Dryers need clear, open vents. Hot, moist air must leave the home without resistance. Lint blocks that path. Elbows trap fibers. Exterior hoods stick. Vertical roof runs add drag. The result is slow laundry and extra heat. Ductech fixes that with home dryer vent cleaning tailored for San Carlos houses, condos, and townhomes. We protect floors. We clean the entire route. We measure airflow before and after. We show photos. We keep the visit tidy. Friendly techs. Clear steps. Real results.
Laundry piling up? Ask for same-day service. Our workmanship is covered by a clear service warranty. Any parts we replace are manufacturer-approved/original-spec and include a parts warranty. We use mechanical cleaning and HEPA containment. No harsh chemicals by default. The process is eco-friendly and low-odor.
White Oaks closets can crush connectors behind tight machines. Howard Park and El Sereno floorplans often include long ceiling runs. San Carlos Hills homes frequently terminate at the roof. Downtown condos may limit space around stacked units. We bring low-profile fittings and flexible tools. We stage noise around naps and calls. We protect finishes and keep paths safe. We leave the area clean.
Most homes: every 12 months.
Daily laundry, multiple pets, or long multi-bend runs: every 6–9 months.
After remodels or a new dryer install: schedule a check and baseline test.
We set a practical cadence after your first visit.
Pricing that makes sense
Every vent path is different. Length, elbow count, and roof vs. wall termination matter. We inspect first. We give a clear quote. You approve before we start. No surprise add-ons later. If we discover a new issue mid-visit, we pause, show photos, and discuss options.
Simple prep and aftercare
Before we arrive: pull the dryer forward a few inches if you can. Don’t run a cycle for 2–3 hours beforehand. Leave access notes if the exterior hood is behind a locked gate.
Aftercare: clean the lint screen every load. Keep a gentle curve on the connector. Leave space behind the dryer so the duct isn’t crushed. Check the outside flap occasionally; it should open fully during a cycle and close fully when off.
We serve the entire City of San Carlos: 94070, 94071
Dryer exhaust is only one piece of home airflow. If dust returns quickly, or rooms feel uneven, your HVAC ducts may be loaded. Our air duct cleaning restores flow through supply and return runs across the home. We begin with a plan and clean containment. We set negative pressure at the air handler. Then we agitate debris with rotary brushes or air whips and draw everything into a HEPA collector. We remove and wash grilles. We tidy accessible plenums we open. We avoid harsh chemicals by default. On request, we can apply a low-odor, eco-friendly sanitizer to help with odors. Most homes benefit every 2–3 years; pet homes or allergy concerns often choose 18–24 months. Pairing duct cleaning with dryer vent service resets comfort and efficiency in one visit. Learn more here.
A clear chimney protects your living room. Soot and creosote reduce draft and raise fire risk. Our chimney sweep cleaning covers the main flue, smoke chamber, and smoke shelf. We free sticky dampers and check cap and crown from safe access. We capture debris with HEPA filtration and keep the hearth tidy. You get photos and simple notes plus burn tips for cleaner fires. Use seasoned wood. Warm the flue at start-up. Those habits slow buildup and odors. Most homes do well with a yearly sweep; frequent burning may need every 6–12 months. Many San Carlos customers pair a sweep with dryer vent cleaning for a full safety reset before the cool season. Details are here.
How long does a typical cleaning take?
Most visits take 45–90 minutes. Long runs, roof exits, stacked units, or heavy buildup can take longer. We’ll confirm timing on arrival.
Will you need to go on the roof?
Only if the vent terminates at a roof cap and safe access is available. Many San Carlos Hills homes use roof exits. We bring the right safety gear.
Do you use chemicals?
No. Our method is mechanical agitation plus HEPA capture. It’s low-odor and eco-friendly. If sanitizing is requested, we use a low-odor product.
Can you replace a crushed or unsafe connector?
Yes. We stock UL-2158A semi-rigid connectors, code-compliant hoods, and proper clamps. Parts are original-spec and include a parts warranty.
What will I notice after cleaning?
Shorter cycles, stronger exterior airflow, and less heat in the laundry room. You may also notice fewer lint odors and less lint dust around the door seal.
How do I know when to rebook?
If cycles stretch again, if the hood flap stops opening fully, or if the dryer shows an airflow alert, it’s time. High-use homes often rebook at 6–9 months.
