Dryer vent cleaning
We clear lint, dust and clogs out of the full length of the duct, from the back of the dryer to the cover outside, and then test it so the dryer vents the way it should.

Our services
Dryer vents, air ducts and new ductwork.
Three services cover almost every call we get: a dryer that no longer dries, AC vents that blow dust, and ducts that have rusted, torn or grown mold. Each one starts with a free estimate.
Air duct cleaning
We inspect the supply and return ducts, seal off the vents, loosen the dust with rotary brushes and pull it out through a HEPA-filtered vacuum. The airflow is checked before we leave.
How a duct cleaning runsDuct replacement
For ductwork that is rusted, moldy, leaking or simply old. We inspect the system, take out the runs that are failing and put in new, properly sealed ducts. We replace only what needs it.
Signs it is time to replaceFor businesses, buildings and buyers
- Commercial dryer vent cleaning
For Tampa businesses that run a dryer every day, such as salons, gyms and small laundries. Their vent runs are longer and fill with lint faster, so we clean them on a schedule that suits the business.
- Apartment, condo & HOA dryer vents
For landlords, condo boards and property managers. We clean every dryer vent in the building on one agreed schedule, unit after unit, and you deal with one contact for the whole job.
- Dryer vent inspection & airflow test
We look at the whole vent and check the airflow at the outside cover. It is worth doing before you buy a house, after a new dryer goes in or when something smells hot.
Why call us
One visit for the dryer vent and the AC ducts.
Lint that builds up in a dryer vent is a fire risk and makes the dryer work harder. Dust, pollen and pet dander in AC ducts keep circulating through the house. We deal with both, in homes and in businesses.

Know the signs
Is the dryer vent clogged? Six clues
A blocked vent traps hot, damp air inside the dryer. These are the ways it shows.
One load, two cycles
Towels and jeans still damp at the end of a normal cycle usually mean the moist air has nowhere to go.
The dryer is hot to the touch
If the top or sides feel much hotter than they used to after a load, heat is building up instead of leaving.
It smells like something is burning
Turn the dryer off. Lint near the heat source can scorch, and the vent should be checked before the next load.
Lint behind the dryer or outside
Lint gathering on the floor behind the dryer, or around the vent cover on the outside wall, points to a restricted line.
Energy bills creeping up
A dryer that runs longer to do the same work uses more power. A higher bill with no other explanation is worth a look.
The outside flap stays shut
Run the dryer and look at the vent cover outside. If the flap does not open, lint or a bird’s nest may be holding it closed.
How a visit goes
We inspect, clean, test the airflow and tell you what we found.
Inspection
We look at the vent or the duct system for blockages, damage and poor installation before any cleaning starts.
Deep cleaning
Lint, debris and clogs come out of the entire line with professional tools, and duct dust goes into a sealed HEPA vacuum.
Safety check
We test the airflow to confirm the dryer is venting properly, or that air moves freely through the ducts.

Common questions
How often does a dryer vent need cleaning in Tampa?
Once a year for most homes. A big household, or a dryer that runs most days, fills the vent faster and may need it sooner. Tampa’s humidity helps lint stick inside the duct, so the yearly cleaning is worth keeping even when the dryer seems fine.
How long does a visit take?
A dryer vent cleaning usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. Air duct cleaning takes 1 to 3 hours, depending on the size of the system, and a duct replacement takes 1 to 2 days.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. The estimate costs nothing and commits you to nothing. For duct work we inspect the system first, so the price reflects what your home actually needs.
Which areas do you serve?
Tampa and eleven nearby places in Hillsborough County, including Temple Terrace, Town 'n' Country, Westchase, Carrollwood, Lutz, Brandon and Riverview, plus four Pinellas cities: Largo, Clearwater, Pinellas Park and St. Petersburg. The full list is on the service areas page. If your town is not listed, call and ask.
I clean the lint trap every load. Is that not enough?
It helps, but the trap only catches part of the lint. The rest passes into the vent line and builds up there, where you cannot reach it. That buildup is what a vent cleaning removes.
Do you work for businesses too?
Yes. Any business with a dryer, such as a salon, a gym or a small laundry, has the same lint problem as a home, only faster. See commercial dryer vent cleaning.
Have the vent cleaned before it becomes a problem.
The U.S. Fire Administration reports that home dryer fires climb in the fall and winter. A typical dryer vent cleaning takes 30 to 60 minutes.
