FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How often should vents be cleaned?
Every 1-2 years for homeowners, annually for pros. More often if drying takes longer or the run is long.
Why does it matter?
Lint buildup is a leading cause of home fires and slows drying. A clean vent dries faster and safer.
How long does it take?
A standard cleaning takes 45-90 minutes depending on length and access.
