Dry Vent Cleaning

Lint builds up inside a dryer vent every time you run a load, and over time it can block the duct enough to trap heat where it shouldn't be.

A clogged dryer vent is a fire risk, not just an inconvenience

Lint builds up inside a dryer vent every time you run a load, and over time it can block the duct enough to trap heat where it shouldn’t be. That’s the leading cause of dryer fires, and it’s completely preventable with regular cleaning. A partial blockage doesn’t just raise the fire risk either, it makes the dryer work harder for the same result: cycles run longer, energy bills creep up, and the extra heat and strain shorten the life of the machine. In a humid climate like New Orleans, a dryer already has to work harder to fully dry a load, so a clogged vent makes a slow job even slower.

What’s included

We start with a full inspection using specialized tools to see exactly how much lint and debris has built up inside the duct, not just what’s visible at the lint trap. From there we clean the lint trap and surrounding components, clear out anything stuck further back in the line, and flag any damaged parts that need repair before we finish the job.

Signs your vent needs attention

  • Clothes take more than one cycle to dry
  • The dryer or laundry room feels hotter than usual during a cycle
  • A burning smell when the dryer runs
  • Visible lint around the outside vent hood or duct connections
  • It’s been more than a year since the last cleaning

Why it’s worth staying on top of

A clogged vent doesn’t just cost you in energy bills, it puts real wear on the machine and raises the risk of fire the longer it goes unchecked. Regular inspection and cleaning is a small job that protects the house and everyone in it. We quote the job in writing based on your dryer setup and vent length before any work starts.

How It Works

From first call to final walkthrough

Book it

Call (504) 688-3995 or send the form. Short notice is fine, our customers will tell you we make time.

We match the method

Soft wash on siding, surface cleaners on concrete, detail work where it counts. The surface decides the pressure.

Walkthrough & wrap-up

We check every surface with you before the truck leaves. If it's not right, we keep washing.

Why It Comes Back

New Orleans works against your dry vent

Warm, damp Gulf air and heavy tree cover keep growth active almost every month of the year.

  • Humidity feeds mold and algae on shaded and north-facing surfaces
  • Live oak pollen leaves a yellow-green film every spring
  • Storm splash carries silt onto brick, stucco, and fence lines

Common Questions

Dry Vent Cleaning questions, answered

How much does dry vent cleaning cost in New Orleans?
Pricing depends on the surface, the square footage, and how much buildup there is, so we quote in writing after a free estimate, before any work starts.
Will it damage my property?
No. We match the method to the surface, soft washing siding, shingles, and painted surfaces instead of blasting them, and saving high pressure for concrete and brick.
How often should this be done?
Gulf humidity keeps mold and algae growing nearly year-round, so most properties look their best washed about once a year. Shaded areas can need it sooner.
What areas do you serve?
New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, River Ridge, Gretna, Harvey, Marrero, Chalmette, Slidell, Mandeville, Covington, Madisonville, and Abita Springs.
