, not the number of elbows, not the age of the house, not the city.
A roof run takes longer — we get on the roof to clear the termination and work the attic climb from both ends — and the price reflects that. Nothing else does. If you are not sure which one you have, book it and we confirm on arrival; the price does not change once we are there.
This Is Not A Scare Tactic. It Is The Leading Cause.
The National Fire Protection Association's research into home fires involving clothes dryers and washing machines found "failure to clean" was the leading factor at 31%. The item most often ignited first was dust, fiber or lint, at 27%. About two out of three of these fires involved electric dryers.
It is one of the few household fire risks a single annual visit removes almost entirely. The vent either has lint in it or it does not.

The Whole Run, Not The Reachable Part
How A Restricted Vent Tells You
- Clothes still damp after a full cycleThe single most common sign. The dryer is running against a blocked line.
- Two or three cycles per loadSame problem, further along. Your power bill is paying for it.
- The dryer or the laundry room is hot to the touchHeat that should be leaving the house is staying in the machine.
- A burning or dusty smell while it runsLint near the heating element. Stop using the dryer and book it.
- No air at the outside cap while the dryer runsGo outside and check. If there is no steady push of warm air, the run is restricted.

Once A Year Is The Standard. Some Homes Need More.
Annual cleaning matches standard fire-safety guidance for exhaust vent inspection, and it is separate from emptying the lint trap after every load. Every home in the valley should be on that schedule.
Treat annual as a maximum, not a target, if you have a long or roof-vented run, pets that shed, a large household running loads daily, or work clothes that bring field dust and hay home with them. Those vents restrict faster.

Pulling the dryer out, cleaning behind it, inspecting the transition hose and replacing it free if it needs it, brushing and vacuuming the full run from the exterior cap to the dryer, clearing the cap and making sure the flap closes, and confirming airflow before we leave. Three month warranty on all of it. No per-foot charge, no add-ons.
Walk around the outside of the house near the laundry room and look for a 4-inch cap with a flap. If it is on a wall, that is $119. If there is nothing on the walls, it is on the roof and that is $149. If you are not sure, book it — we confirm on arrival and the price does not change.
No. Length, elbows and the age of the house do not change the price. Only where it exits.
We replace it at no additional cost as part of the visit. A crushed, kinked, or old foil-flex hose restricts airflow on its own, and it is the most common single problem we find behind a dryer.
Yes, and it drops the dryer vent to $49. Duct cleaning is $0.30 per square foot. Details on air duct cleaning →
