WHAT IS A CLOGGED DRYER VENT COSTING YOU?
Time
Is your dryer taking forever to dry a single load of clothes? Dryers that can’t exhaust properly lead to increased drying times, forcing you to rerun cycles and wait endlessly for your laundry to finish. Your time is too valuable to wait on laundry. Professional dryer vent cleaning can speed up drying times, freeing you up to focus on what truly matters to you.
Money
A struggling dryer isn’t just a time-waster, but a money-waster as well. Running your dryer for longer periods of time significantly hikes up your power bill. Also, the constant overworking of your dryer leads to costly repairs or even the need for a new dryer. Save yourself the money and invest in a professional dryer vent cleaning service.
Safety
A clogged dryer vent is more than an inconvenience; it’s a serious fire hazard. Obstructed airflow causes excessive heat build-up in the dryer, and every bit of lint in and around the dryer can easily spark and start a dryer fire. Protecting your home and family from this risk is easy with routine dryer vent cleaning.
“HomeSafe came out and cleaned every point of the system (it hadn’t been cleaned in 30 years). Now, our dryer works better than it ever has!” -Amanda R.

Step 2: Receive a Diagnosis

Step 3: Let us Clean and Repair
We ensure your dryer ventilation system is operating to maximum efficiency with our internal vent brushing and blockage removal. We will also perform any necessary repairs to your dryer vent, including the dryer vent’s termination hood (whether located on the roof or on the side of your home) and any dryer exhaust duct power ventilators, aka dryer vent booster fans. There is nothing our specialists cannot handle.
Step 4: Enjoy an Effective Dryer
Our technicians will leave you with an efficiently running dryer. As you enjoy your fully functional dryer with proper ventilation, you will spend less time drying your clothes and won’t be worried about fire risks or battling the frustration and expense of keeping your dryer operational.

REAP THE REWARDS OF DRYER VENT CLEANING
Having your dryer vent periodically inspected and cleaned by an experienced professional can significantly improve the efficiency of your appliance, extend its lifespan, reduce energy consumption, and, most importantly, prevent potential fire hazards in your home.
Save Money on Utilities
A clogged dryer vent restricts airflow, causing your dryer to work harder and longer to dry clothes. This leads to increased energy consumption and higher utility bills. Professionally clearing the dryer’s entire exhaust duct, aka dryer vent, allows it to operate at its optimal level, drying clothes more quickly and with less effort - saving you time, money, and frustration.
Eliminate Dryer Fire Risks
Cleaning your dryer vent helps prevent potential fire hazards in your home. Over time, normal lint buildup will restrict your dryer’s ability to exhaust properly and cause backflow - pushing lint back inside your dryer. Lint accumulation in the dryer and vent can ignite from the heat generated by the dryer, leading to a dangerous fire. Regular maintenance removes this highly flammable material, significantly reducing the risk of a dryer-related fire and ensuring the safety of your household.
Gain Back Valuable Time
A clean vent allows for proper airflow, ensuring that hot, moist air (and excess lint) can efficiently escape from the dryer to the outside of your home. Maintaining a clean vent allows your dryer to operate optimally, drying your laundry more quickly and effectively. This means you spend less time waiting for your clothes to dry and more time enjoying other activities or tasks.

DRYER VENT CLEANING SERVICES
Sometimes, dryer issues require more than a simple vent inspection. Our expert technicians will recommend other services or products specifically designed to improve dryer performance in those situations.

Dryer Vent Repairs & Improvements
We fix disconnected vents, crushed vents, rusted-out vents, and dryer vents made with the wrong materials that could cause all sorts of unwanted problems.
Dryer Vent Rerouting & Replacement
We reroute dryer vents that are unsafe or inefficient (ex: too long, run under the house, too many turns, terminate indoors).
Frequently Asked Questions
Many people blame their dryer's inefficiency on the actual dryer, but most of the time it is their dryer vent that is causing the problem. We receive many referrals from dryer repairmen who get calls about broken dryers only to find that it is their vents that are clogged and their dryer is fine. Clogged vents don't allow the hot air and moisture to escape the dryer, so your clothes don't dry very well.
Cleaning your vents will most likely save you some money on your power bill since your dryer won't have to expend as much energy and you won't use as many cycles. Average savings are $18-24 per month. The dryer is one of the most costly appliances to operate.
The dryer vent can be cleaned from outside the house but it is much more effective if cleaned from the inside. If you prefer our technician not come inside please let us know and we will clean your vent from the outside.
It is helpful if you remove all clothing from the dryer and can remove anything on or around the dryer, so our technicians can have easy access to clean your vent as quickly and easily as possible.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reccommends having your dryer vent cleaned out at least once per year. HomeSafe believes that there are several factors to consider when determining how often you need your vents cleaned:
-
How often is your dryer used?
-
Is your dryer over 10 years old?
-
Is it fullsize or small stackable dryer?
-
Is your vent over 5 feet long?
-
Does your vent have several bends or elbow joints?
-
Do you have a bird guard covering your exhaust exit?
-
I always clean out my lint trap before I dry clothes, do I still need to have my vent cleaned?
While approximately 70% of the lint is caught in your dryer's "lint trap/screen"--the remainder is blown through the dryer and ventilation tubing. Most of that wet, sticky lint gets stuck on the walls of the duct work and just continues to build up over time causing issues and does need to be cleaned.
-
If your dryer vent is short (6 inches - 1 foot) you can most likely clean it yourself fairly easily. If your vent is longer, home improvement stores do sell dryer vent cleaning equipment. We have had multiple customers tell us that they bought it and tried it themselves, spent hours on end attempting it but were unsuccessful in cleaning the vents. At HomeSafe we have high quality equipment that can clean your vents in a very thorough and efficient manner, saving you time and big headache in the end.
The amount of time it takes us to do the job varies depending on how long your vent is, how bad the build up is and if we run into unexpected problems such as bird's nests and disconnected vents. It typically around an hour to complete a job.
We have high quality equipment that allows us to do a superior job. We can first assess the build up with our special video camera that we stick into the actual duct work. We start the cleaning by attaching a "y-joint" to the dryer vent opening, which allows us to use a rotary brush and a powerful vacuum at the same time. The brush is attached to a high powered drill and suspended with flexible rods that span the length of your entire vent system. The drill causes the brush to spin very rapidly scraping the vent walls, removing and loosening lint. At the same time that we are brushing the vents clean we use a very high powered(3 motors) industrial vacuum to easily suck all of the lint out of the vents, thus removing the problem.
The dryer vent is a ventilation system that connects your dryer to the outside of the house. Your dryer blows hot air through your wet clothes to dry them, this hot air gets blown out of the house through the dryer vent, taking bits of lint with it.
A seemingly simple question, but we have discovered that there is a common misconception as to what the "dryer vent" actually is. Some people believe it is the lint trap that they clean out each time they dry their clothes and others think it is the hose that connects their dryer to the wall, both would be mistaken. Your dryer vent(also known as dryer exhaust duct) is the duct work and/or hosing that run from the dryer, through the wall(s), and to the vent hood located on the exterior of the home (usually on a side wall or on the roof).
