Dryer Vent Cleaning in Flower Mound and Denton County

Dryer vent cleaning: $129

Lint is flammable, and a dryer vent is a tube that slowly fills with it. The National Fire Protection Association counts about 13,820 home fires a year involving clothes dryers, and failure to clean is the leading cause at about a third. Short of a fire, a clogged vent makes the dryer run twice as long, wears out the heating element, and in gas dryers can back carbon monoxide into the house.

What a dryer vent cleaning includes

  1. Airflow test at the dryer before cleaning so you can see the difference.
  2. Pull the dryer, disconnect the transition hose, and clean the dryer's lint housing and the hose.
  3. Clean the full run from the wall to the exterior cap with rotating brushes and compressed air, from inside and from the outside termination.
  4. Clear the exterior cap and check that the damper flap opens freely and closes fully to keep birds and pests out.
  5. Reconnect with a proper transition hose if the existing one is plastic or foil that is crushed or cracked.
  6. Airflow test again and photos of what came out.

Two-story plans across Denton County commonly put the laundry room upstairs and vent the dryer through the attic to a roof cap, a run of 25 to 40 feet with several elbows, right at the 35-foot code limit. Those runs clog in a year and are the ones most likely to be disconnected in the attic.

What we look for while we are there

Vinyl or foil flex duct inside the wall, which is a code violation and a fire hazard; screens on the exterior cap, which clog with lint; runs that exceed the length the code allows for the number of elbows; and disconnected joints in the attic that have been dumping lint on the insulation. Any of those gets a written note and a quote for repair; see dryer vent repair and rerouting.

Pricing

Dryer vent cleaning in Flower Mound is a flat $129. Roof terminations and runs over 25 feet are included at that price. Pairing it with air duct cleaning on the same visit saves on both.

If a load now takes two cycles, the vent is the first thing to check. Call (972) 460-5954 to book a cleaning in Flower Mound and across Denton County.

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions

How do I know my dryer vent needs cleaning?

Clothes take more than one cycle to dry, the dryer or the laundry room is hot to the touch, you smell a burning odor, the outside flap does not open while the dryer runs, or it has been more than a year. Any one of those is reason enough.

My dryer vents through the roof. Can you still clean it?

Yes, and that is the run that needs it most. Most second-floor laundry rooms in Denton County vent through the attic to a roof cap, and those long runs are exactly the ones that clog and come apart. We clean from both ends and verify airflow at the cap.

Do you clean inside the dryer too?

The dryer's internal lint trap housing and the flexible connector behind the dryer are included. Opening the dryer cabinet is appliance repair and not something we do.
