"Corvelli sent two men to clean the ducts in both my AC and heating systems. They took about 3 hours, were very tidy and clean, and extremely curious. I had neglected in advance to notify them of an allergy that I had to the disinfecting agents that they used, and when I discovered my mistake, they completely remediated the cleaning agent with attention to detail and courteous concern. To remove the cleaning smell (which itself was pleasant smelling, though I was allergic to it) they were here for an extra 3 hours and did not charge me for that extra time, spraying and wiping down each duct twice, and they even went so far as to repair my old ceiling fan in order to help circulate the air in my house to remove any residual smell. They will be returning tomorrow free of charge just to check up on the job and to turn off my attic fan for me (which is quite old and difficult to control). Regarding the cleaning of the ducts, I watched their procedures which seemed thorough."
"The pro did the work of cleaning out the dryer vents. However, they left without discussing what they learned from the work. The picture that they sent with their project completion did not have particularly good pictures and did NOT show the lint that was removed from the vent exhaust. Moreover, the summary description of the work simply said that no problem was detected. Nothing about the exhaust cleaning. I called the office. The lady I spoke to kept talking about the quality work they did which did not answer my question about the lint removal. She did say there were pictures attached to the report. I agreed, but it was only of the vent and the roof. She sent me additional pictures that clearly showed the volume of lint removed on the roof. In my opinion, this whole experience could have been avoided if 1) the report summary explained that lint was removed, in addition to "there were no problems noted", and 2) all the pictures taken by the technicians been included."
"Mark was the first and only call I got when I searched your site for dryer hose cleaning. I figured no one would care to handle a small job , especially at the peak of the Christmas Season, but Mark did- and he SAVED our lives. And I mean literally, SAVED our lives. He came two days later to vacuum our dryer hose and found out that the vent hole where the hose dryer blows out was covered by the new sidings we had installed which could have caused a deadly fire!! Mark saved our lives, - God sent! Mark went above and beyond his duty - he opened it up and screened the hole . What is amazing is that this guy did not have to come for such a small"
The ideal time for dryer vent cleaning is typically during the spring or fall. These seasons offer moderate weather conditions, making it easier to access the exterior vent and work on the dryer without the extreme heat of summer or cold of winter. However, the timing can also depend on your usage patterns. If you use your dryer heavily year-round, consider scheduling cleanings more frequently, perhaps every six months, to prevent lint buildup and reduce fire risks. Ultimately, there is no wrong time of year to prioritize safety.
You can clean a dryer vent yourself by unplugging the dryer from your wall outlet, removing your vent pipe from your dryer, removing debris from the pipe and dryer area, and looking at the exterior vent exit for any debris or blockages.

Dryer vents commonly need to be replaced every one to three years. This will depend on the rate at which you dry loads, how often you clean your vent, and what type of vent you have. For instance, regular care will prolong the life span of most options, while aluminum foil vents may need to be replaced more frequently with or without regular maintenance.
Absolutely! Cleaning the interior of your dryer is crucial to maintain its efficiency and safety. As time goes by, lint, debris, and residues from dryer sheets tend to build up inside the drum, on the lint trap, and around the heating elements. Regular cleaning of the inside of the dryer prevents these particles from blocking the system, ensuring smooth airflow, and reducing the risk of fire hazards.
You’ll find the backdraft damper near the top of the range hood (where it connects to the ductwork). However, some range hoods also have a second damper, which is located close to the roof or exterior wall where the ductwork ends. If you don’t see a damper in either of these places, you might not have one.
