Dryer Vent Cleaning & Repair — Book a Visit Today
Lint does not stay put. It packs into the duct, grabs clay dust and moisture, and turns a four-minute dry cycle into forty. Crushed flex pipe behind the dryer, a flapper hood stuck shut, a run that snakes too far through a crawlspace. All of it chokes airflow. Our visit starts at the back of the machine and follows the line to daylight. We measure airflow, clear the packed length, check the joints for leaks into your walls, and repair or replace the parts that collapsed. Then we run a cycle and watch the exhaust. If your clothes come out damp and hot, or the laundry room smells scorched, call us and we will get eyes on the duct.

What homeowners say after the visit
“Booked for the washer, and he also tightened the dryer door latch without being asked. No extra line item.”
May L.Birmingham, AL“Old house, old wiring, cranky range. The tech worked around all of it without complaining once.”
Herb W.Newport News, VA“They said morning, they meant morning. The quote said one number, the card ran that number.”
Faye D.Springfield, MODryer Vent Cleaning & Repair — quick answers
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
Once a year suits most households. Bump it up if you dry heavily every week, own a long duct run, or have pets that shed. Short runs straight through a wall stay cleaner than lines that travel through a crawlspace or attic.
Can a clogged vent actually start a fire?
Yes. Packed lint is dry fuel sitting next to a heat source, and blocked air keeps that heat from escaping. Scorched smells, a hot cabinet, and cycles that quit early are all warnings worth acting on right away.
Is my dryer broken or is it just the vent?
Both look the same from the laundry room. Hot clothes that stay damp usually mean airflow, not heat. We test the exhaust before condemning any part, so you are not paying for a component the duct was strangling.
What about flexible foil or plastic duct behind the dryer?
Thin flex crushes when the dryer gets pushed back and its ridges catch lint. Rigid or semi-rigid metal moves air better and cleans out easier. We swap the transition piece when we find it kinked or torn.
How long does a vent cleaning visit take?
Most straightforward runs are done inside an hour. Long ducts, roof terminations, or a line with several elbows take longer. If we find a collapsed section or a bird nest at the hood, we will explain the repair before touching it.
Do you handle vents that exit through the roof?
We do, when the run can be reached and worked safely. Roof hoods clog at the cap and collect nests. We brush the line from the dryer end and check the flapper for free movement before we call the job finished.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call us or fill out the form and tell us what you hear, smell, or see. Buzzing, leaking, no heat. Plain talk is fine. We'll ask a few questions and set a visit window.
- Step 2
We come look
A technician shows up in the window, pulls the unit out, and tests it. No guessing games. We explain what failed and why, in words that make sense on your back porch.
- Step 3
We fix it
Common parts ride with us, so a lot of repairs finish on that first visit. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you plainly and set the return date before we pull out of your driveway.

Why homeowners call us
- Storm-season surge damageLightning and blinking power hurt control boards. You get an oven that lights up but won't heat, or a washer that quits mid-cycle. We test boards and wiring before we replace anything, so you know what the surge actually took out.
- Clay dust and lintRed clay dust and lint choke dryer vents and condenser coils. That's where long dry times and a hot laundry room come from, and it's why a fridge runs nonstop. We check airflow every visit, because a clogged vent kills a good machine slowly.
- Straight talk, no runaroundWe tell you what's wrong and what it takes to fix. If a machine is worn past sense, we say that too, and you decide. No pressure and no jargon. We don't dress up an upsell as advice.
- Independent and localWe're a Nashville crew, not a call center. As an independent shop we repair all major brands. Call us and you get a real person, somebody who knows the roads we drive.
