Our Los Angeles Dryer Vent Cleaning Service

Our dryer vent cleaning service in Los Angeles is built around understanding the complexity of your home and the amount of work at hand, and we come up with the right approach for the entire cleaning.

  1. Inspection – we inspect the entire dryer vent system from behind the dryer to the exit point of the building to know how to deal with bends, kinks, and cracks.
  2. Deciding on the Cleaning methods – we employ different cleaning methods for different situations, either using the Dryer Vent Cleaning Brush method or the Leaf Blower method.
  3. Bird Nest Removal – because birds tend to build nests inside dryer vents (which can block airflow), we help safely get rid of the nests
  4. Screen Removal – we remove screens from dryer vent terminations, whether on the roof or side of the home, especially when they are against building code resulting in dangerous lint accumulations.
  5. Repair – our technicians will do all your vent repairs, from re-taping joints, replacing ducts, removing screws, and ensuring code compliance on your vents.
  6. Dryer Vent Rerouting – we understand the importance of routing your vents to solve airflow restrictions and destroy breeding grounds for molds, fungus, and mildew in your home.
  7. Airflow Check – because we clean your dryer vent intending to improve airflow, our quality checks include airflow inspections to ensure proper airflow and static pressure for indoor air quality and reduction in lint build-up.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

To clean your dryer ducts effectively, we want to ensure that your vent is inspected and cleaned from both ends, removing any obstructions in between. Here is our detailed Los Angeles dryer vent cleaning process:

Diagnostic Assessment

During our in-home visit and consultation, technicians will thoroughly inspect and assess your dryer vent system by checking for blockage, back pressure, and airflow to provide detailed and effective recommendations.

Cleaning

Once we have determined your vent condition, our comprehensive Los Angeles dryer vent cleaning services begin with clog removal, including lint, debris, stray space socks, nests, and other issues. If your dryer vent line is large enough, we will clean your booster fan with the rest of your system.

To break it down:

  1. First, we will clean the outside of your dryer vent to eliminate any lint or debris that has gathered there.
  2. We will then disconnect your dryer and clean the inside of the vent pipe.
  3. We will also clean the inside of your dryer, including the lint trap.
  4. Once done, we will reassemble your dryer and test it to ensure it works properly

Often, the areas of your vents that will get the most attention are the bends and elbows because they build up debris faster than other parts, so we make sure anything inside is vacuumed out.

Sanitizing

Through our dryer vent cleaning process, we will safely sanitize your vent lines against harmful bacteria, viruses and other fungi that can easily build up. Our team understand how different environments may uniquely impact your dryer vent line.

Waste Management

All dryer vent lint and debris are sucked into a vacuum, leaving no mess behind. We leave your home clean, and you will not know we were there.

How to Keep Your Dryer Vent Clean and Safe

  3. Empty the lint trap after every load of laundry.
  4. Never leave the dryer on while you are out of the home or asleep.
  5. Always follow your dryer manufacturer’s operating instructions, and don’t overload the appliance.
  6. Consider our Los Angeles dryer vent cleaning services with regular appliance inspections, especially if you are using a gas dryer.

These simple tips will help you reduce lint build-up in your dryer vent and keep it working smoothly

FAQs

The vent is a ventilation system connecting your dryer to the outside of the house. Your dryer blows hot air through your wet clothes to dry them, and this hot air blows out of the house through the dryer vent, along with pieces of lint.

It is helpful if you can remove anything on or around the dryer, including all the clothing from the dryer, so our technicians can have easy access to inspect and clean your vent as quickly and easily.

We can clean your dryer vent from outside the house, but it would be more effective if we could clean it from the inside. If you prefer our technician not to come inside, please let us know, and we will clean your vent from the outside.

The industry’s good rule of thumb dictates your dryer exhaust vents be inspected and cleaned at least once a year or every six months for households that use dryers often. But every home and situation is different; consult our Los Angeles dryer vent cleaningservice to find out what works best for your home.

Depending upon size, times vary based on the number of units and their state, maintenance history, and age, along with the cleaning method determined by our qualified technicians.

About 70% of the lint is caught in the dryer’s lint trap, and the rest is blown through the dryer and into the ventilation system. The blow-through lint builds up over time in the ductwork, so yes, it does need to be cleaned.

If you do not regularly take dryer vent cleaning services, the function of dryers and vents will slow down. As a result, a lot of electricity will be consumed, and with a lot of pressure on the dryer vent, it may get damaged more quickly.
