Dryer vent questions from Minnetonka
Do I need to be home for dryer vent cleaning?
Someone 18 or older needs to let us in and move anything blocking the laundry area. After that you don't need to stay in the room. For roof vents we also need access to the yard side where we set up the ladder.
Is dryer vent cleaning messy?
No. Our vacuum captures lint as the brush dislodges it, we lay down a drop cloth behind the dryer, and we clean up before we leave. You should not see any lint in the laundry room when we're done.
What is a dryer vent made of?
Code calls for rigid or semi-rigid aluminum or galvanized steel duct, 4 inches in diameter, with joints taped not screwed. Many homes have white vinyl or foil flex duct instead, which traps lint in its ridges and is a fire hazard. We flag flex duct whenever we find it.
Do you clean the dryer itself?
Lint behind the drum and around the heating element is an optional add-on. The standard service covers the duct from the back of the dryer to the outdoor cap, including the flexible transition hose.
Why does a roof dryer vent cost more to clean?
Roof vents require a ladder setup, roof safety gear, clearing the cap from above, and cleaning the vertical run from both ends. It takes longer and carries more risk, so the flat rate is $199 instead of $139.
When do I pay?
After the job is done and you're satisfied. We accept credit and debit cards, cash, Zelle, and Venmo. No deposit is required to book.
What if you find a bird nest or extra work?
We show you the issue and the add-on price before doing anything extra. Bird nest removal is $69. You can always decline the add-on and we will complete the standard cleaning as booked.
Does homeowners insurance cover dryer vent cleaning?
Routine cleaning is maintenance and is not covered. However, some insurers ask about dryer vent maintenance after a fire claim, and documented annual cleaning can help. We email a receipt with before/after notes you can keep on file.
