I recently had the team visit to tackle vent cleaning, bird removal, and installing cages to keep new birds from getting into the vents. I was impressed with the work done by both Dennis and James; they handled the vent issues expertly. I wouldn't think twice about calling them again for any future vent cleaning or bird problems. They truly delivered an outstanding service!

This company was a pleasure to work with. The technician took the time to do a thorough cleaning on our very long and twisty dryer vent. He was personable and persistent in navigating through the job. I highly recommend Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning.

Highly recommend this company! It was easy to schedule; the price was reasonable. Don was professional, arrived on time, and did a great job cleaning our dryer vent. He even shortened the ductwork by 2-3 feet to make it more efficient. We’ll definitely call them to do this again in a few years and, at that time, have them open up the dryer and remove lint from inside.

I am so pleased with the work done by James from Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning. After speaking with the owner, I got a fair price to have my dryer completely cleaned (other companies would not give a price over the phone). My technician, James, was punctual, professional, and polite. He explained and showed me everything that he was doing. He took his time and cleaned up afterwards. I would highly recommend this company .

Dennis, of Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning, saved the day yesterday. My dryer was not drying. The clothes were coming out moist! I noticed the vent flap on the outside of the house was not opening. It’s 20+ feet off the ground. No way I could get to it. I called several companies to no avail. Finally reached Dennis around 1:30 or so. Said he had a job in McLean but thought he could get to me after that. Sure enough, around 4PM, I got a text saying he’d be to me in 15 minutes! It was getting dark now, but he quickly put up a ladder to discover the vent flap was pretty rusty and needed replaced. No doubt as it was metal and had been up there for about 24 years. He removed the existing assembly, installed a new and better vent assembly, and caulked around it. We tested it by turning on the dryer. The new flap assembly now opened to let moist hot air out the vent pipe and the clothes I put back in the dryer dried quickly. Dennis went way beyond what I could have expected. I am recommending him to my neighbors and will only use him when the need arises. Much thanks Dennis!!!

What can I add that I has not been written already about Urban Dryer Vent Cleaning? I scheduled an appointment via text. Don, the technician, came Saturday afternoon. He was friendly and professional. He provided photos. Wow, the vent was really clogged with lint! The cleanup was thorough, and the only evidence Don was here is how well the dryer is now performing!

They did a great job both cleaning the vent and dryer! Having only owned my home a few years I didn’t know when it was last serviced and they had it looking brand new. Also were very prompt in scheduling and coming out. Would recommend highly!
Meghan Kramer
13:30 03 Oct 24
Just the best customer service. So easy to book and communicate, punctual service and super thorough. I thought we just needed a vent cleaning and that’s why our dryer was setting of the error code, (which we absolutely did) but there was also a part that needed replacing. Even though my appointment was later in the day, the owner still went to the store to buy the part and came back to do the repair that evening. Would recommend to anyone and will absolutely use moving forward.
David Federman

This is a company you can trust to do the work well at a fair price. We had a semi “emergency” when we noticed heat in our laundry room. Access to the dryer prohibited me from determining what was happening behind the unit. Urbana Dryer and Vent responded promptly to my call. The technician, James, moved the unit and discovered the exhaust hose had become disconnected from the wall due to a poor installation 3 years ago. He not only thoroughly cleaned the area and vent piping but fixed the problem by modifying the wall connection making it more secure than the simple tape connection done originally. The tape had failed due to the heat in the exhaust.

I had Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning come out to clear two exhaust vents from our bathroom where a few birds decided to build a nest a few months back. The air exhaust flow was not great, so we decided to go with Urbana Vent Cleaning as they had excellent on-line reviews. We couldn't be more satisified! James kept us apprised of what he planned to do -- clean out vents, place a barrier screen for both vents, and clean up twig piles of twigs he extracted from both vents as well as provide a price for the services. James did an outstanding job during the entire job and I would highly recommend him and Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning services!

Excellent experience with Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning! Our transition duct burst open and was venting dust and moisture into the finished basement. Urbana DVC came the same day, replaced the duct with a more sturdy material, cleaned the clogged lint from the back of the dryer and made sure the vent outside was blowing properly. Very personable, efficient and honored the quoted price given during the phone consultation. James took before and after photos to show the dramatic improvement and I have eliminated the fear of a fire hazard from compacted lint sparked by the dryer heating element.
Judith Clark
17:21 14 Aug 24
Wow, great service! I needed my dryer cleaned and the outside dryer vent replaced. Dennis explained what they would do and sent Don out. Don got so much lint out and the air flow to outside vent is now very strong. This company knows what they are doing and is very friendly. I highly recommend them. Thanks Dennis and Don.

Dennis was extremely responsive to my request for dryer vent cleaning. They took time to understand my issues and then spent time to work through the dryer problems. The prices were upfront and James walked me through what he did and how to alleviate future issues. I highly recommend this company and will use them in the future (here’s hoping I don’t need too but…!)

Got an appointment quickly due to a cancellation. Had the dryer vent cleaned at both my house and a relative's in the neighborhood. A very nice young man arrived right on time, he cleaned the vents and cleaned up after himself both indoors and out. And the price was reasonable. Both dryers are now drying beautifully. I plan to have Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning do this regularly for us to avoid problems in the future. Thank you!

Could not give Urbana Dryer Vent enough stars. Dennis, owner, was fantastic. Called for a dryer that would not get hot. clogged vent vs heating element. He came prepared for everything. Diagnosed the issue quickly as a wiring issue. Easy to work with, helpful. Quick fix (and he had the needed parts) but did a full dryer service while he was there. Super friendly and helpful

We called for dryer vent service. Dennis was very friendly and said he would try to get someone out that afternoon. Sure enough James, our technician showed up and cleaned our dryer vent. He did a great job. We also had a problem with nesting birds in an exhaust vent. The next day James came back and cleaned the exhaust vent and put a cover over the vent to stop the problem from coming back. Very satisfied with Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning company, would highly recommend.
Pam Koppel
20:09 05 Aug 24

Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning is amazing. They do more than vent cleaning; they also repair dryers. Their skilled technician, James, brought my 30-year-old dryer back from the dead, to functioning condition. Dennis, the owner, has a lot of integrity. He is responsible, responsive, and his pricing is extremely fair. Urbana comes highly recommended!

A competitor was booking appointments 3 weeks out so I used Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning. It was really easy to make an appointment online. The owner came he was very thorough. He helped answer questions for venting the dryer for a remodel, cleaned vent, installed a new tube, replaced a cheap plastic bird cage with a new metal one and told us how to clean and when. Follow up visits are discounted $50. Very impressed and happy!

We had a torn hole in our dryer vent hose and called Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning. We received a very reasonable quote and scheduled for the next day. Dennis was extremely professional and kind through the entire process. He was not only thorough in his work, but also in explaining everything, including how we can do basic maintenance and monitoring to keep things working well and reduce fire hazards. 24 hours later, the issue has been fixed for a low price, I feel confident in the work and taking care of things moving forward, and know exactly who I will call next time I have another dryer need.

My dryer is one year old and this mess came out of the door! My dryer duct to the outside was clogged, not allowing natural air flow.
Dennis left my laundry room clean.
Thank you!

Dennis was great! On time and professional. We have had our vent cleaned before but never the inside of the dryer. Like that he gets up into the attic to check the connections and not just cleans the vent. The dryer is 9 years old and it is running just like the first day I got it. Clothes are drying faster than before the cleaning.
Joe Dillon

Dennis was great. He came late at night in order to fit us in before the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, which was a lifesaver as we were not able to use our dryer. He fixed the issue and cleaned up the poor venting job done by a previous company. Highly recommend him.

Dennis is a true professional and an absolute master of his craft! I honestly believe that he prevented a total disaster by fire as not only was the dryer vent fully clogged with years of the previous homeowners neglect, but the dryer internals were also filled to the point where ignition could have occurred at any time. Wow! Thank you Dennis for what you did today, your excellent service and attention to detail went way beyond my expectations... Also know that if I could give you a 10 star review, it simply wouldn't be enough... This was the best service encounter in the past few years...

Don't call anyone else! Dennis is extremely professional and knowledgeable about what he does. He took my entire dryer apart and showed me all the lint and hair that was building up inside. He vacuumed and cleaned it all up until it looked like new, and then proceeded to clean the duct and vent outside. He is very polite and came out within a day of my call. I highly recommend him!

Dennis at Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning serviced our completely clogged dryer vent and for the first time in years, our dryer is working as it should be, without having to run it through multiple cycles to get clothes dried! Dennis was patient and creative in resolving our vent issues.

Dennis from Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning just cleaned my dryer vent. He was awesome! He showed me where we were very close to having a fire in the dryer from the build up of lint near the motor. He took apart the dryer to get all the lint that was in the dryer parts inside. This lint can start a fire more easily than the lint in the vent. He showed me all the lint that he blasted outside and made sure a clog in the middle was evacuated as well. Then he made sure everything was working and vacuumed up before he left! Definitely would recommend this company to everyone! We are in Ellicott City.

Dennis went above and beyond cleaning out our dryer of lint and dryer vent in our 3-level townhome in Urbana, which vents out up through our roof. Bad design! In only a few years of living here it was a terrible mess. Thank goodness we called him. He did an excellent job and has very reasonable rates. Highly recommend his services.

Just had Dennis from Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning, LLC out to clean our dryer vent and dryer. I highly recommend his services for that added peace of mind. Beyond the cleaning, he also provided valuable insight into how the bad stuff can happen if ignored. Another item checked off my honey-do list! Give him a call TODAY!!

Dennis did a great job cleaning our dryer vent, which was almost completely blocked! He was able to stop by and clean it out just 1 day after I called. If you don't remember when you last had your dryer vent cleaned and notice your clothes are taking longer to dry, get him to come check it out - it can be a real fire hazard. Dennis is knowledgeable, professional, and very nice.

Really appreciate the great service. Showed up on time, and took the time to find the correct issue with the dryer vent, and it was not due to lint build up. Fixed the issue, for a very reasonable price (less than what was quoted since it took less effort!). Excellent service!

It had been a while since we last had our dryer vent cleaned. Dennis was professional and got the job done right. Highly recommend!

I recently had the team visit to tackle vent cleaning, bird removal, and installing cages to keep new birds from getting into the vents. I was impressed with the work done by both Dennis and James; they handled the vent issues expertly. I wouldn't think twice about calling them again for any future vent cleaning or bird problems. They truly delivered an outstanding service!

Highly recommend this company! It was easy to schedule; the price was reasonable. Don was professional, arrived on time, and did a great job cleaning our dryer vent. He even shortened the ductwork by 2-3 feet to make it more efficient. We’ll definitely call them to do this again in a few years and, at that time, have them open up the dryer and remove lint from inside.

I am so pleased with the work done by James from Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning. After speaking with the owner, I got a fair price to have my dryer completely cleaned (other companies would not give a price over the phone). My technician, James, was punctual, professional, and polite. He explained and showed me everything that he was doing. He took his time and cleaned up afterwards. I would highly recommend this company .

Dennis, of Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning, saved the day yesterday. My dryer was not drying. The clothes were coming out moist! I noticed the vent flap on the outside of the house was not opening. It’s 20+ feet off the ground. No way I could get to it. I called several companies to no avail. Finally reached Dennis around 1:30 or so. Said he had a job in McLean but thought he could get to me after that. Sure enough, around 4PM, I got a text saying he’d be to me in 15 minutes! It was getting dark now, but he quickly put up a ladder to discover the vent flap was pretty rusty and needed replaced. No doubt as it was metal and had been up there for about 24 years. He removed the existing assembly, installed a new and better vent assembly, and caulked around it. We tested it by turning on the dryer. The new flap assembly now opened to let moist hot air out the vent pipe and the clothes I put back in the dryer dried quickly. Dennis went way beyond what I could have expected. I am recommending him to my neighbors and will only use him when the need arises. Much thanks Dennis!!!

Meghan Kramer

Just the best customer service. So easy to book and communicate, punctual service and super thorough. I thought we just needed a vent cleaning and that’s why our dryer was setting of the error code, (which we absolutely did) but there was also a part that needed replacing. Even though my appointment was later in the day, the owner still went to the store to buy the part and came back to do the repair that evening. Would recommend to anyone and will absolutely use moving forward.

This is a company you can trust to do the work well at a fair price. We had a semi “emergency” when we noticed heat in our laundry room. Access to the dryer prohibited me from determining what was happening behind the unit. Urbana Dryer and Vent responded promptly to my call. The technician, James, moved the unit and discovered the exhaust hose had become disconnected from the wall due to a poor installation 3 years ago. He not only thoroughly cleaned the area and vent piping but fixed the problem by modifying the wall connection making it more secure than the simple tape connection done originally. The tape had failed due to the heat in the exhaust.

I had Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning come out to clear two exhaust vents from our bathroom where a few birds decided to build a nest a few months back. The air exhaust flow was not great, so we decided to go with Urbana Vent Cleaning as they had excellent on-line reviews. We couldn't be more satisified! James kept us apprised of what he planned to do -- clean out vents, place a barrier screen for both vents, and clean up twig piles of twigs he extracted from both vents as well as provide a price for the services. James did an outstanding job during the entire job and I would highly recommend him and Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning services!

Excellent experience with Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning! Our transition duct burst open and was venting dust and moisture into the finished basement. Urbana DVC came the same day, replaced the duct with a more sturdy material, cleaned the clogged lint from the back of the dryer and made sure the vent outside was blowing properly. Very personable, efficient and honored the quoted price given during the phone consultation. James took before and after photos to show the dramatic improvement and I have eliminated the fear of a fire hazard from compacted lint sparked by the dryer heating element.
Judith Clark
17:21 14 Aug 24
Wow, great service! I needed my dryer cleaned and the outside dryer vent replaced. Dennis explained what they would do and sent Don out. Don got so much lint out and the air flow to outside vent is now very strong. This company knows what they are doing and is very friendly. I highly recommend them. Thanks Dennis and Don.

Got an appointment quickly due to a cancellation. Had the dryer vent cleaned at both my house and a relative's in the neighborhood. A very nice young man arrived right on time, he cleaned the vents and cleaned up after himself both indoors and out. And the price was reasonable. Both dryers are now drying beautifully. I plan to have Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning do this regularly for us to avoid problems in the future. Thank you!

Could not give Urbana Dryer Vent enough stars. Dennis, owner, was fantastic. Called for a dryer that would not get hot. clogged vent vs heating element. He came prepared for everything. Diagnosed the issue quickly as a wiring issue. Easy to work with, helpful. Quick fix (and he had the needed parts) but did a full dryer service while he was there. Super friendly and helpful

We called for dryer vent service. Dennis was very friendly and said he would try to get someone out that afternoon. Sure enough James, our technician showed up and cleaned our dryer vent. He did a great job. We also had a problem with nesting birds in an exhaust vent. The next day James came back and cleaned the exhaust vent and put a cover over the vent to stop the problem from coming back. Very satisfied with Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning company, would highly recommend.

Dennis was extremely professional and kind through the entire process. He was not only thorough in his work, but also in explaining everything, including how we can do basic maintenance and monitoring to keep things working well and reduce fire hazards. 24 hours later, the issue has been fixed for a low price, I feel confident in the work and taking care of things moving forward, and know exactly who I will call next time I have another dryer need.

Dennis went above and beyond cleaning my dryer. The build up in our dryer was so bad that we would of burnt the house down next time we were doing a load of laundry. Dennis was very responsive when I called him on a short notice. I will be recommending him to all friends, family and colleagues.

Dennis is highly recommended to service your dryer (safety) needs.
My dryer is one year old and this mess came out of the door! My dryer duct to the outside was clogged, not allowing natural air flow.
Dennis left my laundry room clean.
Thank you!

Dennis was great! On time and professional. We have had our vent cleaned before but never the inside of the dryer. Like that he gets up into the attic to check the connections and not just cleans the vent. The dryer is 9 years old and it is running just like the first day I got it. Clothes are drying faster than before the cleaning.

Prompt, thorough, professional. Dennis had the tools and know-how to identify and repair an open joint in the dryer vent duct above a drywall ceiling. So glad I called to have this work done.

Dennis was great. He came late at night in order to fit us in before the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, which was a lifesaver as we were not able to use our dryer. He fixed the issue and cleaned up the poor venting job done by a previous company. Highly recommend him.

Prompt and professional. They went the extra mile to help move the dryer in and out of a tight space to fully clean the vents! Highly recommended!

Dennis was very responsive and quick to schedule an appointment with. He diagnosed the issue with our dryer duct after others hadn’t been able to fix it. His pricing was also very reasonable. I definitely would call him again!

Dennis is a true professional and an absolute master of his craft! I honestly believe that he prevented a total disaster by fire as not only was the dryer vent fully clogged with years of the previous homeowners neglect, but the dryer internals were also filled to the point where ignition could have occurred at any time. Wow! Thank you Dennis for what you did today, your excellent service and attention to detail went way beyond my expectations... Also know that if I could give you a 10 star review, it simply wouldn't be enough... This was the best service encounter in the past few years...

Highly recommend. Excellent service & professionalism. Dennis worked with our crazy schedule and was super accommodating. He pulled burnt lint out of our dryer motor & potentially saved us from a destroyed dryer and/or a house fire.
Christine Hallford

Dennis responded and we had next day service. He cleaned all out and showed the mess he was cleaning. He also re-attached the vent in the attic for us. I highly recomend his services! He was fantastic!
Jamie Steppa Wollner
17:45 06 Apr 18
Don't call anyone else! Dennis is extremely professional and knowledgeable about what he does. He took my entire dryer apart and showed me all the lint and hair that was building up inside. He vacuumed and cleaned it all up until it looked like new, and then proceeded to clean the duct and vent outside. He is very polite and came out within a day of my call. I highly recommend him!
Lori Stapleton

Dennis at Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning serviced our completely clogged dryer vent and for the first time in years, our dryer is working as it should be, without having to run it through multiple cycles to get clothes dried! Dennis was patient and creative in resolving our vent issues.
Kim Pullen
23:52 05 Feb 18
Dennis from Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning just cleaned my dryer vent. He was awesome! He showed me where we were very close to having a fire in the dryer from the build up of lint near the motor. He took apart the dryer to get all the lint that was in the dryer parts inside. This lint can start a fire more easily than the lint in the vent. He showed me all the lint that he blasted outside and made sure a clog in the middle was evacuated as well. Then he made sure everything was working and vacuumed up before he left! Definitely would recommend this company to everyone! We are in Ellicott City.

Dennis went above and beyond cleaning out our dryer of lint and dryer vent in our 3-level townhome in Urbana, which vents out up through our roof. Bad design! In only a few years of living here it was a terrible mess. Thank goodness we called him. He did an excellent job and has very reasonable rates. Highly recommend his services.

Just had Dennis from Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning, LLC out to clean our dryer vent and dryer. I highly recommend his services for that added peace of mind. Beyond the cleaning, he also provided valuable insight into how the bad stuff can happen if ignored. Another item checked off my honey-do list! Give him a call TODAY!!
Beth Berkowitz
17:44 01 Aug 17
Dennis did a great job cleaning our dryer vent, which was almost completely blocked! He was able to stop by and clean it out just 1 day after I called. If you don't remember when you last had your dryer vent cleaned and notice your clothes are taking longer to dry, get him to come check it out - it can be a real fire hazard. Dennis is knowledgeable, professional, and very nice.
Adnan Mamoon
22:57 24 Jul 17
Really appreciate the great service. Showed up on time, and took the time to find the correct issue with the dryer vent, and it was not due to lint build up. Fixed the issue, for a very reasonable price (less than what was quoted since it took less effort!). Excellent service!

It had been a while since we last had our dryer vent cleaned. Dennis was professional and got the job done right. Highly recommend!

I recently had the team visit to tackle vent cleaning, bird removal, and installing cages to keep new birds from getting into the vents. I was impressed with the work done by both Dennis and James; they handled the vent issues expertly. I wouldn't think twice about calling them again for any future vent cleaning or bird problems. They truly delivered an outstanding service!

Highly recommend this company! It was easy to schedule; the price was reasonable. Don was professional, arrived on time, and did a great job cleaning our dryer vent. He even shortened the ductwork by 2-3 feet to make it more efficient. We’ll definitely call them to do this again in a few years and, at that time, have them open up the dryer and remove lint from inside.

I am so pleased with the work done by James from Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning. After speaking with the owner, I got a fair price to have my dryer completely cleaned (other companies would not give a price over the phone). My technician, James, was punctual, professional, and polite. He explained and showed me everything that he was doing. He took his time and cleaned up afterwards. I would highly recommend this company .

Dennis, of Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning, saved the day yesterday. My dryer was not drying. The clothes were coming out moist! I noticed the vent flap on the outside of the house was not opening. It’s 20+ feet off the ground. No way I could get to it. I called several companies to no avail. Finally reached Dennis around 1:30 or so. Said he had a job in McLean but thought he could get to me after that. Sure enough, around 4PM, I got a text saying he’d be to me in 15 minutes! It was getting dark now, but he quickly put up a ladder to discover the vent flap was pretty rusty and needed replaced. No doubt as it was metal and had been up there for about 24 years. He removed the existing assembly, installed a new and better vent assembly, and caulked around it. We tested it by turning on the dryer. The new flap assembly now opened to let moist hot air out the vent pipe and the clothes I put back in the dryer dried quickly. Dennis went way beyond what I could have expected. I am recommending him to my neighbors and will only use him when the need arises. Much thanks Dennis!!!

What can I add that I has not been written already about Urban Dryer Vent Cleaning? I scheduled an appointment via text. Don, the technician, came Saturday afternoon. He was friendly and professional. He provided photos. Wow, the vent was really clogged with lint! The cleanup was thorough, and the only evidence Don was here is how well the dryer is now performing!

Meghan Kramer

Just the best customer service. So easy to book and communicate, punctual service and super thorough. I thought we just needed a vent cleaning and that’s why our dryer was setting of the error code, (which we absolutely did) but there was also a part that needed replacing. Even though my appointment was later in the day, the owner still went to the store to buy the part and came back to do the repair that evening. Would recommend to anyone and will absolutely use moving forward.

This is a company you can trust to do the work well at a fair price. We had a semi “emergency” when we noticed heat in our laundry room. Access to the dryer prohibited me from determining what was happening behind the unit. Urbana Dryer and Vent responded promptly to my call. The technician, James, moved the unit and discovered the exhaust hose had become disconnected from the wall due to a poor installation 3 years ago. He not only thoroughly cleaned the area and vent piping but fixed the problem by modifying the wall connection making it more secure than the simple tape connection done originally. The tape had failed due to the heat in the exhaust.

I had Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning come out to clear two exhaust vents from our bathroom where a few birds decided to build a nest a few months back. The air exhaust flow was not great, so we decided to go with Urbana Vent Cleaning as they had excellent on-line reviews. We couldn't be more satisified! James kept us apprised of what he planned to do -- clean out vents, place a barrier screen for both vents, and clean up twig piles of twigs he extracted from both vents as well as provide a price for the services. James did an outstanding job during the entire job and I would highly recommend him and Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning services!

Excellent experience with Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning! Our transition duct burst open and was venting dust and moisture into the finished basement. Urbana DVC came the same day, replaced the duct with a more sturdy material, cleaned the clogged lint from the back of the dryer and made sure the vent outside was blowing properly. Very personable, efficient and honored the quoted price given during the phone consultation. James took before and after photos to show the dramatic improvement and I have eliminated the fear of a fire hazard from compacted lint sparked by the dryer heating element.
Judith Clark
17:21 14 Aug 24
Wow, great service! I needed my dryer cleaned and the outside dryer vent replaced. Dennis explained what they would do and sent Don out. Don got so much lint out and the air flow to outside vent is now very strong. This company knows what they are doing and is very friendly. I highly recommend them. Thanks Dennis and Don.

Got an appointment quickly due to a cancellation. Had the dryer vent cleaned at both my house and a relative's in the neighborhood. A very nice young man arrived right on time, he cleaned the vents and cleaned up after himself both indoors and out. And the price was reasonable. Both dryers are now drying beautifully. I plan to have Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning do this regularly for us to avoid problems in the future. Thank you!

Could not give Urbana Dryer Vent enough stars. Dennis, owner, was fantastic. Called for a dryer that would not get hot. clogged vent vs heating element. He came prepared for everything. Diagnosed the issue quickly as a wiring issue. Easy to work with, helpful. Quick fix (and he had the needed parts) but did a full dryer service while he was there. Super friendly and helpful

We called for dryer vent service. Dennis was very friendly and said he would try to get someone out that afternoon. Sure enough James, our technician showed up and cleaned our dryer vent. He did a great job. We also had a problem with nesting birds in an exhaust vent. The next day James came back and cleaned the exhaust vent and put a cover over the vent to stop the problem from coming back. Very satisfied with Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning company, would highly recommend.

Great service. Dennis was able to come out within a couple of days of my contacting him. He did a thorough cleaning of our dryer vent and was quick and efficient in the process. He made sure to clean up the laundry room floor before leaving. I highly recommend using Dennis.

Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning is amazing. They do more than vent cleaning; they also repair dryers. Their skilled technician, James, brought my 30-year-old dryer back from the dead, to functioning condition. Dennis, the owner, has a lot of integrity. He is responsible, responsive, and his pricing is extremely fair. Urbana comes highly recommended!

So easy to schedule & Dennis took his time and explained the process to us and let us know everything he was doing before he did it. He also let my 5 & 2 Yr old watch what he was doing. I would highly recommend and I will be scheduling regular maintenance with him.

A competitor was booking appointments 3 weeks out so I used Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning. It was really easy to make an appointment online. The owner came he was very thorough. He helped answer questions for venting the dryer for a remodel, cleaned vent, installed a new tube, replaced a cheap plastic bird cage with a new metal one and told us how to clean and when. Follow up visits are discounted $50. Very impressed and happy!

As a real estate professional, I know how important it is to hire the best in the industry! Dennis explained proper maintenance, what hazards could exist and thoroughly took care of the clog even giving me advanced explanations on why/how to keep critters out. He was honest, professional, knowledgeable and I will hire him for our next house too!

As soon as I had a problem Dennis came out and helped to resolve the issue. Fixed the dryer and cleaned the dryer vent. As always, glad I called him to come out. Highly recommend.

Dennis was extremely thorough. Found a dead bird that somehow made its way all the way thru the venting coil to the base of the dryer. He even installed a much better cage on the exterior vent on a rainy night.

We had a torn hole in our dryer vent hose and called Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning. We received a very reasonable quote and scheduled for the next day. Dennis was extremely professional and kind through the entire process. He was not only thorough in his work, but also in explaining everything, including how we can do basic maintenance and monitoring to keep things working well and reduce fire hazards. 24 hours later, the issue has been fixed for a low price, I feel confident in the work and taking care of things moving forward, and know exactly who I will call next time I have another dryer need.

Excellent experience! Very knowledgeable and obviously knows what he is doing. Let me know price upfront, came in a timely manner, explained everything, and gave some helpful hints and tips for the future. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to have their dryer vents (or dryer) cleaned.

Dennis went above and beyond cleaning my dryer. The build up in our dryer was so bad that we would of burnt the house down next time we were doing a load of laundry. Dennis was very responsive when I called him on a short notice. I will be recommending him to all friends, family and colleagues.

Dennis is highly recommended to service your dryer (safety) needs.
My dryer is one year old and this mess came out of the door! My dryer duct to the outside was clogged, not allowing natural air flow.
Dennis left my laundry room clean.
Thank you!

Dennis was great! On time and professional. We have had our vent cleaned before but never the inside of the dryer. Like that he gets up into the attic to check the connections and not just cleans the vent. The dryer is 9 years old and it is running just like the first day I got it. Clothes are drying faster than before the cleaning.

Prompt, thorough, professional. Dennis had the tools and know-how to identify and repair an open joint in the dryer vent duct above a drywall ceiling. So glad I called to have this work done.

Dennis was great. He came late at night in order to fit us in before the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, which was a lifesaver as we were not able to use our dryer. He fixed the issue and cleaned up the poor venting job done by a previous company. Highly recommend him.

Dennis is a true professional and an absolute master of his craft! I honestly believe that he prevented a total disaster by fire as not only was the dryer vent fully clogged with years of the previous homeowners neglect, but the dryer internals were also filled to the point where ignition could have occurred at any time. Wow! Thank you Dennis for what you did today, your excellent service and attention to detail went way beyond my expectations... Also know that if I could give you a 10 star review, it simply wouldn't be enough... This was the best service encounter in the past few years...

Highly recommend. Excellent service & professionalism. Dennis worked with our crazy schedule and was super accommodating. He pulled burnt lint out of our dryer motor & potentially saved us from a destroyed dryer and/or a house fire.

Dennis responded and we had next day service. He cleaned all out and showed the mess he was cleaning. He also re-attached the vent in the attic for us. I highly recomend his services! He was fantastic!

Don't call anyone else! Dennis is extremely professional and knowledgeable about what he does. He took my entire dryer apart and showed me all the lint and hair that was building up inside. He vacuumed and cleaned it all up until it looked like new, and then proceeded to clean the duct and vent outside. He is very polite and came out within a day of my call. I highly recommend him!

Dennis at Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning serviced our completely clogged dryer vent and for the first time in years, our dryer is working as it should be, without having to run it through multiple cycles to get clothes dried! Dennis was patient and creative in resolving our vent issues.

Dennis from Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning just cleaned my dryer vent. He was awesome! He showed me where we were very close to having a fire in the dryer from the build up of lint near the motor. He took apart the dryer to get all the lint that was in the dryer parts inside. This lint can start a fire more easily than the lint in the vent. He showed me all the lint that he blasted outside and made sure a clog in the middle was evacuated as well. Then he made sure everything was working and vacuumed up before he left! Definitely would recommend this company to everyone! We are in Ellicott City.

Dennis went above and beyond cleaning out our dryer of lint and dryer vent in our 3-level townhome in Urbana, which vents out up through our roof. Bad design! In only a few years of living here it was a terrible mess. Thank goodness we called him. He did an excellent job and has very reasonable rates. Highly recommend his services.

Just had Dennis from Urbana Dryer Vent Cleaning, LLC out to clean our dryer vent and dryer. I highly recommend his services for that added peace of mind. Beyond the cleaning, he also provided valuable insight into how the bad stuff can happen if ignored. Another item checked off my honey-do list! Give him a call TODAY!!
Beth Berkowitz

Dennis did a great job cleaning our dryer vent, which was almost completely blocked! He was able to stop by and clean it out just 1 day after I called. If you don't remember when you last had your dryer vent cleaned and notice your clothes are taking longer to dry, get him to come check it out - it can be a real fire hazard. Dennis is knowledgeable, professional, and very nice.

Really appreciate the great service. Showed up on time, and took the time to find the correct issue with the dryer vent, and it was not due to lint build up. Fixed the issue, for a very reasonable price (less than what was quoted since it took less effort!). Excellent service!

It had been a while since we last had our dryer vent cleaned. Dennis was professional and got the job done right. Highly recommend!

Why is it Important to Have Your Dryer Cleaned?
Dryers Are a Major Fire Risk 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.
This business was actually started when there were multiple fires in one week in Urbana, MD back in 2017. Check out the About Us page to read that story. We still see dryer fires quite often.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Alone, Doesn't Prevent Dryer Fires
- All the dryer fires we have seen have been caused by lint building up inside the dryer on and around the heater element.
- A basic dryer vent cleaning service does not actually eliminate the hazard of a dryer fire, it will only minimize the extent of the fire.
We can clean your dryer and your dryer vent on the same visit. All of our technicians are trained and proficient at disassembling and cleaning dryers.
How Does Lint Build Up Inside the Dryer?
Lint builds up inside the dryer in two ways:
- Internal leakage – The seals around the lint trap and fan connections aren’t built to be perfectly airtight. Typically this leakage is minimal, however certain dryer models are known to be have leakage issues.
- Lint from behind the dryer gets sucked into the dryer – The dryer has intake vents on the back of the dryer. If there is lint leaking from the dryer exhaust, it will get sucked into the dryer intake vents. Over time it builds up inside the dryer, where it can eventually get ignited. Lint leakage behind the dryer occurs when the transition duct is damaged or improperly attached.

When Should You Have the Dryer Cleaned Internally?
We recommend having the dryer cleaned internally:
- Every 5 years: This will ensure that any normal internal lint leakage doesn’t accumulate to the point of becoming a fire hazard.
- If you notice a lot of lint leakage behind the dryer, especially if the intake vents are covered in lint.

Benefits of Dryer Cleaning
Reduced Risk of Dryer Fires
This is an obvious benefit. If you remove the fuel (lint) from the ignition source (heater), your risk of a lint fire goes way down.
Improved Efficiency & Prevent Overheating
When we do our dryer cleaning service, we also clean the fan, lint trap and lint screen. The air has to flow through all these areas. If the fan is clogged, the dryer won’t blow well. If the lint screen is dirty or the lint trap is clogged, the air won’t flow through there well either. All these areas need to be clean to allow your dryer to run optimally. This will reduce drying times, save money on gas or electric and also prevent your dryer from overheating and potentially blowing thermal fuses or burning out a heater element.
