Why Clean Your Dryer Vent?

  • Prevent fires: Lint buildup is a primary driver in dryer fires; regular vent maintenance reduces risk.
  • Dry faster & spend less: Restored airflow shortens cycles and lowers utility costs.
  • Protect clothes & your machine: Proper ventilation reduces excess heat and moisture that wear out fabrics and components.

Absolutely. We remove nests and can install bird/pest‑resistant covers in the same visit.
