According to the U.S. Fire Administration, clothes dryers are responsible for nearly 3,000 residential fires every year — and the leading cause is failure to clean lint buildup from the dryer vent. What seems like a minor maintenance issue can quickly become a serious safety hazard, putting your family and property at risk.
At AirDuctVet, our certified technicians provide thorough, professional dryer vent cleaning that protects your home, extends the life of your dryer, and dramatically improves drying performance. We don't just clean the lint trap — we clean the entire vent line from the dryer to the outside exhaust, removing every bit of accumulated lint, dust, and debris.

Every load of laundry your dryer processes sheds tiny fibers that get trapped in your lint screen — but a significant portion travels deeper into the vent line and accumulates over time. This buildup creates multiple serious problems:
Watch for these common indicators that your dryer vent is overdue for a professional cleaning:
Clothes take significantly longer to dry than they used to — sometimes requiring two or more cycles to fully dry a single load.
The laundry room feels excessively hot or humid while the dryer is running, indicating heat and moisture aren't being properly exhausted.
You smell a burning odor when running the dryer — this could indicate lint trapped near the heating element.
Visible lint accumulates around the exterior vent opening or you notice lint inside the laundry room beyond just the lint trap.
The dryer feels very hot to the touch on the outside surface during or after operation.
It's been over a year since your last professional dryer vent cleaning.
We use a comprehensive, methodical approach that ensures every inch of your dryer vent is thoroughly cleaned:
Most homeowners can expect to pay between $100 and $200 for a standard dryer vent cleaning. The actual cost depends on factors like vent length, accessibility (especially for roof-vented dryers or upper-floor units), the level of lint buildup, and whether any repairs or replacements are needed for damaged ductwork.
Homes with complex vent configurations, second-story or roof-vented dryers, or extreme lint buildup may cost slightly more — typically up to $300. We always provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and we offer significant discounts when you bundle dryer vent cleaning with air duct cleaning during the same visit.
The U.S. Fire Administration and most appliance manufacturers recommend professional dryer vent cleaning at least once per year. However, certain situations call for more frequent cleaning:
