When your dryer vent is properly cleaned, clothes dry faster and your energy bills drop. More importantly, you eliminate the fire risk that kills five people and injures 100 others every year from clogged dryer vents.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. Clothes that used to take two cycles now dry completely in one. Your laundry room stays cooler. Your dryer stops making those concerning noises.
But the real win is peace of mind. No more wondering if that lint buildup is creating a fire hazard while you sleep.
We bring military precision to every dryer vent cleaning in Austin. We’re veteran-owned with over two decades of experience keeping Texas families safe and comfortable.
Austin homeowners trust us because we understand what’s at stake. We’ve seen what happens when maintenance gets skipped, and we’ve built our reputation on preventing those problems before they start.
Our certified technicians serve Austin, San Antonio, and Houston with the same attention to detail we’d want for our own families. Licensed, insured, and available 24/7 when you need us most.
We start by inspecting your exterior vent cover and checking airflow through the entire system. Then we disconnect your dryer safely and use professional-grade rotary brushes and high-powered vacuums to remove every bit of lint from the vent pipe.
Our technicians clean the full run from behind your dryer to the exterior exit point. We clear the aluminum sleeve, vacuum the dryer area, and remove any debris that’s blown out during the process.
After reconnecting everything, we run a test cycle to ensure proper airflow and operation. You get documentation of the work completed and recommendations for ongoing maintenance.

Every dryer vent cleaning includes complete system inspection, professional-grade cleaning equipment, and a final test to verify proper operation. We use specialized rotary brushes that reach every curve and bend in your vent system.
Austin homes present unique challenges with longer vent runs and roof exits common in newer developments. Our team has the equipment and experience to handle everything from simple first-floor vents to complex multi-story installations.
We also check for common Austin issues like bird nests in exterior vents and damage from recent storms. If we find problems beyond cleaning, we’ll give you straight answers about what needs fixing and what can wait.
Most Austin homeowners need dryer vent cleaning once a year, but heavy users or longer vent runs may need service every six months. Signs you need cleaning include clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer getting hot on the outside, or lint visible around the exterior vent.
Austin’s climate means many families do more laundry year-round compared to cooler regions. If you’re running multiple loads weekly or have a large family, annual cleaning prevents dangerous lint buildup.
Leading dryer manufacturers actually recommend yearly professional cleaning to maintain warranties and prevent fire hazards. It’s a small investment compared to replacing a dryer or dealing with fire damage.
Professional dryer vent cleaning in Austin typically ranges from $150 to $350, depending on your vent’s location and accessibility. First-floor vents cost less than roof-exit systems that require special equipment and safety measures.
The investment pays for itself quickly through energy savings. A clean vent can reduce drying time by 30%, saving about $0.25 per load on Austin utility rates. For most families, that’s $60-100 annually in electricity savings alone.
Compare that to the average $25,000 in property damage from a dryer fire, and professional cleaning is the smartest money you’ll spend on home maintenance.
While you can clean the lint trap and immediate vent connection, professional cleaning reaches areas homeowners can’t access safely. Austin homes often have long vent runs that snake through walls or exit through the roof, requiring specialized equipment.
DIY attempts with leaf blowers or makeshift tools often push lint deeper into the system or miss critical blockages. Professional rotary brushes and vacuum systems remove lint completely rather than redistributing it.
The liability alone makes professional cleaning worth it. If a fire starts because of inadequate cleaning, your insurance company may question coverage. Professional documentation protects your family and your investment.
The most obvious sign is clothes taking longer to dry than normal. If loads that used to finish in one cycle now need two, or if clothes come out damp and hot, your vent is likely clogged with lint.
Other warning signs include the dryer getting very hot on the outside, burning smells during operation, or visible lint around your exterior vent opening. Your laundry room may also feel more humid than usual.
Don’t ignore these signs. Every 37 minutes, a dryer fire starts somewhere in the United States, usually because of lint buildup that could have been prevented with proper cleaning.
We start with a complete inspection of your vent system, checking airflow and identifying any blockages or damage. Then we disconnect your dryer and use professional rotary brushes to scrub the entire vent pipe from inside to outside.
Our high-powered vacuum systems remove all loosened lint and debris. We clean the area behind your dryer, check the aluminum connection sleeve, and inspect the exterior vent cover for damage or obstructions.
After reconnecting everything, we run a test cycle to verify proper airflow and operation. You receive documentation of the work completed and recommendations for maintaining your system between professional cleanings.
