"I had Hydro Clean out to clean my basement carpet. Dave and Javon arrived on time . They both put booties on to cover their shoes before coming in my home. Dave measured everything out and gave the price before starting the job. They did an amazing job on my carpet. They use something called the butler system. WOW OH WOW my carpets look almost new again and smell clean. I have 3 dogs so I was very happy with the end results. Valerie in scheduling was very professional and set my service up asap. Dave and Javon did a FANTASTIC job on carpets. I will definitely use Hydro Clean 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."
"They responded quickly to an issue with my dryer vent, cleaned and repaired the vent and the price was very reasonable. I would certainly use them again."

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts
Exhaust systems should be inspected annually to prevent efficiency loss and address any arising mechanical issues.
Yes, basic cleaning can be done with vacuum attachments and vent brushes, but hard-to-reach areas are best left to professionals for thoroughness.
There are several common warning signs that indicate your dryer vent may be clogged. If your clothes are taking longer than usual to dry, the vent could be the culprit. Other signs include the exterior of the dryer becoming very hot during operation, or the dryer shutting itself off due to overheating. You might also notice an excess of lint left inside the dryer or in the lint trap after a cycle, see lint building up around the exterior vent opening, or detect unusual or burning odors. A clogged dryer vent is a serious fire hazard, so if you notice any of these signs, you should stop using the dryer and have the vent cleaned immediately.
A burnt rubber smell coming from your clothes after they’ve been in the dryer can be the result of too much lint in the lint trap. This prevents air from circulating properly, and the lint may even come into contact with the heating element. It could also be the result of bigger issues like a faulty thermostat or worn-out dryer belt. A burnt rubber smell can even come from elastic waistbands or rubber decals in your clothes. To remedy this, dry clothes on a lower heat setting or allow them to air dry instead.
Signs that your dryer is about to catch fire include a burning smell or the dryer and the clothes getting hotter than usual. If this happens, turn the dryer off immediately and call a repair professional. Another less urgent sign is that your clothes are taking longer to dry than normal. If this is the case, check the lint trap, vent, and duct to make sure they are all clean. If they are, you may need to call a pro to find the source of the issue.
