"Matt, with DVW checked in and showed up at the designated appointment time. He took his time to assess the vent access points and even took apart some of the piping in the basement to ensure the full length of the vent was cleaned. He had a little problem with his shop vac so you guys should buy him a new one, but no worries, everything was cleaned up and put back together perfectly. No more errors showing up on our dryer alerts so we feel the job was done spot on and we appreciate the extra coupon the tacked on to their already low prices after we compared them to other vent cleaning services for our area."
"My carpet looks much better than it did before, however I do have a couple of complaints. First let me start with the positives. They arrived right on time. I was given a window of 1-4 and they came at 1. The two technicians were so nice and so professional in their behavior and their communication. They put on shoe covers before they went upstairs (where the carpet is), and they made sure to take them off every time they went outside, and put them back on every time they came back in. I really appreciate that. The lead technician measured and gave me an estimate. There is one price per square foot for the room, and another price for the edges of the carpet. The price for the edges is triple the price for the rest of the room. They worked quickly and diligently. They moved all of the furniture around, even the heavy stuff, and cleaned behind everything. They left the furniture on hard foam risers to lift it off of the carpet. I don’t know how I’m supposed to lift the heavy dresser and bed to get the risers out but I will figure it out. When they were done the lead technician asked me if I wanted to check out their work but the carpet was still wet so I just took a glance up the steps and said it looks good so I’ll trust that the rest looks good too. When I finally went upstairs the rest of the carpet did in fact look good. Once it dried I noticed that there was a small stain that they didn’t get out but I can spot clean that. Also, there were a few little clumps left behind along the edges of the carpet and the stairs where the technician hand-scrubbed it but I guess all of the dirt he worked up didn’t get sucked up by the machine. My biggest problems are not with the carpet. So first of all, there was a disgusting clump of hair and dirt ON MY BED. It certainly wasn’t there before and I don’t know where it came from but I really just wish it wasn’t on my bed of all places. Also, there were little blue towels left on the bed that do not belong to me. I just don’t know why all this stuff was on my bed. There are multiple dressers and nightstands in the room. Why would they place their towels on the bed?? The carpets were clean but then I felt that my comforter was dirty and I had to wash it. Furthermore, there was something in one of my drawers that was out of the drawer when they finished. I am assuming that it fell out somehow when they were moving the furniture and they just left it out instead of putting it back, leaving me to wonder about it. Perhaps I could have asked the technician about all of that if I did a walk through with him, but I didn’t so I will take responsibility for that. Just a warning, do a walk through to make sure EVERYTHING looks kosher. However, some of these things I would not have seen until the carpet dried. A couple more things. The chemical smell was overwhelming and it made me sick. It turned my stomach and not in a figurative way. However, it is my fault for not opening the windows prior to the cleaning. After opening the windows and letting the house air out for 24 hours it was fine. This was the first time I got my carpets cleaned so I know for next time. Also after it dried, the rug felt kinda greasy, like there was still soap in it and it could use one more rinse. I suspect that may be normal though? Anyway the sticky, greasy soap feeling underfoot is getting better with time."
"Excellent service! Avraham and Angel were professional, thorough, and courteous. They cleaned our dryer vent, air ducts, and heater, and also installed a UV light. They took before-and-after photos so we could clearly see the results, which was greatly appreciated. They did an excellent job and left everything clean when they finished. Highly recommend!"
"Vaccumed ducts at each return and delivery vent. Only one very high return was missed. Santizer fog placed in returns and thru the house. Dryer vent cleaned from outside. Before photos shown for a few vents but no after photos provided."
"Damien did an outstanding job cleaning the air ducts, furnace, and dryer vent in our home. He was prompt, professional, and fairly priced. I appreciated him explaining the process as well. We will definitely use Macks Home Services again!"
"Our electric clothes dryer blew a thermal fuse because it got too hot. Fixed that but suspected a dryer duct blockage caused the high temperature. Found Chimney Masters through Angi. Requested quote. Good communication and scheduling process. Not cheap but reasonable price for the work done clearing out a 28 ft dryer vent that exists above the second story. Reasonable enough to do on their recommended every other year schedule. The cleaning made a mess outside but they cleaned everything up. They even reattached the dryer with a new flex duct. Would hire again."
"I liked the fact that they did the vent cleaning from the outside so I didn't have to worry about making space in the laundry room so they could get to the dryer. My only complaint is that it took them a while to get to me, even though I said I needed it done quickly. I had to call twice to get the job moved up, but I am happy with the work."
"The job include chimney inspection, repair and cleaning. Al was very professional. He was thorogh with explaining each step of repairs, very courteous, excellent job with clean up. I highly recommend Chimney and Duct Experts and esoecially AL."
"Marvin was knowledgeable and thorough in explaining everything that he was going to do for us for dryer vent cleaning. We would recommend him to others."

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts
Depending on how much you use it, your dryer should be disinfected about every six to 12 months, especially if you see frequent buildup of lint or evidence of stains from fabric bleeding or ink.
Other signs you should sanitize your dryer more often are overheating, improper drying, excessive humidity, or if you notice a strange odor when it’s running.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, dryers and washing machines cause over 15,000 fires a year, with dryers causing about 92 percent of those fires. Because dryer fires are more common than you might think, it’s important to clear the lint trap regularly and have annual dryer vent cleanings.
In a ventless dryer, lint it collected in a lint filter found inside the door or dryer drum. Vented dryers have this same lint filter, but in a ventless dryer you’ll need to stay on top of cleaning the lint filter after every wash. This is a common best practice, regardless of your dryer vent type.
If you're dealing with an odor in your dryer that transfers onto your clothes and linens, here's what you can do: start by cleaning the lint trap and drum with warm soapy water. Then wipe down the interior using a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar to eliminate any lingering odors.
To get rid of odors you can try this method: take a cloth soaked in vinegar and put it inside the dryer. Run the dryer on a heat setting for 15 minutes. Afterward, make sure to dry the drum by running it with some towels. This technique helps eliminate any smells and leaves your dryer smelling nice and fresh.
If the odors remain, you may need to sanitize your dryer or call in a professional house cleaner to handle the job.
The frequency of cleaning your dryer depends on how often you use it. For regular households, it is recommended to clean the lint trap after each load of laundry. Additionally, thorough cleaning of the dryer—lint trap, drum, and exterior—should be done every few months. It's important to pay attention to the vent system as well. Ideally, it should be cleaned at least once a year, or six months if your dryer takes care of huge loads often, or more frequently if you notice reduced drying efficiency.
