"I used Carolina Ductmasters 3 years ago and had a good experience. This time, however, was much different. The two guys were at my house for 50 minutes total. That is from the time they stepped out of the van until they were pulling out of the driveway. I have the Ring doorbell videos to corroborate. My house is 3100 SF. When I got home from work, I checked just (4) of the ducts and one of the ones that I checked is shown in the attached photo after it was supposedly cleaned. At this point, I stopped looking so that I could have them come back and fix the issue. I called to let them know that some of the ducts were not cleaned properly and the lady who answered was very nice and apologetic and scheduled them to come back. They did not clean any of the diffusers. My wife took them all off and cleaned them herself. When they came back, they were literally at my house for 7 minutes total. Again, 3100 SF and all he did was stick his arm down in the one duct that my wife showed him as far as he could reach and wiped it out. Nothing more. They didn't even bother vacuuming it out again. I took the cover off of the unit and there was mold all over inside, but they had said it was clean, so I just cleaned it myself. I really feel like they did a good job 3 years ago and I even recommended them to someone else. I do not recommend these guys at all anymore. I think they were behind on their schedule and tried to catch up on my house. When they came back out, they seemed mad that I had called them back, so they didn't bother checking behind all of the vents, only the one that was still literally black right inside the top portion of the duct. The picture attached is not after scrubbing. I literally just took a wet towel and touched it to the duct and it came out black."

"Glenn and a helper arrived within time expected. Work was done carefully and thoroughly. A part was broken during re-install and replaced at no cost to me. Work was done on a September special, which amounted to about a 25& discount. Advertised price did not include $20 charge if ladders were needed - a fact I was made aware of at the time of scheduling. Both men and the office person were friendly and professional. I would rehire this family company and have no trouble recommending to neighbors."

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Yes, basic cleaning can be done with vacuum attachments and vent brushes, but hard-to-reach areas are best left to professionals for thoroughness.

Using a leaf blower to clean your dryer vent isn't a good idea. Theoretically, the leaf blower should push the lint and debris toward the exterior vent opening, helping it exit. That's usually not what happens, though. 

Instead, the lint can get stuck further in the vent, creating a blockage and making the problem worse. You need a scrubbing tool, such as the rotating brush head on a dryer cleaning kit, to push the lint out of the ductwork.

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.

The length of an allowable dryer vent varies based on the local building codes and regulations. Typically, the maximum range is 25 to 35 feet. However, if the vent must have any 90-degree turns, you may see a reduction of five feet from the maximum. Some municipalities may have no specific maximum allowable length as part of the code. Typically, installers will run the vent over the shortest possible distance for safety. The dryer vent cleaning cost is less with a shorter vent length as well. 

Professionals use specialized tools to clean dryer vents effectively. These tools typically include a combination of flexible rods and brushes designed to navigate the vent's twists and turns. The brushes dislodge and loosen lint and debris, while the rods help extend the reach through the vent. High-powered vacuums with HEPA filters are also used to capture and remove the dislodged lint and particles, ensuring a thorough cleaning. In some cases, professionals may employ video inspection cameras to assess the condition of the vent and confirm that it's entirely clean.

By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
