Your dryer may seem like it’s working fine, but hidden lint buildup inside the vent line can be a serious fire hazard and efficiency problem. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, clothes dryers account for thousands of residential fires each year. Problems usually show up long before a complete blockage: longer dry times, hotter laundry rooms, and rising utility bills are all early warning signs. Professional dryer vent cleaning removes the lint, dust, and obstructions that cause wear and fire risk—keeping your family safe and your dryer running efficiently.
When & Why to Clean
- Annual Service — Most homes need dryer vent cleaning once a year.
- Official Guidelines — The U.S. Fire Administration advises cleaning dryer vent pipes every 3 months for maximum safety. See USFA data.
- Long Vents / Interior Dryers — Homes where the dryer isn’t on an exterior wall often need more frequent service.
- Warning Signs —
- Clothes taking longer to dry
- Lint on clothes or around the dryer
- Laundry room hotter than normal
- Dryer shutting off mid-cycle
- Costly Damage Prevention — Putting it off can lead to overheated dryers, tripped thermostats, higher utility bills, and even premature replacement.
Red Flags – What to Avoid
- Waiting for a “full blockage.” Problems start well before that—don’t ignore early signs like long dry times or a hot laundry room.
- Replacing parts (or the dryer) before checking the vent. Restricted airflow can mimic “equipment failure” and trip safety thermostats.
- Assuming long vent runs/interior dryers are fine without annual cleaning. These setups typically need more frequent service.

Dryer Vent Cleaning FAQs
Have questions about dryer vent cleaning? Here are the most common ones customers ask. Click to read more details.
How often should I clean my dryer vent?
- Most homes: annually.
- Interior-wall/long runs: more often.
- Official safety guidance: every 3 months.
Why is my dryer hot but clothes aren’t drying?
- That’s classic restricted airflow. Cleaning the vent restores performance.
I just bought a new dryer—do I still need cleaning?
- Yes. Even new dryers connect to old vent lines, which can already be clogged.
What’s the difference between dryer vent cleaning and air duct cleaning?
- Dryer vents exhaust hot air and lint outside; air ducts circulate HVAC air. Both matter, but they’re separate systems.
