Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in San Antonio

Quick answer: How often should I clean my dryer vent? Have your dryer vent cleaned at least once a year, and sooner if a load takes longer than 30 to 45 minutes to dry or the dryer gets hot to the touch. A clogged vent makes the dryer work harder and is a common cause of house fires.

By the numbers: the U.S. Fire Administration estimates that about 2,900 clothes dryer fires in homes are reported each year, causing around $35 million in property loss, and that failure to clean is the leading factor (34 percent).

Dryer Vent Cleaning Questions

Isn’t cleaning the lint screen enough?

No. The lint screen catches most lint, but some always passes into the duct that runs through your walls or ceiling. That buildup is what restricts airflow and creates a fire risk, and it can only be removed by cleaning the duct itself.

Does dryer vent cleaning lower energy bills?

It usually helps. A restricted vent makes the dryer run longer to dry the same load, which uses more electricity or gas and wears out the dryer sooner.
