There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—every home and system is different. We typically recommend having your dryer vent cleaned every 1 to 2 years, depending on factors like how often you use your dryer, how your ducting is set up, and whether you have pets or a larger household.

In higher-use situations, or if your setup is more complex, cleaning yearly may be necessary to maintain airflow and reduce fire risk. We’re always happy to provide a free inspection to help determine what’s right for your setup.

If your clothes are taking longer to dry, your dryer feels unusually hot, or you notice a musty smell or lint around the vent opening, those are all warning signs.

Even if you haven’t noticed anything unusual, if it’s been more than 3 years, it’s a good idea to have the system checked. There’s often much more happening inside the vent than you can see from the outside—and a quick inspection can give you peace of mind.

Basic upkeep like removing lint from the trap or vacuuming behind the dryer is helpful. But unless you have the right tools to access the entire duct system—and know how to safely dismantle and clean the dryer’s internal components—you’re likely to miss the worst of it.

There’s a reason we do what we do. Our team uses professional equipment and inspection cameras to thoroughly clean vents from start to finish, ensuring your system is safe, efficient, and fully cleared of hidden blockages.

Absolutely. We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses throughout Erie County and surrounding areas.

In fact, multi-unit buildings—like apartments, condos, or townhomes—are often the most in need of professional service. Even if each unit has its own dryer, the ductwork may connect behind the walls or into a shared vent system. That means other people’s dryers can impact your airflow or safety, even if you’re doing everything right.

We’re experienced in both individual and shared systems and know what to look for in complex setups.

Our cleanings go beyond just clearing lint. We start by inspecting the full duct system, then remove all lint, hair, and debris using professional tools. We also check airflow, ensure the outside vent cap is functioning properly, and provide before-and-after photos so you can see the results.

We also assess the integrity of the ductwork to make sure it’s up to code, check for any surrounding issues, and confirm that the system is venting out in the safest and most efficient way possible.

We charge a flat rate for our dryer vent cleanings, regardless of duct length. We believe in clear, honest pricing—you’ll know the cost up front when you book your appointment.

If the technician finds anything additional on-site, they'll show you exactly what they're seeing—either in person or with photos—and clearly explain what’s needed and what it would cost before any work is done.

There are no surprise charges, and we only accept payment once the job is complete and you’re satisfied.
