We start from behind the dryer. We clean the complete vent run from behind the dryer
clear through to the exhaust on the outside - no matter where it exists, roof or side. We also

How Often do Dryer Vents Need Cleaning?
It is highly suggested to clean vents before they become a hazard. To avoid dryer vent
problems, vents should be cleaned once every one to two years. However, as a safety
precaution, it is best to inspect the vents frequently. The frequency of cleaning a vent often
varies on several factors. The longer the vent, the more cleanings required as the chances
for buildup of lint will increase. Vents with several turns and elbows tend to build up more lint
whereas short and straight vents require less attention as the majority of the lint is able to
escape through the exhaust without trouble.
Most people assume it's the
dryer....
But it's not your dryer, it's
your vent!
