How to clean a dryer vent?

 

Let’s start and talk about how NOT to clean your dryer vent. Many homeowners buy the rods from home improvement stores and take upon themselves the job which 90% of the time ends up in a BIG mess. We often have to repair damaged ductwork and remove broken rods that got stuck inside. This cleaning process is done by our company using extremely durable commercial equipment. We always start with a thorough inspection to make sure your ductwork is properly intact before we start any cleaning. After that depending on where your dryer vent exhaust is we tackle the job using different strategies. The cleaning procedures are never the same every home gets its own private treatment. The dryer vent exhausts either vent on the roof, into the crawlspace then to the side of the house, ductwork often is in-between floors and walls, or goes into the roof and to the side of the house on a higher level. We tackle these jobs with different methods sometimes the cleaning is done from the inside, sometimes from the outside, sometimes from the attic or the crawlspace every house is different. The most important part of the cleaning is to clear the end of the ductwork and ensure that all the air blowing out of your dryer is escaping the ductwork with maximum airflow. We use both rotary brushes and air compressors with special industrial hose attachments to remove all the lint in your system. After the cleaning we will make sure that your laundry room is sparkling clean and there are no major lint residues left behind on the outside.
