How much does dryer vent cleaning cost?

Prices for dryer vent cleaning seem to vary quite a bit from company to company and state to state.  Prices range from as low as $50 to as high as $350.  There are very few recognizable names in the dryer vent cleaning business. Because dryer vent cleaning is considered a cleaning service most states don't require a specific license.  Some companies offer prices as low as $29 to get in your house.  Unfortunately these are the companies who either try to sell you duct cleaning or a coil cleaning for your ac.  Other companies charge you surprise up charges for going on the rooftop.  

At Ventsmart dryer vent cleaning we charge based on how much work is involved in cleaning the vent.  A job that doesn't need a ladder compared to a job needing a 28 foot extension ladder would be priced differently.  Most dryer vents we clean are between $69 - $89.  If your dryer vent is over 10 feet long yearly dryer vent cleaning is a must.  This will pay for itself before you know it.

Ventsmart Dryer vent Cleaning Comes to Clearwater Florida

According to Wayne Herr owner of Ventsmart dryer vent cleaners of Clearwater.  A very small percentage of the public know about this much needed service.  Many of the newer homes vent out the roof top making the average distance considerably longer.  These longer vents contribute to the recent rash of dryer fires.  Your dryer needs to breath for it to work properly.

Unfortunately a considerable amount of lint gets past your dryer's lint screen.  This moist lint gathers inside the vent eventually blocking the exit completely.  Many homes still have the original rodent screen at the exit preventing any lint from escaping.  This screen should be removed completely or replaced with a minimum one inch screen.  Some of the early warning signs of a blocked dryer duct include:

  • Dryer takes mulitple cycles to dry a load
  • The top of your dryer is hot to the touch
  • Lint is gathering inside the dryer door
  • Your clothing seems hotter than is should be
  • Clothing has a musty smell to it
At Ventsmart dryer vent cleaning we use a high speed rotary brush to extract the lint.  We suck the lint out while the brush snakes the entire distance of your dryer vent.  We also take a digital reading of the airflow to make sure your vent is flowing properly before we leave.  A few of the benifits of using Ventsmart to clean your dryer duct include:
  • One hour windows
  • Saturday service no extra charge
  • We are a BBB accredited business
  • Licensed insured and bonded
  • Same day service
  • Owner operated
Don't put this off, your families safety may be at risk.
