"The 2 techs first showed up after my dryer had died and cleaned the vents (inside - out and also from outside-in) as much as they could but said they needed me to have an operating dryer so that they could make sure everything was pushed out the side vent and airflow was good. They were very knowledgeable and honest which I appreciate when hiring any company without a first hand recommendation from my own friends/relatives first. They rescheduled a follow up appointment after my new dryer was delivered and were here the same morning and finished the cleaning and confirmed that everything was cleaned and working as it should now. I'll definitely hire them again next year and try to keep up an annual cleaning so it doesn't get so clogged next time. Highly recommended."
"Julius did an excellent job with the air duct &dryer vent cleaning. He explained the process & gave tips on how maintain the best air quality for my home. Easy to schedule the appointment. Highly recommend & will use them again!"
"He cleaned the air ducks, dryer vent as well as the gutters. Did an excellent job and accommodated my needs. I called him last minute yet still was able to come and do it after my work for me not to have to take time off. He was very accommodating, the weather was terrible the day he was to come and due to traffic, he was running late but every 30 minutes he called to give me an update of his location and this made me feel at ease."
"Elite Home Services/Safe House Services did a great job with cleaning my vents and dryer. They were very professional and provided much needed education about my vents and what was needed."
"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."

"Kenny the owner was knowledgeable about his trade. My dryer would not dry clothes during winter since the dryer was located in the unheated garage and venting uninsulated. Kenny was able to quickly identify issue. I will recommend him to friends."
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.
Dryer vent cleaning costs around $150 on average, and most homeowners pay between $75 and $350 for the service. There are a few factors that affect your pricing, including the following:
Length of the dryer vent
Whether the vent is rigid or flexible
Accessibility of your dryer vent
Amount of lint needed to remove from the vent
According to the Department of Energy, around 15,000 house fires are started every year from clogged dryer vents. It might seem expensive, but dryer vent cleaning can help you avoid severe house fires, injury, and even death.
Call 911 immediately. If you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket near the laundry room, you can attempt to extinguish the fire, but don’t open or touch the dryer. If you can’t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home’s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn’t any damage.
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.
Yes, basic cleaning can be done with vacuum attachments and vent brushes, but hard-to-reach areas are best left to professionals for thoroughness.
