"replaced long run of duct with rigid type, replaced internal ductwork to dryer plus outside vent cap. Very pleased with service. But pricing was based on a catalog of fixed prices for various parts of the project, with overlapping scope - had to negotiate the total price so as not to pay twice for same components. Seemed expensive but high quality."
"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."
"I have used Mackâ s services for power washing and dryer vent cleaning. Mack is meticulous with his work, professional, courteous and has a cheery disposition. His prices are very fair, and heâ s easy to contact to set up appointments for work that needs to be done. I would highly recommend Mack!"
"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."
"From first conversation till hiring their service I felt confident on my decision. Lois and Derek were professional, great to deal with, came prepared to give me an excellent job. They were available same day called. They identified the problem, cleaned the dryer duct vent and confirmed no further problems. Highly recommend"
"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
If your dryer is wet inside, it could be due to a poorly designed ventilation system. This happens more frequently during the hotter months as heat is trapped inside the vent duct. Broken or failing seams and seals on the vent pipe can also allow warm air to enter. If changing the ventilation is not an option, consider insulating your vent pipes to reduce moisture capturing.
Failing to open your flue can lead to serious health hazards if you start a fire because the smoke will back up into your home. Breathing fire smoke, even in relatively small quantities, is bad for human lungs, and smoke can also irritate your nasal passages and eyes. Furthermore, smoke can cause damage to your interior fixtures and furnishings, at the very least leaving an unpleasant smoky smell for a long time. In short: If your flue isn’t open (or you’re not sure if it is or not), don’t start a fire to find out!
There are a few things you can look out for that indicate it’s time to clean your dryer vent, including the following:
It has been a year or more since the last professional cleaning.
Your clothes are taking longer to dry than usual.
Your clothes smell musty or burnt when they come out of the dryer.
You see lint building up around the outside dryer vent cap.
Your laundry room is unusually hot.
Your dryer is unusually hot to the touch during operation.
You notice a kink in or damage to the vent.
While maintaining a clean dryer vent is crucial for your household’s safety, a professional dryer vent cleaning service will do the trick, and replacing the vent isn’t usually necessary. Provided you don’t see any kinks in your vent or damage to the exterior, a cleaning will maintain your home’s safety and will cost you less than a full replacement. You’ll spend an average of $150 on dryer vent cleaning, while a replacement will cost about $225, and both will yield more or less the same result.
Your dryer vent hose should be as straight as you can possibly get it. A straight vent means less lint buildup in the hose. If the hose has a lot of bends and turns, it’s much easier and much more likely for lint to get stuck along the line, meaning you’ll have to clean it out a lot more often to decrease the risk of a total blockage or a fire.
