Yes, in most of our homes, the customers are home doing work or just going about their day.

Questions about our dryer vent cleaning process

Using high-pressure air source removals, the dryer vent is from the connection to the back of the dryer to the exit point where it is venting outside.

Dryer vent cleaning is exactly that, cleaning the venting from the exit point to the connection to the back of the dryer. Dryers are designed to remove the lint and debris from the vent when maintained and operating correctly. Our process used and results rendered are specific to the venting portion of the dryer vent system.

A certified appliance technician should be the only one opening up the dryer itself and working directly on the dryer.

Yes, DuctDudes offers two methods, Standard and Advanced; the latter is used only when we don’t have access to the exit point of the vent or the condition of the flue is so bad that a standard dryer vent cleaning procedure won’t work.

A standard dryer vent cleaning process can take between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the venting’s design, accessibility, and condition.

A standard dryer vent cleaning costs $165.00.

Our pricing includes the call-out fee and the work to clean the dryer vent.

You should find an improvement in the drying time of each load.
