Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Clovis
Clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of residential dryer fires, and in Clovis they’re a year-round problem. The San Joaquin Valley’s inversion layer traps dust, agricultural particulate, and smoke at ground level, which means your dryer pulls that same gritty air through its vent with every load. Add in months of 100°F-plus attic heat baking the vent run, and lint that would stay loose and fluffy in a coastal climate gets compacted, crusted, and stuck inside the pipe. If your dryer is taking 50 minutes or more per load, or the laundry room smells musty after a cycle, the vent is telling you something. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team serves the entire Clovis area with professional-grade equipment, not shop vacs. Call (855) 661-0630 for a free estimate and we’ll inspect what’s actually inside your vent run.
Why Duct Cleaning Clovis Is Clovis’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Homeowners in Clovis call us because we find what other companies miss. That’s not a tagline; it’s a pattern. Our team works with Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum systems and Rotobrush agitation tools, the same equipment restoration crews use on fire and smoke damage jobs. That matters in Clovis specifically because the particulate load here is heavier than in coastal cities, so a cursory brush-and-vacuum pass leaves a lot behind. We also understand the difference between Clovis’s housing stock: a mid-century ranch near Old Town has entirely different vent architecture than a 2005 tract home in the Loma Vista area. You need a local team that has opened vents in both and knows what each failure mode looks like.
Noel Drummond, who leads our work, has spent years tracing vent runs through Clovis attics, behind laundry room walls, and through slab-adjacent chases. We don’t guess. We inspect, we diagnose, and we clear the full pathway end to end. When we leave, the vent is actually clear, not just cleaned enough to hand you an invoice.

Dryer Vent Inspection in Clovis
Dryer Vent Inspection in Clovis is the service you need before you spend money on cleaning or repair, because it tells you what’s actually happening inside the pipe. In a Clovis home, this almost always means running a push camera from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, looking for crushed elbows, disconnected joints, bird or rodent activity, and of course lint accumulation. A typical inspection runs $75 – $150 depending on run length and access. Many local homeowners book one when they’ve already cleaned the lint trap religiously but the dryer still takes two cycles, or when the exterior flapper never seems to open.
Camera Inspection and Lint Load Assessment
We thread a small camera through the vent and watch the footage in real time with you. You’ll see the actual obstruction, whether it’s three seasons of packed lint, a crushed corrugated elbow behind the laundry wall, or a joint that’s pulled apart and bleeding hot air into the attic. Then we know exactly what to do, and we can tell you up front what it costs to put right. No mystery. No guesswork.
Vent Rerouting and Bird Guard Installation
When an inspection reveals a vent path that’s fundamentally wrong, too long, or routed through a hot attic with five elbows, we can reroute the run to a simpler path. We also install bird guards when we find nests, which is common in Clovis where starlings and house sparrows use exterior vents for shelter. A blocked or partially blocked bird nest plus a hot dryer exhaust is a fire starter. The guard is cheap insurance and a standard part of our inspection recommendations.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clovis
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clovis covers apartment complexes, laundromats, and property management accounts throughout the city. These are not bigger versions of residential jobs. A commercial dryer room may have metal common-trunk ducts, multiple dryer taps, roof terminations, and sometimes hundreds of feet of run. Lint accumulates faster with daily use, and the fire risk compounds when a commercial dryer runs back-to-back loads. Our Nikro HEPA-filtered extraction systems handle high-volume lint removal without blowing debris into common areas. For a small commercial property with two to four dryers, expect to pay $250 – $500 per cleaning cycle, with larger multi-stack systems priced by scope after an on-site walkthrough.
Multi-Unit and Property Management Accounts
For apartment owners in Clovis, regular dryer vent cleaning is part of your fire-safety obligation, and our team documents every job. We can schedule annual or semi-annual cleanings across multiple units and provide simple records showing each vent was camera-verified after the work. This is the same standard we apply to residential work. No shortcuts because it’s a common laundry room instead of a private one.
Metal Duct and Roof Termination Work
Some Clovis commercial properties still have older galvanized metal vent runs that were never designed for modern high-volume dryers. We can assess whether the run is viable, clear it with professional equipment, and recommend repairs or replacement when we find corrosion, loose joints, or roof caps that no longer close. Vent cap replacement on a roof is not a ladder-and-wipe job. We do it right, and we don’t leave until negative pressure is confirmed at the exit.
Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis
Our equipment lineup includes Rotobrush and Nikro, the brands you’ll find on restoration and remediation trucks across the industry, not at a rental counter. That means the brush contact is aggressive enough to break loose crusted lint but controlled enough to protect your vent walls. If you have a Honeywell or Aprilaire whole-home filtration system, we service those too, because your dryer vent and your HVAC filtration are part of the same indoor air picture in a Clovis home. We carry common replacement parts with us, so when we find a crushed elbow or a failed vent cap during a cleaning, we can often fix it then and there.

AfterCommon Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Crushed elbows behind Old Town laundry walls: In mid-century ranch homes near Old Town Clovis, original vent runs often use corrugated elbows that collapse under their own weight after 40 or 50 years. The homeowner never sees it. The camera does.
- Disconnected joints in hot attics: Clovis attics routinely bake at 130°F-plus in summer, and that heat cycles the metal and tape joints on vent runs. Joints separate, hot lint-laden air bleeds into the attic, and the dryer loses its exhaust path entirely.
- Long slab-on-grade runs with multiple elbows: In Clovis’s ranch homes built on concrete slabs, vent runs snake through walls and chases, picking up a 90-degree turn every few feet. Lint builds at each turn, and the restriction compounds until the dryer can’t push air through at all.
- Valley particulate compounding the lint load: Clovis sits in the San Joaquin Valley’s agricultural belt, and the inversion layer traps dust and smoke at ground level for weeks at a time. That fine grit gets sucked through the dryer vent along with everything else, mixing with lint to form a dense, cake-like lining that’s harder to remove than pure lint.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clovis, CA
Dryer vent cleaning in Clovis typically costs $150 – $300 for a standard residential run from dryer to exterior wall. Here’s what moves the number: a short, straight run under 10 feet on a single-story home in a newer tract will be on the low end. A long run through a hot attic with multiple elbows, common in older Clovis neighborhoods like the area around Sierra Vista or the ranch homes east of Clovis Avenue, runs toward the higher end. Add $30 – $75 for a bird guard if we find nesting, and $75 – $150 if we need to replace a failed vent cap. Every estimate is free. Call (855) 661-0630 and we’ll give you a firm number before any work starts.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clovis
Yes, in most cases a dryer that needs two cycles to finish a load in an older Clovis home is dealing with a restricted vent, not a failing dryer. We recently ran a camera inspection on a mid-century ranch off the Old Town Clovis grid where the homeowner’s dryer had been taking two cycles to dry a load. The camera found a crushed corrugated elbow behind the laundry wall packed with lint, plus a disconnected joint bleeding hot air into the attic. We reconnected the run, established negative pressure with our HEPA filtration unit, and used agitation tools to clear the full lint pathway end to end. The dryer now finishes in one cycle, and the homeowner told us they hadn’t realized how much lint was hiding beyond the reachable trap. Call (855) 661-0630 and we’ll inspect yours.
Yes, Clovis attics reach 130°F or more in summer, which does two things: it bakes lint into a hard crust that’s more difficult to remove, and it accelerates joint failure in vent runs. Metal expands and contracts, tape dries out, and joints pull apart. A vent cleaning that doesn’t check for disconnections and re-secure joints is only half a job. We inspect the entire run, not just the first few feet behind the dryer.
We use a push camera that threads through the vent from the dryer connection to the exterior termination. You see the footage live, so there’s no mystery about what’s blocking the pipe. In mid-century Clovis homes, we typically find crushed corrugated elbows behind the laundry wall or disconnected joints in the attic. Once we identify the exact location, we can often access and repair the run without opening up your walls. Call (855) 661-0630 for a free inspection estimate.
Yes, we clean commercial dryer vents throughout Clovis, from apartment laundry rooms to larger multi-stack facilities. Commercial systems run harder and accumulate lint faster, and our Nikro HEPA-filtered extraction systems are built for that volume. We can set up recurring maintenance schedules for property managers and document every visit. Estimates for commercial work are free. Call (855) 661-0630 to schedule a walkthrough.
Lint is highly flammable, and a restricted vent traps heat inside the dryer and the vent run. The combination of accumulated lint, high exhaust temperatures, and a blocked pathway is what leads to dryer fires, which cause thousands of residential fires in the US every year. In Clovis, where homes run dryers heavily through dusty summer months and winter smoke season adds particulate, the risk accumulates faster than homeowners expect. This is not a maintenance chore you can put off indefinitely. Call (855) 661-0630 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in your vent.
