Why Dryer Vent Cleaning Matters
When your dryer vent is obstructed, hot, moist air can’t escape properly. This makes your dryer work harder and longer to dry clothes, increasing wear and tear on your appliance, and your utility bill. More importantly, lint buildup is one of the leading causes of house fires across North America.
Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Cleaning
Clothes take too long to dry or remain damp
The dryer feels unusually hot during operation
Burning smell while the dryer is running
Lint buildup around the dryer door or vent exit

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a professional cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
It’s recommended to clean your dryer vent at least once a year. If you use your dryer frequently or have pets, cleaning it every 6 months is ideal.
A clogged dryer vent can lead to overheating, longer drying times, higher energy bills, and in worst cases, it increases the risk of house fires due to trapped lint.
Common signs include clothes taking too long to dry, a burning smell during operation, excessive lint behind the dryer, or the dryer feeling hot to the touch.
You can clean the lint trap and parts of the vent, but for a thorough and safe cleaning—especially in long or complex duct systems—it’s best to hire a professional.
Most professional cleanings take about 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the length of the vent and the amount of buildup.
