Serving Lake Geneva, Elkhorn, Delavan, Burlington & surrounding communities.
More Than Just Removing Lint
A clean dryer vent can help reduce fire risk, improve dryer performance, and reduce unnecessary wear on your appliance.
In fact, major dryer manufacturers recommend cleaning the dryer vent and exhaust system at least once a year under normal use.
Reduce Fire Risk
Lint is combustible, and restricted airflow can contribute to excessive heat buildup in the dryer and vent system.
Improve Airflow
A clear vent allows hot, moist air to escape efficiently, helping shorten drying times and reduce unnecessary energy use.
Protect Your Dryer
Proper airflow helps your dryer operate more efficiently, reducing unnecessary strain and wear on the appliance.

We inspect and clean the dryer vent system from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, then properly reconnect everything before we leave.

Signs Your Dryer Vent May Need Cleaning
Your dryer will often give you warning signs when airflow is restricted. Here are some of the most common things to watch for.
Clothes Take Longer to Dry
Loads take longer than usual or require more than one cycle.
Dryer Feels Unusually Hot
Restricted airflow can cause excess heat to build up in the dryer and vent system.
Burning or Unusual Odors
Unusual odors while the dryer is running can be a sign the dryer or vent system needs attention
Weak Airflow Outside
Little air is coming from the exterior vent, or the vent flap isn't opening properly while the dryer runs.
Lint Around the Dryer
Lint accumulating behind or around the appliance may indicate a venting problem.
It's Been a While
Major dryer manufacturers recommend annual vent cleaning. If it's been over a year, it may be time.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
For most homes, having the dryer vent inspected and cleaned about once a year is a good maintenance schedule. Major dryer manufacturers recommend cleaning the dryer vent and exhaust system at least once a year with normal use. Homes with frequent laundry use, longer vent runs, or other airflow challenges may need more frequent service.
-
Yes. Manufacturer installation instructions commonly recommend cleaning lint from the entire existing vent system before connecting a new dryer. A clean, properly configured vent helps give your new dryer the airflow it was designed to have.
-
Yes. When needed, we'll carefully move the dryer, disconnect it from the vent system, clean and inspect the connection, and properly reconnect the dryer when the work is complete.
-
We do not disconnect or reconnect gas supply lines. If the dryer cannot be safely moved far enough to perform the service without disconnecting the gas line, we'll discuss the situation with you before proceeding. A qualified professional may need to disconnect and reconnect the gas supply.
-
Yes, in many cases. Long runs, multiple turns, roof terminations, and difficult-to-access vent systems may require additional time or equipment. We'll evaluate the system and discuss any additional cost with you before performing work beyond the standard service.
-
Yes. Bathroom exhaust fan cleaning is available individually and is included for up to three fans with our Whole-Home Care service. We clean accessible fan components and covers, check fan operation, and clean accessible exterior terminations.
-
We'll show you what we find and give you straightforward recommendations. Common issues can include damaged or crushed transition ducts, improper connections, obstructed exterior terminations, excessive lint buildup, or other airflow restrictions. We won't perform additional work or add charges without discussing it with you first.
-
Flexible foil or plastic duct can be easily damaged by rotary cleaning equipment, so we don't run our brushes through it. If flexible duct is being used where it shouldn't be or needs replacement, we'll show you what we find and discuss your options. Accessible transition duct replacement starts at $59.
