Cleaning the lint filter is not enough. Although it does filter lint, some fabric fibers get through and end up in the dryer vent pipe where it stays undetected.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Services: Maintaining Safety and Efficiency in the Household
The U.S. Fire Administration recommends that homeowners do dryer vent cleaning and air duct cleaning once a year. An overlooked dryer vent causes an estimated $35 million in property loss, 100 injuries, and 5 deaths every year in house fires. The main culprit? Lint buildup. Although lint may seem harmless, it is a highly flammable material.
Most homeowners rely on the filter to catch all the loose fabric fibers. However, some find their way into the vent pipe where they stay undetected until the pipe becomes clogged. This is why duct cleaning San Diego is highly recommended and a necessary part of every homeowner’s checklist.
Aside from fire safety, it offers several other benefits like:
Dryer Machine Efficiency
Lint accumulation clogged dryer vents which in turn reduce the efficiency of drying clothes. When the airflow is restricted or stopped, the dryer is forced to work harder to find a way to get rid of moisture and heat. As a result, the dryer performs poorly and may even shut off by itself. More often than not, when people find that it takes a longer time to dry their clothes, they think it is a mechanical issue and immediately start shopping for a new one. But with proper inspection, the cause may be traced to a clogged dryer vent, which can be easily cleaned and repaired at a cheaper cost than the cost of a brand-new dryer.
Better Air Quality
A gas dryer that has excessive lint buildup keeps exhaust fumes from flowing out of the house. These harmful gases can circulate through the furnace or air conditioning which causes carbon monoxide to build up inside the house and cause poisoning or even death. To keep this from happening, the airflow in the San Diego dryer vent must always be clear and open.
Prevents Moisture Issues
When the clogged vent keeps moisture from getting expelled, it can cause tremendous damage. The moisture can mix with the lint and create a paper mache-like paste that, when dry, can be tough to remove. The moisture can cause mold growth and mildew in the vent pipe, in the dryer, and on the wall behind the dryer. Not only is this unsanitary, mold spores can also be dangerous to our health. In this case, a dryer vent cleaning is a must!
Keeps Clothes in Good Condition
Longer cycles and exposure to extreme heat can weaken the fabric of your clothes. As a result, clothes may start to rip, acquire holes, and lose color. Regularly cleaning your dryer vent can make for better and more efficient laundry cycles.
Saves Energy and Money
Regular vent cleaning minimizes the need for repair. It also minimizes the amount of time that the dryer is used and reduces the electricity used with every cycle of laundry. Both help minimize energy use and unnecessary expenses. Business owners who runs commercial laundromat and apartments benefits best from having dryer vent cleaned regularly.
Frequently Asked Questions

- The laundry take longer than normal to dry.
- The clothes become unusually hot to the touch.
- The room gets warmer than normal when the dryer is running.
- Burnt smell is noticeable.
- The dryer suddenly stops working.
- It’s been more than a year since the dryer vent got cleaned.

People Also Ask…
On average, duct cleaning costs around $370, sometimes between $268 and $485, depending on the size, condition, or difficulty it takes to clean the duct. However, larger homes or those that have more ducts or contamination maybe charge up to $700.
The answer is YES! Here are several reasons why it is necessary to clean your air duct:
- Mold may grow inside the hard surface of the ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system.
- Ducts may be infested with vermin like rodents or insects.
- They can be clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles, which can impede the performance of your ducts.
Yes, you may clean the ducts yourself. However, you might encounter difficulty in properly dealing with the components and materials inside it. When it comes to the nitty-gritty of cleaning the duct, it is not a do-it-yourself job. You will need professional tools that are not readily available in your garage, such as a high-powered vacuum and rotary brushes.
As recommended by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, it is ideal to have your air ducts cleaned every three to five years, depending on the location where you live, how frequently you use your HVAC system, and whether you have family members with respiratory problems.
Ventilation systems can be categorized as one of four types, namely, exhaust, supply, balance, and heat recovery.
In general, installation of a ventilation system can cost between $300 and $500 per room.
Technically, ventilation is the mechanical system in a house or building that supplies “fresh” outdoor air, and removes the “contaminated” indoor air. Ventilation is used to control exposure to airborne contaminants, such as fumes, specks of dust, and vapors, which can be risky especially to those with respiratory problems.
Most homeowners spend about $80 to $200 to install or replace a dryer vent. This estimate includes labor and materials. The total project cost can go up to $1,000, depending on some factors like material quality, placement, and installation complexity.
Here is a simplified process on how to fix, repair, or replace a dryer vent:
- Gather your supplies (screwdriver, washcloth, duct tape, plumbing snake, trash can)
- Empty and wash lint trap
- Pull dryer away from the wall
- Check duct for rips and gaps
- Tighten seals at both ends of the duct
- Replace a damaged or non-sealing duct (optional)
- Clear the duct channel
- Try the dryer again
Yes, plumbers can be hired to install dryer vents. However, we have dryer vent professionals who are more experienced in doing the job and know more its what’s, how’s, and whereabouts.
Yes, you can patch a dryer vent to prevent it from further breaking. Ducts that are broken can be fixed easily by sealing the damaged area. However, the repair will depend on the size of the broken area. If it is relatively small, a simple wrapping of a duct tape would suffice. On the other hand, if the damage goes to the extent that a duct tape is not sufficient, then it is best to install a new vent duct and replace the old one.
- To access the flexible gas line on a gas dryer, ask a helper to lift the dryer away from the wall. Turn off the gas valve at the gas pipe. Using an adjustable wrench, disconnect the fitting where the line attaches to the valve. Unplug the power cord from the outlet if you have an electric dryer.
- Move the dryer as needed to gain access to the back and the circular exhaust pipe where the vent tube connects. The disconnected flexible vent tube should be nearby, and the open end of the tube may still have the clamp attached.
- Using a nut driver, loosen the clamp’s bolt counterclockwise. Remove the clamp from the vent tube’s end.
- Insert a new vent clamp 3/4 inch from the open end of the tube. Fit the tube completely onto the circular exhaust pipe while holding it towards the open end. Tighten the clamp’s bolt to connect the vent pipe to the dryer exhaust.
- If necessary, reposition the dryer to reconnect the flexible gas line fitting to the natural gas valve. Using the wrench, tighten the fitting securely. Turn on the valve. Plug an electric dryer’s cord into an electrical outlet.
- Place the dryer in the desired position, being careful not to crush the vent tube between the wall and the back of the dryer.
A dryer cannot be used properly without a vent. It’s not safe. Dryer vents help to create a suction force that eliminates lint from garments and allows air to circulate more effectively. The dryer vent’s exhaust should be directed outdoors, where warm air, gases, and lint are ejected away from the house.
