"Highly recommend Dmitri! He performed a chimney cleaning, air vent cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning at my home and did an outstanding job.

He worked with a level of care and attention to detail that you’d expect if it were his own home—truly a perfectionist. On top of that, he was able to schedule my services very quickly, which I really appreciated. Professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again."

"The guys showed up and were able to tackle the dryer vent cleaning. Glad I called because dryer lint had accumulated 13yrs! They did a great job. Would def call back."
"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."
"Hired FCS for dryer vent cleaning. The owner was very responsive, gave us a great rate (half the cost of some of the other quotes), sent a tech out the same day as we accepted their bid. Tech arrived promptly, was friendly and professional, cleaned out years of accumulation in a flurry of lint. We will hire these folks again."
"The service people were friendly and professional from when they came to provide the quote to when they came to do the work. They cleaned up after themselves and made sure all was good. I appreciated the work effort. I would recommend them without hesitation."
Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts
You will know if your dryer is overheating by placing your hand on top to feel its temperature. If it’s hot to the touch, that’s a clear sign the dryer is overheated. Other signs include your laundry coming out hotter than usual, a burnt smell when it’s running, or burn marks on your laundry.
You have two different types of air vents in your home: supply and return air vents. Your supply air vents are responsible for pushing air into your home. Meanwhile, return air vents draw warmer air back into the ductwork to condition it by removing the warm molecules from it. Both types of vents are necessary to a working HVAC system and a comfortable home.
Dryers pull in air from a circular opening in the back of the dryer. The dryer's heating element heats the air, and a blower fan circulates the hot air through the drum. The hot air travels outside the dryer through a vent or is cooled by a heat exchanger that condenses the steam into water and sends it down a drainpipe or to a containment compartment.
To lower humidity quickly, run a dehumidifier or your home's air conditioner or turn on exhaust fans to extract moisture. These methods can quickly and effectively bring your home's humidity levels to a comfortable condition. However, you should consistently practice humidity-reducing tasks to maintain proper indoor humidity levels.
If you happen to disassemble your dryer vent and feel the inside of the duct immediately after drying a load of laundry, it will likely feel damp and warm. That’s normal, as the vent has just finished moving the humidity and moisture from your laundry to the exterior of your property. However, if your dryer vent has water droplets in it at any time, it’s a sign that there’s trouble with the machine’s ventilation. You should call in a professional right away to get the issue fixed.
