Tasks Not Typically Included
Vent cleaning scope depends on run length, how restricted the duct is, and how long it's been since the last clean. This covers what's typically outside scope, but reach out before booking if you want to confirm your vent setup is straightforward.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Questions
Homeowners ask us these questions about dryer vent cleaning before scheduling.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost?
Dryer vent cleaning starts at $125 for standard single-story runs. Pricing ranges to $175 or more for long runs, roof terminations, or systems requiring partial disassembly. Free estimates provided.
How often should vents be cleaned?
Annual cleaning is the minimum recommendation for most households. Homes doing more than 5 loads per week, or with long duct runs, benefit from cleaning every 6 months to maintain safe airflow.
How do I know if my vent needs cleaning?
Signs include clothes taking 2 or more cycles to dry, the dryer running hot to the touch, a burning smell during operation, or visible lint around the exterior vent hood. Any of these means the vent needs attention.
Can you clean vents that go to the roof?
Yes, I clean all vent configurations including roof terminations on single and two-story homes. Roof vents take longer and require safe ladder setup, which is factored into the estimate.
What if the vent is damaged?
I photograph any damage found and provide a written recommendation. Crushed flexible duct, disconnected joints behind walls, and damaged exterior hoods are the most common issues I find.

Dryer vent cleaning removes the lint buildup that accumulates inside the flexible duct, rigid metal duct, and exterior termination cap that carry hot moist air from the dryer to the outside of the house. Lint is highly flammable, and clogged dryer vents are one of the leading causes of residential structure fires in the United States according to the NFPA. The risk is higher with longer duct runs, vents with multiple bends, flexible foil or plastic ducts rather than rigid metal, and vents that terminate in a location prone to birds or pests building nests in the cap opening.
In the Twin Cities east metro, dryer vent cleaning is recommended annually for most households and more frequently for high-use applications like large families, allergy sufferers using heavy bedding regularly, or rental properties with multiple tenants. Signs that cleaning is overdue include longer drying times, a hot exterior duct during operation, the smell of burning lint, and visible lint accumulation around the exterior cap. A thorough cleaning also includes inspecting the duct material condition, confirming the exterior cap damper opens and closes properly, and flagging any sections of flexible duct that should be replaced with rigid metal to reduce future buildup and fire risk.
