Dryer Vent Cleaning in Florida
Dryer vent cleaning removes the lint packed along the duct between your dryer and the outside hood. In Florida it costs $100 to $200, and we measure airflow at the hood before and after so you can see the difference in a number.
The lint screen in the dryer catches most of it, not all of it. What gets past settles along the duct, thickest at bends, joints and the last few feet before the hood, and in a humid Florida run it settles damp and packs instead of blowing out. Drying times creep up so slowly that most people only notice when a towel load takes two cycles.
A restricted vent makes the dryer run hotter and longer. That costs electricity, wears the heating element and the thermal fuse, and is the condition behind the leading cause of home dryer fires, which the US Fire Administration identifies as failure to clean.
Most homes need it once a year. A long attic or roof run, a large household, or pets that shed can make that every six to nine months. We tell you which applies to your run after we have measured it, not before.
Key benefits
A number, not an opinion
Airflow is read at the hood before we start and again when we finish, with the same instrument in the same spot.
The whole run, both ends
Rotary brush and compressed air from the laundry side and from the outside where the run allows it, so lint leaves the house instead of moving deeper.
Transition and hood included
The hose behind the dryer and the damper at the hood are where a large share of blockages sit. Both are part of the job, not extras.
Price before booking
You hear the figure for your run on the phone. If what we find changes it, you hear that before any extra work starts.
Our process
- Measure. Airflow reading at the exterior termination with the dryer running, before anything is touched.
- Disconnect and inspect. Pull the dryer, check the transition hose and the wall connection, note anything crushed, split or illegal.
- Clean the run. Rotary brush and compressed air through the full length, working from both ends where we can reach them.
- Clear the hood. Remove lint, nests and debris from the cap and free the damper so it opens with the dryer and closes when it stops.
- Measure again and reconnect. Second airflow reading, dryer reconnected and tested, and the before and after numbers shown to you.
Dryer Vent Cleaning: FAQs
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Florida?
Most homes pay $100 to $200. A short wall vent sits at the bottom of the range and a long attic run to a roof cap at the top. You get the figure for your run before we book.
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
Once a year for a typical household. Every six to nine months with a long or roof run, several loads a day, or pets that shed heavily.
How do I know my dryer vent is clogged?
Clothes needing two cycles, a dryer or laundry room that is hot after a load, a burning smell, or an outside flap that barely moves while the dryer runs.
Can I clean it myself?
You can clean the lint screen every load and the first few feet of the transition hose. A full run, especially through an attic or to the roof, needs the right brush and a way to clear the hood, and a kit pushed the wrong way can pack lint deeper.
Do you clean condo dryer vents?
Yes. We clean the part you own, from the dryer to the wall or ceiling connection. Where it joins a riser shared with other units, that riser belongs to the association, and we say so rather than clean your section and call the problem solved.
