Mountain View Home Dryer Vent Cleaning

Local Dryer Vent Service in Mountain View

Dryers need a clear path to push hot air outside. When the vent clogs, clothes take forever to dry, the laundry room gets humid, and energy bills rise. Worse, lint inside ducts is a fire hazard. Ductech provides home dryer vent cleaning in Mountain View to solve these issues quickly and safely. We protect your floors, capture lint with HEPA vacuums, and show you before/after results. Our service comes with a warranty, and any parts we replace are original-spec with a parts warranty. Same-day visits are often available.

Why dryer vent cleaning matters

• Fire prevention. Lint is flammable; cleaning reduces risk.
• Faster laundry. One cycle instead of two saves time.
• Lower costs. Shorter cycles mean lower energy bills.
• Appliance care. Less strain helps dryers last longer.
• Fresh air. No more musty laundry odors.

Our process

1. Inspect. We trace the duct route and check the outside flap.
2. Baseline airflow. We measure pressure or flow before cleaning.
3. Source removal. Rotary brushes and air whips loosen lint while HEPA vacuums collect it.
4. Exterior service. We free stuck dampers and confirm flap travel.
5. Optional upgrades. Replace crushed or unsafe foil ducts with UL-2158A semi-rigid connectors and code-compliant hoods.
6. Proof. Final airflow test and photos provided.

Additional Services — Air Duct Cleaning

HVAC ducts also collect dust and allergens over time. Our air duct cleaning clears supply trunks, return lines, and registers. We set negative pressure, use rotary brushes, and capture debris with HEPA systems. No harsh chemicals are used unless you request a low-odor, eco-friendly sanitizer. Most homes benefit every 2–3 years; with pets or allergies, every 18–24 months. More details are here.

Additional Services — Chimney Sweep Cleaning

Fireplaces add comfort but create soot and creosote that block airflow. Our chimney sweep cleaning brushes the flue, vacuums the smoke chamber and shelf, and checks the cap and damper. All debris is contained with HEPA vacuums. You get photo proof and burn tips: use seasoned wood, open the damper fully, and warm the flue with kindling. Most homes in Mountain View schedule sweeping once a year; frequent burning may require every 6–12 months. Learn more here.
