Every load of laundry sends moist, lint-laden air through the dryer exhaust duct. Over time that lint accumulates — in the duct, at the termination, and in any booster fan along the way. The result is a dryer that works harder and dries slower, and an exhaust system that runs hotter than it should. Lint is highly combustible, and restricted dryer ducts are a well-documented fire risk, which is why regular cleaning is a maintenance item rather than a nice-to-have.
We clean and maintain the entire dryer exhaust path: the transition hose behind the dryer, the full duct run, booster fans and secondary lint traps where installed, and the exterior or rooftop termination. After cleaning, we verify airflow at the termination so you know the system is actually moving air — not just that a brush went through it.
One suite or an entire building
In detached homes, this is usually a single annual visit. In multi-family buildings it becomes a coordination exercise: dozens or hundreds of suites, long duct runs, shared risers, rooftop terminations and residents to notify. We run building-wide dryer exhaust programs with scheduled access, suite-by-suite tracking, no-access follow-up and a completion summary your council or property manager can file — so the whole building ends up on one documented maintenance cycle.
What we look for
Cleaning is also an inspection opportunity. Along the way we note observable deficiencies — crushed or disconnected ducting, failed dampers, missing bird screens, terminations painted or sealed shut, booster fans that no longer run — and document them in plain language so they can be corrected before they become problems.
