Roof dryer vent cleaning
Is it clogged?
Signs your dryer vent needs cleaning
Lint builds up a little with every load, even with a clean lint trap.
Clothes take too long to dry
Loads need two or more cycles because the hot, moist air can't get out.
Dryer gets very hot
The dryer or the clothes are unusually hot to the touch at the end of a cycle.
Burning smell
A hot or burning smell in the laundry room is a warning sign. Stop using the dryer and call us.
Lint around the vent
Lint collects behind the dryer, around the door or at the outside vent.
Vent flap won't open
The outside flap barely moves when the dryer runs, so air isn't getting through.
Not cleaned in a year
Most vents should be cleaned about once a year, more often with heavy use.

I am the most skeptical person when it comes to hiring people who I don't know, to work on stuff for me. I can honestly say that AQC and Ross far exceeded any expectations that we had. Truly one of the best customer service experiences that we have ever had! Ross and AQC are very knowledgeable, trustworthy and considerate. Great price, great service, very organized and left everything cleaner than it was!
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
About once a year for most homes. Large families, long vent runs and roof vents may need it more often.
Is a clogged dryer vent dangerous?
Yes. Lint is very flammable, and a clogged vent traps heat. Regular cleaning lowers the risk of a dryer fire and helps your dryer work properly.
Do you clean roof dryer vents?
Yes. We clean vents that exit through walls and roofs, including the vent cap on the roof.
Will cleaning make my dryer work better?
Usually, yes. With a clear vent, clothes dry faster, the dryer runs cooler and uses less energy.
Can you replace a damaged or foil vent?
Yes. If we find crushed, disconnected or unsafe foil ducts, we'll show you and give you an upfront price to replace them.
Do you clean dryer vents for buildings and businesses?
Yes. We clean dryer vents for homes, condos, apartment buildings and commercial properties.
