Call us or click above to schedule your dryer vent cleaning and avoid one of the major causes of residential fires in the United States. Quality Comfort Home Services provides professional dryer vent cleaning for residential homes and small commercial businesses. We can clean dryer vents that vent out up to two stories high. We can also tackle any dryer vent cleaning in an apartment or condo. Protect your home by having your dryer vent cleaned regularly.
Cleaning your dryer vent will make your home safer from house fires and increase your dryer’s efficiency at the same time. Failure to clean the dryer is the leading cause of home dryer fires (34%). (FEMA)
Cleaning your dryer vent may seem so obvious and easy, but how many of us really clean it as often as we should? Even when we do clean, a brush alone simply cannot reach all of the lint and other debris that may be hiding in your dryer line. Dryer duct lines can reach up to 35 feet!
If your dryer is starting to lose its efficiency, then a clog in the dryer duct may be the culprit and a cleaning can help.
Our Process
Quality Comfort cleans your dryer vent line from the outside in. We use one or both of two types of different systems to complete your vent cleaning depending upon the setup of your dryer vent. The first system is compressed air with a specific fitting while the other is a powered rotary brush. Both of these cleaning processes do a thorough job and clean the entire line that a standard DIY dryer vent kit may not be able to reach well, especially if your dryer line twists and turns. If there are multiple turns or your vent is especially long, then the compressed air will work to push all the debris from the turns.
Here is what you can expect during your dryer vent cleaning:
We will perform a pre-clean airflow test. This tells us how quickly your dryer is venting out air.
Then, we will turn your dryer on and use the brush or compressed air system from the outside all the way inside. We do multiple times until the vent line is clean and no more debris is found
Next, we will perform a post-clean air flow test. This will allow us to see the improvement in the air flow in your dryer vent that we have accomplished from the dryer vent cleaning.
During your clean we will also be checking your dryer vent termination for any damage.
Finally, we will clean up and leave your home just as we found it!
All of this information will be part of your post cleaning report as well that will be emailed to you after completion of your dryer vent cleaning.
For second-story homes, condos, or other dryer vents that may be difficult to access, we can reach up to 30 feet to clean your dryer vent line. If you have a patio or other outside access to the dryer vent, we can use this to access your line as well.
How Often Should I Clean My Dryer Vent?
The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) recommends that the average home should have their dryer duct cleaned at least once a year. Quality Comfort also recommends having your home or business’ dryer vents cleaned once or twice a year depending on the length of your dryer vent line and the frequency in which you use the dryer. For businesses such as salons and spas that use a large amount of towels you may need your dryer vent cleaned more often due to utilizing the dryer more frequently. This will help prevent clogs in the line and ensure your dryer runs at peak efficiency, minimizing the time it takes to dry each load.
Can’t I Clean My Own Dryer Vent?
Dryer vent cleaning kits that contain brushes are readily available in retail stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot. Make sure you know the length of your dryer vent before attempting a DIY cleaning. Dryer vent lines can actually measure up to 35 feet and many kits cannot reach the entire length. A brush will also not be able to maneuver any twists or turns if not used with a drill attachment or done properly. Being able to test the airflow is especially helpful in this process. This is why Quality Comfort Home Services recommends professional dryer vent cleaning services to ensure your dryer is free of debris and safe to operate. At Quality Comfort, we’ve seen some interesting things in dryer vents that you’d never know were there – including bird nests and tennis balls! It’s always safest to have the dryer duct thoroughly checked all the way through.

Animal Proof Dryer Vent Covers
Most homes are built with the old plastic louvered dryer vent cover design. These types of dryer vent covers do not hold up well to the elements and often one of the louvers eventually erodes or breaks due to UV damage. The other issue with these types of caps is that they are easily accessible to birds, mice, bugs, etc. Many of our dryer vent cleaning calls are to remove birds’ nests from dryer vent lines. All of our dryer vent termination cover replacements are animal proof and feature a removable bird and rodent guard. They are durable and weather-resistant to last through the changing weather for years to come. The vent closure is also designed for optimum airflow.
