Our dryer vent cleaning service starts with an inspection of your dryer unit and its air exhaust vent.
cleaning process
If the lint trap needs cleaning, we will remove and clean the filter in addition to vacuuming the lint trap housing.
Next, we disconnect the dryer and carefully move the unit away from the wall to clean the back of the dryer, vacuuming inside with an agitation device until it is clear.
Similarly, we detach the dryer vent to clean out the duct and the outside exhaust vent with the proper agitation devices, vacuuming out all trapped lint.
Once everything is clear, our technicians will carefully reattach the ductwork and reconnect the dryer—now cleaner, more efficient, and safer than ever.
Air duct cleaning redefines home health. Eliminating dirt, dust and microbial growth from your ductwork can improve indoor air quality while maintaining a cleaner home and increasing HVAC efficiency. Clean ducts mean less dirt in your home and air because ductwork is often the source and pathway for dust and biological contaminants.
