"Hired Mark to clean dryer vents as we had a clog. He did state that it wasn't installed properly, with parts only held up with installation, and a couple sections come apart. There was a burning smell from my dryer, which never happened before, and he stated I needed to call an appliance repairman for that, but that the vents were fixed and clean from dryer to outside vent. (His website states you will receive before/after pictures, which I wasn't provided.) When my husband came home, he discovered there was good airflow coming from the dryer and no more burning smell (that was from the constant running with no airflow in the vent for the 1 1/2 hrs he was here). We looked in the vent from outside and saw a clogged vent. When I reached out to Mark to ask him to come back out, he canceled the appointment due to car trouble and stated he could come the following Monday. (I'd already been without my dryer for 3 weeks.) I told him about the clogged pipe and he responded by stating it wasn't his fault and that it was clean when he left, implying it was something I did. I hadn't touched the thing since he left. He said it could be because it wasn't installed right to begin with, but it has worked for over 6 years. He said I had to trust him that it was clean when he left. He never even thought to take responsibility for the job done. My husband took down the clogged section, that clearly hadn't been cleaned at all, cleaned it out and now it works perfectly. I sent pictures of the clogged pipe to Mark and he never responded. Not even to say sorry. The thing is, if he would have taken responsibility and not tried to blame the customer or make the number of excuses he did, I would have waited for him to return to finish the job and would have a left a glowing review."

"I had Veronica Cleaning do a one time cleaning on 11/16/24. She would only accept cash payment, but would not provide a receipt at the time; she said she had “a lot to do” and she would send me a receipt later. I still have not received one, and she won’t even respond to me. I now don’t trust that she’s even legit."

Yes, dryer vent cleaning is absolutely worth it. It’s a key safety measure, preventing potential dryer fires caused by lint buildup. Beyond safety, regular cleaning improves your dryer's efficiency, leading to faster drying times and lower energy bills. It also extends the lifespan of the dryer, saving you money on repairs or premature replacement. The average cost of cleaning is a small investment for the significant benefits and peace of mind it provides.
Yes. You should contact a specialist for thorough dryer vent cleaning. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or companies dedicated to dryer vent cleaning have the expertise and equipment to manage every vent configuration, including challenging setups like roof-installed or extended duct systems. Reaching out to a qualified professional ensures both safety and efficiency throughout the cleaning process.
While it might seem like a quick solution, using a leaf blower to clean your dryer vent is not recommended. Using a leaf blower often pushes lint deeper into the vent or causes it to become more compacted, creating a worse clog. This can also damage the vent material, especially flexible ducts, leading to tears and further fire hazards. For effective and safe cleaning, a specialized dryer vent cleaning kit with a brush or a powerful vacuum with a long hose attachment is preferred, or even better, hiring a professional.
Clean your dryer vent at least once per year to keep your dryer operating efficiently and prevent fires. If your dryer is located far from an exterior wall, increase the frequency of cleanings to twice a year. Doing laundry daily for a large household requires an increase to quarterly cleanings to keep the vents and ducts clear of debris.
You cannot operate a standard dryer without a properly attached vent hose. An unconnected vent forces hot, moist air into your home, which compromises indoor air quality and accelerates mold and mildew growth. This unsafe condition not only raises the risk of fires but also leads to extensive repair expenses, as it breaches local building codes that require external venting.
