The air quality inside your home plays an important role in the health of you and your family, yet it is often overlooked by homeowners. You should have the ducts in your home cleaned every 1 to 3 years depending on how active the occupants are inside the home. No family should have to breathe in pollutants such as dirt, dust, lint, mold, and pet dander.
Dryer ducts that are short in length, as well as vent directly from the dryer to the outside of the home, can sometimes be accessed and cleaned by the home owner fairly easily. The further the exterior venting is from the dryer will make the job increasingly difficult and inconvenient for those without the proper tools and training.

Signs you need dryer vent cleaning:

  • Dryer is taking longer than usual to dry a load of laundry
  • Exterior of dryer is hot to the touch
  • Clothes come out hotter than usual
  • Strong odor or burning smell
  • Outside dryer exhaust hood flap or opening is dirty
  • It’s been longer than a year since your last cleaning or inspection
CityWide Plumbing and Power recommends that dryer vents be properly cleaned every 6 to 12 months and both the dryer and vent be inspected every couple of months for any signs of blockage.
