San Jose Vent Cleaner Service

Local Vent Cleaning in San Jose

“Vent cleaning” shouldn’t mean waving a shop-vac behind the dryer and calling it a day. In real homes, warm, humid air has to travel through a connector, elbows inside the wall or ceiling, and an exterior hood before it leaves the building. Lint, dust, pet hair, and moisture gradually choke that path. The result? Slow-drying loads, a muggy laundry room, and safety sensors that keep shutting the machine down. Ductech’s vent cleaner service is built for San Jose houses, condos, and townhomes. We clean the entire route, verify improvement with airflow readings, and keep the visit tidy with floor protection and HEPA containment. You’ll feel the difference on the very next cycle—and you’ll get it with same-day service when our schedule allows, an eco-friendly process, and a clear service warranty.

What’s included (and why it matters)

• End-to-end cleaning. We clear the lint-trap cavity, the transition connector, the in-wall/ceiling duct, and the exterior hood—so air can actually escape.
• Measured results. Baseline and final airflow/pressure readings show how much restriction we removed. No guesswork.
• Exterior hood service. We free stuck dampers, remove nesting/debris, and confirm smooth open/close during a live test.
• Smart part replacements (optional). If your connector is crushed or your hood is outdated, we can install original-spec/manufacturer-approved parts. Those come with a parts warranty.
• Friendly care tips. We’ll show how to prevent re-kinks, keep the flap moving freely, and space the dryer correctly so the connector doesn’t get flattened again.

Problems our vent cleaner service solves

• Backpressure that forces loads into a second cycle
• Overheating/false shutoffs triggered by tripped high-limit sensors
• Lint dust and odors around the door seal and behind the appliance
• Exterior flaps that barely open—or stick open and invite pests

Our method (thorough, tidy, verified)

1. Protect & assess. Shoe covers and floor runners go down first. We isolate power (and gas, if applicable), then trace the vent route to spot elbows, offsets, and past “creative fixes.”
2. Baseline reading. We record starting airflow/pressure (CFM or Pa) to quantify the blockage.
3. Source-removal cleaning. Rotary brushes/whips agitate lint while a HEPA-contained vacuum captures debris through the full run—no dusty blow-outs.
4. Connector check/upgrade. Thin foil or plastic hoses kink easily; we can swap to a smooth, UL-2158A semi-rigid connector with proper clamps and a gentle radius.
5. Exterior hood reset. We clear mats, paint, or rust, confirm full travel, and recommend a code-compliant backdraft hood (no lint-catching screens) when useful.
6. Proof & plan. Final airflow reading, photos, and a maintenance interval tailored to your layout and usage.

Safety, efficiency, and appliance life—real gains

Clearing the vent lowers fire risk by removing compacted, combustible lint—especially at elbows and the termination. With resistance gone, moisture leaves fast, fabrics dry evenly, and the dryer runs cooler. That’s easier on heating elements, bearings, and control boards—and easier on your utility bill.

Built for San Jose homes (and their quirks)

We routinely handle closet installs that crush connectors, multi-bend vertical runs to roof caps in condos/townhomes, and older houses with tight chases and offset elbows. High-use households (big families, lots of towels, pet blankets) are absolutely in our wheelhouse—we’ll match the service cadence to real-world use.

How often should you schedule?

Most homes: once a year. Daily dryers, pet homes, or long/vertical runs with several elbows: every 6–9 months. After your first visit, we’ll set a data-based interval using your before/after airflow numbers.

Pricing with zero surprises

Every system is different (length, elbow count, roof vs. wall exit). We quote based on actual conditions and you approve before we begin. No mystery add-ons after the fact.

Additional Services — Air Duct Cleaning

Dryer exhaust is only one piece of home airflow. If dust reappears soon after cleaning or rooms feel uneven, your HVAC may be circulating debris inside the air ducts. Our team isolates the system with clean containment, protects registers and furnishings, and uses negative-pressure equipment to pull out settled dust, renovation debris, and pollen from supply and return trunks. We also inspect accessible trunks and plenums for loose connections or obvious leaks that waste conditioned air. Prefer minimal disruption? We can stage room-by-room and schedule around work calls, kids’ naps, or pet needs. For a full outline of methods, timing, and booking options, click here.

Additional Services — Chimney Sweep Cleaning

Fireplaces and wood stoves slowly accumulate soot and creosote along the flue, which restricts draft and raises fire risk—even with light use. Our chimney sweep cleaning includes a careful top-to-hearth sweep with HEPA capture, a visual/camera check for cracked liners or loose mortar, and an inspection of the cap, crown, and damper so weather and pests stay out. We protect floors with runners, keep the living area dust-free, and provide photo documentation with straightforward, budget-friendly recommendations if any repairs would improve safety or performance.
