Dryer vent cleaning

Our services
Pick the problem you have.
Maybe the dryer has quit exhausting, maybe the ducts hold years of settled dust, maybe the ductwork is past saving. In every case you pay nothing for the quote, and on duct work the survey of the system comes before any equipment is unloaded.
Air duct cleaning
The whole system is looked over first, then supply and return runs are cleaned together for cleaner air at the registers.
What an assessment-first visit covers
Duct replacement
A crushed, torn or collapsed run that cleaning cannot rescue is taken out and replaced with new duct.

About the work
We only work on the paths air travels.
That means vents and ducts in houses, townhomes and shops, and nothing else. If a duct can be cleaned, we clean it; if it cannot, we replace it, and you hear which before you commit to anything.
- A no-strings quoteRequest one by phone or form. Saying no afterward costs you nothing.
- Survey, then equipmentDuct work begins with a walk through the entire system, which fixes the scope ahead of the work.
- End to endLint comes out from the connector behind the dryer right out to the cap, not just the part within arm's reach.
- Fitted to local constructionUpstairs laundry, a basement finished in drywall, townhomes sharing walls: each visit is mapped to the house as it is built.
- Houses and shopsLaundromats and salons fill a vent with lint much sooner than a household does, but the remedy is the same.
Warning signs
How a clogged dryer vent gives itself away
These six all trace to one cause: exhaust with nowhere to go. As the passage narrows, the dryer works harder and more heat and moisture stay inside the house.
A load needs a second run
With no outlet for moist air, towels finish damp and go back in.
The laundry area runs warm
Hot exhaust seeps into the basement corner, closet or hallway where the machines sit.
A scorched smell
Lint touching the heating element is scorching. Shut the dryer off and phone us before drying anything else.
Lint on the hood or siding
Fluff stuck outdoors means the vent is forcing it out against resistance.
The outside flap stays shut
Watch the cap outside during a cycle. If its flap never swings open, lint has glued it shut or the hood is damaged.
Screen full again already
Less lint escapes, so more lands in the screen. One remedy covers all six: clean the whole vent.
What to expect
Quote first, then survey, clean and test.
Quote
Call or use the form, and tell us about the vent. The quote follows three things: the length of the run, the scale of the system and the thickness of the lint.
Survey
On duct work, a technician walks the full system first, and nothing is unloaded until that walk is finished, so the job holds no surprises.
Cleaning
We take lint and debris out along the entire vent, dryer to cap. For air ducts, supply and return are cleaned together.
Airflow check
Afterward we confirm the exhaust moves as it should and mention any repair or upkeep the vent calls for.

Questions
First questions we hear
How frequently do dryer vents need attention?
Once a year is the least you should do, and a big household or near-daily laundry calls for sooner. A lot of Bridgewater colonials and split-levels keep the dryer in a finished basement or upstairs, so the exhaust has far to travel to the outside, and every elbow along the way is another place for lint to pile up.
How much time should I set aside?
Roughly an hour is normal for an ordinary dryer vent. If the run is lengthy, or years of neglect have packed it hard, expect between one and three hours. For air ducts the range is likewise one to three, based on the system, whereas replacement means a day or more.
Does the quote really cost nothing?
Yes, and nothing obliges you afterward. Where ducts are concerned, a technician goes over the full system before unloading equipment, so the job is explained to you ahead of your decision.
Do you serve my town?
Yes if you live in Bridgewater Township, including Martinsville, Finderne and Bradley Gardens, or in Raritan, Manville, Bound Brook, Warren, Green Brook or Branchburg. Browse the service areas page for the full list, and phone us if your address is borderline.
Is there anything I should do beforehand?
Only a little. We need a clear path to the dryer and to the cap outside. Townhome and condo residents should tell the association or property manager that a contractor will be visiting. Any access quirks? Tell us on the call and we will schedule around them.
Can you also do commercial and community jobs?
Yes. Dryers in a laundromat, salon or restaurant shed lint just like a home dryer, and those businesses get the same quote at no charge. Details are on the pages for commercial dryer vent cleaning and for condo and apartment community schedules.
Clean the vent ahead of winter.
Dryer fires climb in the colder months, the U.S. Fire Administration reports. Cleaning usually takes about an hour.
