Dryer Vent Cleaning Process Leon Valley

Complete Cleaning in One Visit

First, we disconnect your dryer and inspect the entire vent system—from the back of your machine to where it exits your home. We’re looking for lint buildup, blockages, and any damage that could cause problems later.

Next comes the deep clean. We use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums to remove every bit of lint from your ductwork. We clean the dryer itself too, including areas most homeowners can’t reach.

Finally, we reconnect everything properly and test your system. We’ll show you the lint we removed—you’ll be shocked how much was hiding in there. Before we leave, we’ll give you tips to keep your vents cleaner longer and schedule your next annual cleaning.

How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned in Leon Valley?

Most Leon Valley homes need dryer vent cleaning once a year. But if you have a large family doing lots of laundry, or if your dryer is located far from an exterior wall, you might need cleaning every 6-8 months. Texas heat makes the problem worse because your dryer works harder in summer. If you notice clothes taking longer to dry or your laundry room getting hot during cycles, don’t wait for your annual cleaning—call us right away. The National Fire Protection Association is clear: annual cleaning prevents most dryer fires. With over 15,000 dryer fires happening nationwide each year, it’s not worth the risk to skip this simple maintenance.
The biggest red flag is clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely. If your cotton shirts or jeans aren’t dry after a full cycle, your vent is probably clogged. You might also notice your dryer getting extremely hot during operation, or your laundry room feeling humid and warm. Some homeowners smell a musty odor or see lint accumulating around the outside vent opening. If your dryer shuts off mid-cycle, that’s often the safety system preventing overheating. Don’t ignore this—it means your vent is severely blocked and creating a fire hazard. Call us immediately if this happens.
Most Leon Valley homes pay between $120-180 for professional dryer vent cleaning. The exact cost depends on your vent length and complexity—longer runs or multiple bends cost slightly more because they take more time to clean thoroughly. That investment pays for itself quickly. Clean vents can cut your drying time in half, saving 20-30% on your energy bills. Plus you avoid the $300-500 repair bills that come from overheated dryer components. Compare that to the cost of a house fire or replacing a burned-out dryer early. Professional cleaning once a year is the cheapest insurance you can buy for your home and family.
You can clean the lint trap and maybe the first few feet of ductwork yourself. But most Leon Valley homes have vents that run through walls, up to the roof, or around corners—areas you can’t reach with store-bought tools. Professional equipment makes a huge difference. We use specialized brushes that reach every inch of your ductwork and industrial vacuums that remove lint completely. DIY kits from hardware stores often just push lint deeper into the system. There’s also safety to consider. If you don’t reconnect everything properly, you could create carbon monoxide problems with gas dryers or moisture issues that lead to mold. Professional cleaning includes proper testing to ensure everything works safely.
Texas heat and humidity create perfect conditions for lint problems. Your dryer works harder in summer heat, creating more lint. High humidity means that lint stays damp longer, making it stick to vent walls instead of blowing outside. Leon Valley’s location also means dealing with dust and pollen that can mix with lint to create thick blockages. If you have pets, their hair adds to the problem—especially during shedding season. The biggest factor is simply usage. Texas families do more laundry because of the heat and outdoor activities. More loads mean more lint, and even the best lint traps only catch about 75% of what your clothes shed during drying.
The immediate problem is efficiency—your dryer takes longer and costs more to run. But the real danger is fire risk. Lint is extremely flammable, and trapped lint combined with dryer heat causes thousands of house fires every year. Your dryer also wears out faster from overheating. Components like heating elements and motors burn out early, leading to expensive repairs or complete replacement years before you should need it. For gas dryers, there’s also carbon monoxide risk. Blocked vents can cause dangerous gases to back up into your home instead of venting outside. This is especially dangerous because carbon monoxide is odorless and can be fatal.
