Delray Beach, FL · dryer vent cleaning

Dryer vent cleaning for loads that take two runs.

In Delray Beach's damp air a clogged vent shows fast. We clear the whole exhaust path: the hose behind the drum, each bend, and the cap on the outside wall or roof.

  • Towels still damp after a full cycle
  • The dryer's top too hot to touch
  • The laundry room gets sticky while it runs
  • Lint collecting around the outdoor vent

Why the exhaust path matters

What changes when the vent can breathe again.

Your dryer is basically a fan shoving hot, wet air into a pipe. Everything on this page comes down to whether that air can get outside.

  • One cycle is enough again

    A packed vent forces a second cycle for a single load. It is the most common thing callers tell us, and it is the first thing to improve.

  • Less fuel near the heat

    Lint burns very easily, and lint lodged in a hot exhaust pipe is one of the most common causes of laundry-room fires. Removing it removes the fuel.

  • No steam bath in the laundry room

    Hot, wet air that can't get out through the vent escapes through the seams. That is why the room gets warm and muggy every time the dryer runs.

  • Less strain on the machine

    Running twice means twice the work for the same clothes. Getting the air moving again is the cheapest way to help the dryer last.

  • An outdoor flap that shuts

    The outside cap should swing open with the exhaust and fall shut when the dryer stops. If lint props it open, anything looking for a warm place to nest can move in.

  • The lint goes out with us

    We keep the vent under suction while the brush works, so loosened lint is pulled into our equipment instead of landing on the laundry floor or blowing back inside.

The visit, in order

From the back of the drum to the outside cap.

Open any step to see what happens in your laundry room. The dryer vent is a separate run from the AC ducts; the only thing they share is the house.

  1. We pull the dryer outThe job starts at the hose, not the wall.
  2. Suction goes on firstSo lint exits the house, not the room.
  3. A spinning brush goes all the wayThrough every bend and up every rise.
  4. We clear the outside capRoof caps included.
  5. Flap tested, floor sweptOpen with the air, shut without it.

Step 1 of 5

We pull the dryer out

We slide the dryer forward and take off the hose behind the drum. That short section gets crushed when a dryer is shoved back against the wall, and it is usually where the first wad of lint is stuck.

Step 2 of 5

Suction goes on first

We put the vent under negative pressure at the dryer end before any brush turns, so whatever it knocks free is drawn into our equipment and never into the laundry room. No brushing happens until that suction is running.

Step 3 of 5

A spinning brush goes all the way

Lint doesn't spread out evenly. It jams where the vent bends and where it rises, since that's where the air loses speed. We brush the entire run instead of the first foot a shop vac can reach from the wall, and that far end is what really decides how the dryer performs.

Step 4 of 5

We clear the outside cap

The cap is opened and cleared from the outside. One review on this profile describes exactly that: the dryer vent cleaned from the outside roof vent down. A vent that runs straight up is the toughest part of any dryer line, since the exhaust fights gravity the whole climb.

Step 5 of 5

Flap tested, floor swept

The flap needs to open with the exhaust and seal when the dryer stops, or the vent becomes a nesting spot. We test it with the dryer on and again with it off. Then the dryer goes back, the hose is reconnected, and we sweep the laundry floor before leaving.

Dryer vents in Delray Beach and four nearby towns.

The laundry's location sets the job: a ground-floor dryer venting out a side wall is a different visit from a vent that rises to a cap on the roof. Every town has its own page.

Send us your question
What are the signs my dryer vent is clogged?
Watch for loads that need a second cycle, a dryer that's hot to the touch when it finishes, a laundry room that gets muggy while it runs, or lint showing up around the outside vent. Any single one tells you the exhaust isn't getting out of the house properly.
How long will the dryer vent cleaning take?
On its own, the dryer vent usually takes under an hour: we pull the dryer out, brush and vacuum the hose and the whole run, clear the outside cap, test the flap and put the dryer back. A roof cap or a long vent with several bends takes more time, and we tell you that before starting, not afterwards.
Can you clean a vent that ends on the roof?
Yes. One review on this profile describes exactly that: the dryer vent cleaned from the outside roof vent down, with everything on the ground cleaned up afterwards. A vent that climbs is where lint packs tightest, because the exhaust has to rise the whole way.
Do you move the dryer yourselves?
Yes. We unhook the dryer and pull it out to reach the hose behind it, clean the vent, then hook it back up and slide it into its spot. We sweep the laundry floor before leaving; one review on our profile says the technician cleaned up everything on the ground after.
How often does a dryer vent need cleaning?
That depends on the vent itself. A short side-wall vent in a two-person home clogs much more slowly than a long run to a roof cap in a home that does laundry daily, so any fixed schedule would be a guess. Go by drying time: once an ordinary load needs a second cycle, the vent has clogged up again.
Can you do the air ducts on the same visit?
Yes, and plenty of visits include both. The dryer vent is its own separate run and shares nothing with the AC ducts except the house, so let us know on the phone which one you want checked and we'll book enough time.
How is the price set?
It depends on how long the vent is, where it exits and how clogged it is, so we quote on site before touching anything. Nothing begins until you've heard the number and said yes.

How long does one load take to dry?

That answer tells us most of what we need before we arrive, along with whether the vent exits through a wall or the roof.
