Dryer Vent Cleaning & Full Vent System Inspection

Protect Your Home. Improve Dryer Efficiency. Breathe Easier.

If you haven’t had your dryer vent cleaned or inspected in over a year, you’re risking more than just longer drying times. You’re risking a fire. Clogged dryer vents are one of the leading causes of household fires across the U.S., and most of them are entirely preventable.


We specialize in full-service dryer vent cleaning and complete vent system inspections—designed to improve efficiency, lower energy bills, and most importantly, keep your home and family safe.

Why Dryer Vent Cleaning Is Critical

Over time, lint and debris build up in your dryer vent. Even if you clean the lint trap with every load (which you should), your vent line still accumulates flammable material. Here’s why that matters:

  • Fire Risk: According to the U.S. Fire Administration, thousands of home fires start each year due to clogged dryer vents.
  • Reduced Efficiency: A clogged vent makes your dryer work harder, increasing energy use and decreasing appliance lifespan.
  • Excess Wear & Tear: Your dryer has to run longer to dry clothes, leading to faster burnout.
  • Mold and Moisture Problems: Poor airflow can trap moisture and cause mold or mildew issues inside your walls or vent system.
  • Pest Infestation: Bird nests, rodents, or bugs love to make homes in uncapped or unmaintained vent lines.

What Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Service Includes

When we say full-service, we mean it. Our expert technicians don’t just vacuum out the vent line and call it a day—we provide thorough cleaning and a full inspection of your entire dryer vent system.

Why Detroit Homes Are at Higher Risk for Dryer Vent Issues

Detroit’s housing stock is unique—a mix of historic homes, older rental units, and tightly packed multifamily properties. That’s great for character, but not so great for dryer vent safety. Here’s why:

  • Older homes often have outdated or poorly installed vent systems. We frequently see long, inefficient duct runs with sharp turns or flexible foil tubing—both of which are fire hazards.
  • Detached garages or basement laundry setups can mean longer vent lines, increasing the risk of clogs and requiring more thorough cleaning.
  • Seasonal humidity and winter moisture in Michigan also increase the chances of internal condensation, mold, or mildew buildup inside vent lines.

In short, if you live in or around Detroit, Royal Oak, Ferndale, Dearborn, or Southfield, you should absolutely have your dryer vent inspected and cleaned annually. Not just for peace of mind, but to meet local safety standards and reduce fire risk.

Real Risks. Real Consequences. Real Solutions.

You’d be surprised how many people say, “I didn’t even know dryer vent cleaning was a thing.” Until something goes wrong.

We’ve seen the aftermath:

  • A house fire that started behind a dryer due to a vent clogged with 10+ years of lint.
  • A rental property where every unit had excessive mold in the vent lines—leading to a $7,000 remediation bill.
  • A brand-new dryer failing within six months because the homeowner didn’t realize the vent was 95% blocked.

These stories aren’t rare—they’re routine. And they’re entirely preventable with one simple service a year.

When Should You Call Us?

If you’re thinking about it, you probably already should. But here’s when to stop guessing and schedule a cleaning:

  • You’ve bought or sold a home in the past year
  • You have pets (pet hair + lint = clogged vents fast)
  • You run your dryer more than 4–5 times a week
  • You smell burning or see excess lint behind the unit
  • Your exterior vent flap doesn’t open when the dryer is running

Even if your dryer seems “fine,” buildup happens gradually—and silently.

Signs are simple, if your clothes are taking longer to dry. If you have a burning smell when the dryer is on or running. A hot dryer exterior. Lint that is building up behind the dryer. If you have moisture or mold around the laundry area. These are all signs your dryer vent is clogged. You should schedule a dryer vent inspection, call – 313-513-1185.

Short answer, yes you can clean part of it (like the lint trap), but the entire vent line—especially if it runs through walls or ceilings—needs professional tools. DIY methods usually don’t remove the deep lint buildup, which is where the fire risk lies.

Most services take 60 to 90 minutes depending on the length and complexity of your vent system. Multi-unit properties or long vent runs may take longer. Some dryer vent inspections can lead into HVAC filter inspections too – but that would have to be scheduled with a HVAC professional.

Pricing depends on the vent length, layout, and accessibility. That said, most residential cleanings fall in the $120–$200 range. We’ll give you a clear quote before we do anything.
