"Highly recommend Dmitri! He performed a chimney cleaning, air vent cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning at my home and did an outstanding job. Dmitri was extremely courteous and took the time to explain everything thoroughly, making sure I understood the process and results. 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."
"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
To maintain your washer and dryer, regularly clean the lint traps, filters, and vents. Also, check the hoses for wear, avoid overloading the machines, and ensure loads are balanced. These practices help optimize performance, prevent future issues, and extend the lifespan of your appliances.
Using less toilet paper is the easiest way to prevent future clogs. Also, avoid flushing sanitary products, thick paper towels, or hair down the toilet. If you’ve been using a brick in the tank to reduce the water used to flush the toilet, take it out immediately. Bricks will eventually fall apart and clog your toilet drain. Keeping your toilet lid closed also helps avoid future clogs.
Depending on how much you use it, your dryer should be disinfected about every six to 12 months, especially if you see frequent buildup of lint or evidence of stains from fabric bleeding or ink.
Other signs you should sanitize your dryer more often are overheating, improper drying, excessive humidity, or if you notice a strange odor when it’s running.
While a professional can always help, there are some common plumbing culprits you can check yourself to see if you can find the sewer gas smell. For example, you should check your water traps, sometimes called P-traps and S-traps, which are located under sink, shower, and laundry drains. The wax ring beneath the base of your toilet, which creates a watertight seal with the plumbing, could also have gone bad.
A thorough dryer vent cleanout improves efficiency, reduces energy consumption, extends the dryer's life, and decreases fire risk from lint buildup.
