"Great job, thoroughly cleaned both plenums (in and out), reattached ducts after cleaning (from plenum down and from duct grills up), duccts repositioned in the attic, blower disconnected and taken down for thorough cleaning. All furniture and stuff was vinyl-sheet covered. Vents were repositioned correctly. House smells fresh now. Fast, clean, efficient. Reasonable also, easy to work with. Would not hesitate to recommend this company. Thanks a lot"
"Herman was amazing! I had put off getting my dryer vents cleaned until my dryer would not turn on until I got it done. Of course I was in the middle of the family laundry! He came that day and cleaned out everything. He came back the next day to also clean out the AC ducts. It’s like new!! Not only did he do a great job but he came immediately to fix the emergency of my own making. So thankful!"
"I was very impressed with the level of professionalism from the technicians of United Home Cleaning Service. They were able to clean my dryer vent and also reconnect the vent inside the wall from where another contractor had broken it. I will be adding United Home Cleaning Services to my list of trusted contractors in my area."
"Indigenous Heating and Cooling did an amazing job they workaround everything financially very accommodated help me out with the circumstance making sure my heater worked again he also gave me a reasonable price on the cost."
So over the past 5+ years I’ve mainly been cleaning water tanks for water districts all over Houston. I graduated from Texas A&M and continue to grow my Buisness pressure washing as much as possible.
Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts
A dryer vent inspection is simply the process of checking the vent for the possibility of damage or clogs. You can do it yourself or hire a pro. Pull the dryer away from the wall and inspect the portion of the vent that’s behind the appliance for lint buildup or kinks. Check the connection of the vent to the wall for loose parts or lint that’s escaping the vent. Check the exterior exhaust vent for signs of damage or lint blockage. A pro can check the length of the vent inside the wall for you.
The frequency of cleaning your dryer depends on how often you use it. For regular households, it is recommended to clean the lint trap after each load of laundry. Additionally, thorough cleaning of the dryer—lint trap, drum, and exterior—should be done every few months. It's important to pay attention to the vent system as well. Ideally, it should be cleaned at least once a year, or six months if your dryer takes care of huge loads often, or more frequently if you notice reduced drying efficiency.
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.
A thorough dryer vent cleanout improves efficiency, reduces energy consumption, extends the dryer's life, and decreases fire risk from lint buildup.
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.
