Prevent fires, improve efficiency, and protect your home in Alexandria, Arlington & Fairfax VA
Nearly 17,000 home dryer fires occur each year in the United States, causing an estimated $238 million in property damage. The leading cause? Failure to clean dryer vents.
Don't let your home become a statistic. Professional dryer vent cleaning services can prevent these fires and save lives.
Every time you dry a load of laundry, lint and debris accumulate in your dryer vent. Even with a lint trap, significant amounts of lint bypass the filter and build up in the vent system. Over time, this creates a dangerous fire hazard and reduces your dryer's efficiency.
Professional dryer vent cleaning from AirDuctVet removes all lint buildup, prevents fires, and restores your dryer to peak performance. Our veteran-owned team uses specialized equipment to thoroughly clean the entire vent system, from the dryer connection to the exterior exhaust.
Eliminate dangerous lint buildup
Faster drying times and efficiency
Lower energy bills and repairs
Protect your home and family
Don't ignore these red flags - they could save your home
If your clothes take more than one cycle to dry completely, lint buildup is restricting airflow and reducing dryer efficiency.
If your laundry room feels unusually hot, or clothes and the dryer exterior are extremely hot to touch, your vent is clogged.
A burning odor during operation is a serious warning sign. Lint trapped in the vent can ignite, causing a fire.
Lint visible around the dryer vent opening, on clothing, or in the laundry room indicates your vent system needs immediate cleaning.
If the exterior vent hood flap doesn't open properly when the dryer is running, lint is blocking proper ventilation.
If it's been over a year since your last cleaning (or you've never had it cleaned), it's time for professional service.
Why regular cleaning is essential for every home
The most important benefit - removing lint buildup dramatically reduces your risk of a devastating dryer fire. Protect your family and property.
A clean dryer vent allows hot air to escape properly, reducing drying time by up to 50% and cutting your energy bills significantly.
Reduce wear and tear on your dryer. A clean vent means less strain on the motor and heating element, helping your appliance last longer.
Save time on laundry day. Clean vents restore proper airflow, allowing clothes to dry in a single cycle instead of two or three.
Avoid expensive dryer repairs caused by overheating and excessive strain. Regular cleaning is far cheaper than replacing a damaged dryer.
Sleep better knowing your dryer vent is clean, safe, and operating efficiently. Protect what matters most - your family and home.

Common questions about dryer vent maintenance
For safety and efficiency, dryer vents should be cleaned at least once a year. Homes with frequent dryer use, large families, or pets that shed may need cleaning every 6 months.
While you can clean the lint trap regularly, professional cleaning is recommended for the entire vent system. We have specialized equipment to reach and remove lint from the full length of your vent, including exterior sections.
Most dryer vent cleaning services take 45-90 minutes depending on the length and complexity of your vent system. We work efficiently while ensuring thorough cleaning.
We handle all types of dryer vent configurations, including roof vents. Our team has the equipment and experience to safely clean vents in any location.
If your dryer issues are caused by a clogged vent (which is common), cleaning will restore proper function. However, if there's a mechanical problem with the dryer itself, you may need appliance repair.
