Professional dryer vent cleaning starting at $129. Reduce fire risk, cut drying time, and lower energy bills. We service single-family homes, condos, and multi-unit buildings across Chicago and 100+ suburbs.
Lint buildup in your dryer vent is a fire hazard hiding in plain sight. FEMA reports approximately 2,900 dryer fires per year in the U.S., causing 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property damage. Our professional cleaning removes lint, debris, and blockages from your entire vent run — from the dryer connection to the exterior termination. After cleaning, most customers notice their dryer runs 30-50% faster and their energy bills drop measurably.
| Vent Type | Cost |
|---|---|
| First-floor, wall exit (standard) | $129–$149 |
| Roof exit or second-floor run | $149–$199 |
| Multi-story / long commercial run | $199–$250 |
| Condo / high-rise (shared vent system) | $175–$275 |
| Dryer vent + chimney cleaning bundle | $289–$399 |
Pricing depends on vent length, number of turns, exit location (wall vs. roof), and accessibility. We provide the exact price before starting — no hidden fees.
Most homeowners do not realize their vent is clogged until drying times double. Here are the warning signs:
If you notice any of these, schedule a cleaning before the problem becomes a fire risk. Lint is highly combustible — it only takes a spark from an overheating heating element to ignite a clogged vent.
We clean your dryer vent in five steps:
1. Disconnect and inspect. We pull the dryer out, disconnect the transition hose, and visually inspect the connection point and accessible vent run. This is where most lint accumulates.
2. Rotary brush cleaning. We feed a high-speed rotary brush through the entire vent run, breaking loose compacted lint and debris from the vent walls.
3. HEPA vacuum extraction. Our HEPA-filtered vacuum system pulls all loosened debris out of the vent. Nothing blows into your home or laundry room.
4. Reconnect and seal. We reconnect the dryer with a proper rigid or semi-rigid aluminum duct (no vinyl or foil accordion hoses, which are fire hazards) and seal all joints.
5. Airflow verification. We run the dryer and measure airflow at the exterior termination to confirm the vent is clear and pulling properly. You see the before-and-after difference immediately.
Dryer vent cleaning in Chicago condos and high-rises is more complex — and more important — than in single-family homes. Vents in multi-unit buildings often run through walls and up multiple stories before reaching the roof. These longer runs accumulate lint faster and are harder to clean with consumer-grade tools. We service condo buildings throughout Chicago — from vintage conversions in Wicker Park and Logan Square to modern high-rises in the South Loop, River North, and Streeterville. We coordinate with building management, work within HOA access requirements, and can service multiple units in a single visit at a reduced per-unit rate. Ask your building manager about scheduling a building-wide dryer vent cleaning.
A clogged dryer vent forces your dryer to work harder and run longer. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that a dryer with a clogged vent uses up to 30% more energy per load. For a household running 5 loads per week, that can add $100-$150 per year to your energy bill. A $129 cleaning pays for itself within the first year — and protects your home from fire risk at the same time.
