Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Monica, CA

If clothes take two cycles to dry or the dryer runs hot, the vent line may be packed with lint. We clear the full line, from the dryer connection to the outside termination, and check airflow when we finish.

Signs your dryer vent needs cleaning

  • Clothes need more than one cycle to dry
  • The dryer or laundry room gets unusually hot
  • The outside vent flap barely opens while the dryer runs
  • You notice a burning or musty smell during a cycle
  • Lint collects around the dryer or the outside vent

Why lint in the vent matters

The U.S. Fire Administration estimated about 2,900 residential clothes dryer fires a year, with failure to clean the leading contributing factor at 34 percent. Cleaning the lint trap helps, but it does not reach the lint further down the line.

Vents we work on

Santa Monica's condos, apartments and older buildings often have long or awkward vent runs through walls, closets or up to the roof. We clean standard wall vents and rooftop dryer vents. If we find a crushed or badly routed line, we explain the problem and can quote a dryer vent repair. Birds or nesting material in the vent? We remove those as well.

Where we offer this

We're based at 3254 Olympic Blvd in Santa Monica and serve Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey, Culver City, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Malibu and nearby neighborhoods. See all service areas.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?

Many homes do well with a yearly check, while long runs or heavy laundry use may need more frequent service. Our dryer vent guide goes through what to watch for.

Can you clean a dryer vent in a condo?

Yes. We work in condos and apartments. Let us know where your vent ends and whether your building has rules about roof access.

Do I need to move the dryer myself?

Tell us about the laundry space when you call, including stacked units or tight closets, so we can plan the visit.
