"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."
"We’re currently remodeling two bathrooms under the same contract. The first bathroom is complete, and the second one just started this week. While their bid wasn’t the lowest we received, it felt fair and, in hindsight, definitely worth it. The project manager was an excellent communicator—knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and never pressured us to accept the offer. We’re extremely pleased with the quality of work on the first bathroom and are confident the second will turn out just as well. A tip for future clients: make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. We did, and the team completed the bathroom ahead of schedule. The space is narrow, so the photo angles don’t do it justice, but I hope they still give a sense of the high-quality work delivered."
Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts
According to the National Fire Protection Association, dryers and washing machines cause over 15,000 fires a year, with dryers causing about 92 percent of those fires. Because dryer fires are more common than you might think, it’s important to clear the lint trap regularly and have annual dryer vent cleanings.
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, such as high-powered vacuums and brushes, to clear lint and debris from the vent system, ensuring its safe and efficient operation.
Failing to open your flue can lead to serious health hazards if you start a fire because the smoke will back up into your home. Breathing fire smoke, even in relatively small quantities, is bad for human lungs, and smoke can also irritate your nasal passages and eyes. Furthermore, smoke can cause damage to your interior fixtures and furnishings, at the very least leaving an unpleasant smoky smell for a long time. In short: If your flue isn’t open (or you’re not sure if it is or not), don’t start a fire to find out!
Signs include longer drying cycles, a burning smell, excess lint behind the dryer, and the vent hood not opening properly.
