How It Works

How Dryer Vent Cleaning Works, Step by Step

Key takeaways

  • The dryer is moved and disconnected
  • A rotary brush runs the duct while a vacuum collects lint
  • The hood and the dryer connection are cleaned
  • Airflow is tested before we leave

Setting up

We move the dryer out, disconnect the duct and protect your floor. We note the duct type, the length and any damage before we begin.

We take a few photos so you can see the starting point.

The cleaning

A rotary brush on a flexible rod travels the full length of the duct while a strong vacuum collects the lint. Long runs are done in sections, often from both ends.

We clean the dryer connection, the back of the dryer where we can and the vent hood outside.

Finishing

We reconnect the duct with a clamp and foil tape, push the dryer back without crushing it, run the dryer and check the airflow at the hood.

You get after photos and a short note about anything we saw.

Quick answers

How long does it take?

Often about an hour for a standard job. Longer runs take more time.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The vacuum keeps lint contained, and we tidy up.
