Clothes taking forever to dry? That’s usually an airflow problem, not a “weak” dryer. When lint, dust, pet hair, and moisture accumulate inside the vent run, air can’t escape fast enough. Heat builds, cycles stretch out, sensors overwork—and your utility bill creeps up. Ductech’s dryer vent duct cleaning restores smooth, safe airflow with friendly techs, clear communication, and options that fit real homes (from short wall runs to roof terminations and condo chases). We keep it simple: show up on time, protect your space, clean the entire path, and verify the result before we leave.
Arrival & prep. We protect floors and cabinetry, confirm power/gas shutoff as needed, and map the vent path so we know exactly where restrictions tend to form (kinks, elbows, long vertical sections, or the termination hood).
Real diagnostics. We take a baseline airflow/pressure reading so you’ll see the before/after improvement, not just a guess.
Source-removal cleaning. Using rotary brushes/whips and a HEPA-contained vacuum, we clean from the lint trap cavity through the transition duct and rigid line to the exterior termination—no “blow and go.”
Hood service. We free stuck dampers, remove nests/debris, and confirm the flap or louvers open fully during a test run. If your cap is outdated or has a screen that traps lint, we’ll recommend a code-compliant replacement.
Transition upgrade (if needed). Thin foil or plastic hoses crush easily and collect lint. We can swap them for a smooth, UL-2158A rated semi-rigid connector with proper clamps and gentle bends to keep airflow high.
Proof & tips. We repeat airflow measurements, share photos, then give you practical upkeep advice tailored to your layout and usage.
We regularly service:
Our methods are eco-friendly by design—no harsh chemicals, just mechanical agitation and HEPA capture. Better airflow means shorter run times, which trims electricity or gas use with every load.
For most homes, plan on every 12 months. If you dry daily, have multiple pets, or your run exceeds ~25 feet with several elbows, aim for every 6–9 months. After your first service, we’ll recommend a personalized interval based on the measured airflow improvement and your layout.
We back our workmanship with a clear service warranty. If we replace components (transition duct, clamps, dampers, or the exterior hood), we use original-spec/manufacturer-approved parts, and those come with a parts warranty. Need help today? We keep same-day slots whenever the schedule allows—ask when you call.
Every vent is different (length, turns, roof vs. wall exit), so we price the job on real conditions—not a bait-and-switch flat rate. You’ll see the total before we start. No mystery add-ons after the fact.

If you’re noticing dust on surfaces soon after cleaning, inconsistent room temps, or allergy flare-ups, pairing dryer vent service with air duct cleaning can make a noticeable difference. We set up containment, protect registers and furnishings, and use negative-pressure equipment to lift and capture settled dust, construction debris, and pollen from supply and return runs. We also inspect accessible trunks and plenums for obvious leaks that waste conditioned air and reduce comfort. Prefer minimal disruption? We can stage room-by-room and time work around your schedule. See scope, methods, and scheduling details here.
Fireplaces and wood stoves build up soot and creosote that can restrict draft and increase fire risk, even with occasional use. Our chimney sweep cleaning covers a top-to-hearth sweep with HEPA capture, a camera-assisted look for cracked tiles, gaps, or loose mortar, and a check of caps, crowns, and dampers so weather and pests stay out. We protect floors with runners, keep the living space dust-free, and leave you with photos plus straightforward repair options if something needs attention. Stay ahead of odor and smoke issues before the cold season returns—details and booking here.
