A clogged dryer vent is the leading cause of residential dryer fires in the United States, and a vent that has not been cleaned in years is almost certainly accumulating the lint that makes that risk real. A clean, correctly routed dryer vent also makes the dryer run more efficiently, reducing drying cycle times and extending the appliance's service life.
A clogged dryer vent is the leading cause of residential dryer fires in the United States, and a vent that has not been cleaned in years is almost certainly accumulating the lint that makes that risk real. A clean, correctly routed dryer vent also makes the dryer run more efficiently, reducing drying cycle times and extending the appliance's service life. Our handyman specialists clean, repair, and reroute dryer vents, removing lint from the full vent run, repairing damaged flex duct sections, and correcting vent paths that were never installed to code.
Dryer vent cleaning is a safety service, not just a maintenance one, the National Fire Protection Association reports that dryers and washing machines are involved in roughly 15,000 home fires annually, with the leading cause being failure to clean the dryer vent. A vent that runs too long, has too many bends, or is made of flexible vinyl duct instead of rigid metal also restricts airflow even when clean, and a dryer that has to work harder to push air through a restrictive vent runs hotter and accumulates lint faster. Kaminskiy Care and Repair’s handyman specialists clean the full vent run, replace non-compliant flexible vinyl duct with rigid metal, and assess the vent path for length and bend compliance. A safe, clean dryer vent is a call away.
A dryer vent cleaned only at the accessible section near the dryer, without cleaning the full run to the exterior cap, leaves the lint accumulation in the section where the vent heats up most. Our handyman specialists clean the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior cap.
The entire vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior cap is cleaned, not just the first few feet near the dryer where access is easiest.
The exterior vent cap is cleaned, the flap is confirmed to open freely during operation, and damaged caps are replaced, a cap that will not open fully restricts airflow even in a clean vent.
Flexible white vinyl duct is a fire code violation in most jurisdictions, we identify and replace it with rigid metal or UL-listed flexible metal duct.
We stand behind our dryer vent cleaning and repair workmanship.
BEFORE
AFTERFull dryer vent cleaning from the dryer collar to the exterior cap, using a rotary brush system that dislodges lint from the full duct run, with exterior cap inspection and clearing included.
Damaged, disconnected, and non-compliant dryer vent sections repaired or replaced, including replacement of flexible white vinyl duct with rigid metal or UL-listed flex duct, and reconnection of sections that have come apart inside walls or ceilings.
Dryer vent path assessment for total length, number of bends, and termination compliance, with rerouting performed where the existing path exceeds code-allowed equivalent length or terminates incorrectly.
Lint removed end to end, crushed and flexible duct replaced with rigid metal, the vent terminated outdoors.
A dryer that takes two cycles is usually a vent that is half full of lint. We clean the whole run from the dryer to the outside hood, check the duct for crushed sections, foil flex and long runs, and test the airflow when we are done. Clothes dry faster and the lint stops building up where it can ignite.

Lint is dry, fine and flammable, and a dryer pushes hot air through it. Clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of laundry room fires. Clearing the run removes the fuel.
The white plastic and silver foil hoses sold next to dryers sag, trap lint and can melt. Rigid or semi-rigid metal duct is smooth inside and stays open. If your vent is foil, replacing it is the repair.
Every elbow and every extra foot of duct slows the air and holds lint. A run that loops through the attic or ends in the crawl space has to be fixed, not just cleaned.
Once a year for most homes. Twice a year for large families, pet owners or long vent runs. Any time the dryer slows down, it is time.

Call 855-695-1195The dryer takes longer than one cycle, the dryer or the laundry room feels hot, there is a faint burning smell, or the flap on the outside hood barely opens while the dryer runs. Any one of those means the vent is restricted. If the vent has never been cleaned, it is due.
Once a year for most homes. More often if you have a large family, pets, a long vent run or a dryer that runs daily. New homeowners should have the vent inspected, since the previous owner may never have cleaned it.
Yes, and we recommend it. Foil and plastic flex hose traps lint, kinks when the dryer is pushed back and can melt. We replace it with a semi-rigid metal connector sized to the dryer and route the rest of the run in rigid metal duct.
Yes. A dryer vent must end outdoors. Venting into an attic, crawl space or garage dumps hot, moist, lint-filled air into the structure, which leads to mold, rot and a fire risk. We reroute the duct to the nearest outside wall or roof and fit a proper hood.
A cleaning is priced by the length and route of the vent. Repairs depend on how much duct has to be replaced, whether it has to be rerouted through a wall or roof, and the hood. You get the price in writing before we start.
