About Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services
Dryer Vent Inspection
We perform thorough dryer vent inspections to identify any building code violations or efficiency concerns and will provide expert recommendations for improvement.
Poor construction practices are becoming more common with the rise in construction in the DMV area. We often see ducts improperly connected, improper materials used, and improper covers installed.
If your dryer vent is visibly accessible anywhere in the home, we want to see it. If necessary, we can perform a camera inspection to identify internal problems such as disconnected ducts behind walls and ceilings.
We also have instruments that can check your dryer’s outlet temperature, the back-pressure in your dryer vent and the flow rate in your vent. If there’s a problem, we’ll find it.
We Use Rotary Brushes and Air to Clean Dryer Vents
We clean the entire length of your dryer vent, using a rotary brush and a powerful blower/vacuum. We have simple nylon brushes that work just fine in most cases. If necessary, we can use steel bristle brushes as well. Steel brushes are only necessary in some cases. We use the right tools for the job.
Many other companies, pretending to be professional vent cleaners, will show up with just a shop-vac or a leaf blower. This doesn’t do anything. Lint sticks to the duct and must be mechanically scrubbed with a brush before air will move it.
We Clean Dryer Vents from the Inside
We clean the dryer vent from the inside out and verify that the brush travels the full length of the vent. This is preferred because we can inspect the transition duct (the duct from the dryer to the main duct line).
Transition duct leakage is the number one cause of dryer fires in our experience. Basically, if lint is leaking behind the dryer it gets sucked into the air intake vents on the back of the dryer and can accumulate inside on and around the heater element. Read about our Dryer Cleaning Service to learn more about this.
If you clean the vent from the outside only, you might damage or loosen the transition duct and actually create a fire hazard! There are times when it is appropriate to do this, but it’s not our normal practice.
We ensure your dryer transition duct is hooked up airtight when we’re done. We can also replace the transition duct if necessary.
Lastly, this is a great opportunity to recover lost socks and clean your floor behind the dryer!
Dryer Vent Cover Inspection and Replacement
Most dryer vent problems begin at the vent cover, where the dryer vent exits the home. Clogged screens and guards, bird nests and dampers not opening properly are the primary causes of clogged vents. We will ensure that everything is clean and working properly, even if we have to go on your roof or in your attic.If something needs to be replaced, we will give you our recommendation to make the vent as efficient and safe as possible. For replacements, please see our Bird Guard Installation and Dryer Vent Cover Replacement Services.
Roof Dryer Vent Cleaning
Roof dryer vents are very common in the DMV, particularly in new home construction where the laundry room is on the top floor of the home. Roof dryer vents are more problematic than other vents because you can’t see them and the covers often clog easier.
We are experts in cleaning roof dryer vents. A dryer vent on the roof is not properly cleaned unless the roof cover and flap is cleaned also. This can only be done from the roof or the attic. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Clogged roof vents can cause water damage to your roof. The water from your clothes gets blown up there and soaks into the wood sheathing of your roof.
We can replace your roof dryer vent covers if necessary.

We Clean Your Floor Behind the Dryer
We always leave your home better than we found it and that goes for your laundry room floor. This isn’t an area you get to access often, so we make sure it’s nice and clean before we leave.
We Can Flip Your Dryer Door
It’s incredibly annoying when your washer and dryer doors don’t open the right way. We’ll flip your door for you and make your life easier when moving the clothes from the washer to the dryer.
Dryer Repairs
We repair dryers! Most dryer problems are cause by a clogged dryer vent. We can repair the dryer and clean the dryer vent on the same visit. This can save you a lot of money! Common dryer issues that we repair often are:
Dryer Not getting Hot
Dryer Won't Start
Dryer Turning Off Early/ Before Cycle is Done
Dryer Makes Loud Noises When it Starts
Dryer Making Scraping or Rubbing Noises
Dryer Making Rumbling Noises
Dryer Making Squeaky Noises
Why Dryer vent Cleaning is Important
Safety: Reduced Risk of Fire in Your Home
A recent National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) fire statistical report found the following:
- In 2010-2014, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated average of 15,970 home structure fires involving clothes dryers or washing machines each year.
- These fires caused annual averages of 13 civilian deaths, 444 civilian injuries, and $238 million in direct property damage.
- The vast majority of fires (92%) involved clothes dryers.
Efficiency: Saves You Time and Money
In order to dry your clothes, your dryer must be able to get the water from your clothes to be blown outside of the house, through the dryer vent. If the dryer vent is clogged with lint, this will take longer. The longer your dryer has to run, the more electricity you use and the longer you need to wait for your clothes to be ready.
Save Money on a New Dryer
Are you frustrated with your dryer? Don’t waste money and buy a new one!
New dryers will usually not work any better than old ones. They are very simple machines that just need to be cleaned and connected to a clean vent. In almost every case, a cleaning of the dryer internally and a cleaning of the dryer vent will have your old dryer running like brand new! The following clothes dryer issues are all easily fixed with a cleaning:
- Taking long to dry
- Turning off too soon
- Condensation in the drum
- Check vent/ flow sense error codes
- Getting too hot
Dryer Cleaning - Essential to Preventing Dryer Fires
At Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning, we take dryer maintenance a step further by disassembling and cleaning the interior components of your dryer. This thorough process includes the lint trap, heater, fan, and motor.
Unlike other companies, we understand that cleaning the dryer itself is essential in preventing fires and maintaining optimal performance.
We are trailblazers in this industry for offering this service along with our dryer vent cleaning service. Other companies DO NOT offer this level of service.
