Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clovis - One Price, Measured Results

Trusted Dryer Vent Cleaning for Clovis Homeowners

Clogged dryer vents cause roughly 2,900 residential fires in the U.S. every year, and the frustrating part is that nearly all of them were preventable. That’s not a scare statistic. It’s the engineering reality of a vent packed with highly flammable lint sitting inches from a heating element. In Clovis, where summer temperatures already push dryers harder and lint dries out to a brittle, fast-igniting state, a neglected vent is a genuine hazard. We clean dryer vents with professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. Not a shop vac on the end of a pole. The same tools restoration contractors use when they need extraction that actually works. Call (855) 661-0630 for a free estimate, and have your vent inspected by someone who treats this as a fire-safety job, not an upsell.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Service

Dryer Vent Cleaning Service is the process of removing compacted lint, debris, and obstructions from the entire vent run, from the dryer connection point all the way to the exterior termination. A dryer pushes warm, moisture-laden air through that pipe on every cycle, and every cycle deposits a fine layer of lint on the pipe walls. Over months, that layer compresses into a dense, felt-like mass that restricts airflow, drives up drying times, and becomes fuel. We run Rotobrush brush-contact extraction through the full run, then pull everything into a Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum, so the debris leaves the vent entirely instead of getting redistributed through your laundry room. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning cost guide explains that most residential vent cleanings in Clovis run $120 – $220 depending on vent length, accessibility, and how long it has been since the last cleaning.

Single-Story Vents

Straight runs under 15 feet with easy roof or wall access are the most straightforward job we handle. Cleaning typically takes 45 minutes to an hour from setup to final airflow verification.

Multi-Level and Hidden Runs

Vents that snake through interior walls, between floors, or across attic spaces take longer and require more aggressive brush passes. We quote these jobs after we see the run, not before we know what we’re dealing with.

Dryer Vent Installation

Dryer Vent Installation is the replacement of an existing vent run, or the installation of a new one, using rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting that meets current fire code. Many Clovis homes still have old runs made of white vinyl or foil flex hose, which is flammable, sags in the middle, and traps lint at every bend. If your existing vent is vinyl, crushed, or routed more than 25 feet with too many turns, cleaning it is not the answer. Replacing it is. We install rigid aluminum and semi-rigid aluminum runs sized correctly for your dryer’s CFM output, with proper support brackets, sealed joints, and the shortest code-compliant route to the exterior. Residential dryer vent installation typically costs $180 – $350 in Clovis, depending on run length, wall thickness, and roof versus wall termination.

Code-Compliant Metal Runs

We install only aluminum or galvanized steel ducting. No vinyl, no foil flex, no compromises. The run gets sized to the dryer’s exhaust volume, supported every four feet, and terminated with a dampered cap that keeps birds and weather out.

Exterior Caps and Terminations

The cap on the outside of your house is the vent’s first line of defense against pests, rain, and backdrafts. We replace rusted or stuck Louver caps and plastic hoods with metal louvered terminations that open fully under airflow and seal when the dryer stops.

Dryer Vent Repair

Dryer Vent Repair addresses the mechanical failures that make a vent unsafe or nonfunctional: disconnected sections, crushed pipe, torn flex connectors behind the dryer, loose joints leaking moist air into wall cavities, and caps that no longer open or close. These failures are common. The dryer gets pushed back against the wall and the flex connector kinks. A homeowner runs a garden hose through the vent and punctures a seam. A bird builds a nest in the cap and the louvers seize. Repair is not the same as cleaning, and the two often go together. We inspect the full run, identify every fault, and replace only what needs replacing, with materials that meet current dryer exhaust codes. Repair cost depends heavily on the fault: reconnecting a separated section may run $75 – $150, while replacing a crushed or undersized mid-run section typically lands between $150 – $300.

Disconnected or Separated Joints

A disconnected vent dumps warm, humid dryer exhaust into your wall, attic, or crawlspace. Over time that moisture breeds mold, and the lint builds up around the opening as an ignition point. We reconnect and seal joints with aluminum tape, never screws, which catch lint inside the pipe.

Crushed and Undersized Pipe

If the vent was never sized right, or something in the wall or attic compressed it, the airflow restriction is permanent until the pipe is replaced. We pull damaged sections and replace them with rigid aluminum sized to the dryer’s exhaust requirements.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Company

Dryer Vent Cleaning Company is what we are, and the distinction matters because this industry has a bait-and-switch problem. A coupon comes in the mail for $49 whole-house vent cleaning, a tech shows up with a shop vac and a drill attachment, spends 30 minutes, and tells you that you need $800 of work that requires a follow-up visit. By the time it’s over, you’ve paid far more than the coupon and your vent is no cleaner than when they started. We run one flat price per vent, agreed before we begin, and we bring professional extraction equipment that visibly removes what is actually in the pipe. You’ll see the lint we pull out, and you’ll get before-and-after photos of your own vent. Most homes are $120 – $220 for a complete dryer vent cleaning.

What We Pull Out of Clovis Vents

Lint, pet hair, dust, and occasionally the unexpected: bird nests, rodent nesting material, and children’s toys dropped into the wall vent from a laundry room shelf. The common factor is that all of it burns. Clovis’s dry air turns standard lint into a fast-igniting tinder within a season.

One Price, No Add-On Games

The price we quote for the vent is the price you pay. If we find repair work that is needed, we show you, explain it, and you decide. But the cleaning price never changes once we’ve seen the vent.

Dryer Vent Inspection

Dryer Vent Inspection is a full evaluation of the vent system’s condition, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination. You should get an inspection when you move into a new home, when drying times creep past one cycle, when the dryer gets hot to the touch, or when you simply cannot remember the last time anyone looked at the vent. We run a camera through the full length of the pipe. You see what we see: lint accumulation, separated joints, obstruction, moisture staining. If a previous homeowner installed a vinyl vent or a run that is far too long with too many turns, the inspection finds it. Inspection alone typically runs $75 – $125, and we credit that amount toward any cleaning or repair we perform.

Camera Documentation

We record the interior of the vent before and after we work. That gives you proof the vent is clean and lets us show you exactly what condition the pipe is in, joint by joint if needed.

New Construction and Pre-Purchase Checks

Clovis has grown fast, with thousands of new homes built in the last decade, and new does not guarantee right. We’ve inspected brand-new vents that were undersized, poorly supported, or had construction debris in the run. A pre-purchase inspection is fast and worth every dollar.

Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning

Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning is the scheduled cleaning and inspection of dryer exhaust systems in multifamily housing, laundromats, salons, and other facilities where dryers run continuously. The fire risk in a commercial setting is higher, not because the dryers are different, but because the duty cycle is relentless and lint accumulates far faster. A laundromat dryer may clog a vent in weeks, not months. We clean commercial dryer vent systems with the same Rotobrush and Nikro equipment used on residential jobs, and we schedule recurring maintenance for properties that need it. Commercial pricing depends on vent length, number of dryers on the run, roof versus wall access, and how often the system needs service. Most multifamily common-area vent systems run $200 – $450 per cleaning.

Multifamily and Property Management

Apartment buildings and managed properties in Clovis, Sanger, and Fowler benefit from Dryer Vent Cleaning – Sunnyside and surrounding areas, with scheduled vent cleaning more than any other property type. Tenant turnover means unknown vent histories, and a lint fire in one unit is a liability for the whole property. We provide documentation of every cleaning for your records.

Laundromat and Salon Systems

High-volume dryers produce lint faster than any owner expects. We set recurring schedules, photograph every cleaning, and flag any run that needs replacement before it becomes a fire hazard or a code violation.

Brands We Service

Our extraction equipment is Rotobrush and Nikro, our filtration standard is Abatement Technologies, and our work is compatible with whatever dryer and whole-home ventilation you already have. Rotobrush and Nikro are the professional-grade systems restoration and remediation contractors use when contaminated material has to come all the way out, not just get loosened. Abatement Technologies sets the bar for air filtration during and after cleaning, so we’re not blowing debris into your living space while we work.

If you run a Honeywell or Aprilaire whole-home air filtration system, and your dryer is part of the same conditioned space, the condition of your dryer vent matters to that system. A leaking or disconnected dryer vent pumps humid, lint-laden air into the space your Honeywell or Aprilaire system is trying to keep clean. We work with those systems, not around them, which means the air quality equipment you invested in actually gets the clean air it was designed to handle.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Drying takes two cycles. When a dryer that used to finish in 45 minutes is now taking 90, the vent is no longer moving design airflow. That means the dryer is working harder, the heating element is cycling hotter, and the lint in the pipe is getting closer to ignition temperature every load.
• The dryer or laundry room feels hot. A properly vented dryer exhausts heat outside. A hot dryer cabinet means exhaust air is backing up into the machine because the vent is blocked. That heat is exactly the energy that ignites compacted lint.
• The exterior cap is not opening. If the louvers do not swing open when the dryer is running, or they are stuck half open, airflow is restricted and moisture is condensing inside the pipe. A stuck cap on a Clovis summer afternoon creates backpressure that can shut a dryer down entirely.
• Lint is visible at the exterior termination. Lint building up around the outside vent opening means the pipe is so full that lint is pushing past the damper. If you can see it outside, there is far more inside.
• You smell burning when the dryer runs. The smell most people describe as “burning dust” is usually fine lint accumulating on the heating element or burning in place inside the vent. This is a stop using the dryer immediate signal, not a schedule a cleaning someday signal.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. 1
   We inspect the entire run first. Before we clean anything, we pull the dryer out, disconnect the transition hose, and run a camera through the full vent to the exterior. We identify obstructions, separated joints, and the condition of the pipe itself. This is where we find the problems a cleaning alone will not fix.
2. 2
   We set up containment and filtration. We lay drop cloths at the work area and connect our Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum to create negative pressure at the dryer end of the vent. That means anything we dislodge gets pulled toward the vacuum, not blown into your laundry room.
3. 3
   We clean with Rotobrush brush-contact extraction. A rotating brush travels the full length of the vent, scrubbing the walls mechanically while the vacuum pulls the loosened lint, dust, and debris out of the system. We work from the dryer end and, on longer runs, from the roof or exterior wall as well.
4. 4
   We verify airflow and document everything. After the brush pass and a second camera inspection, we test airflow at the termination point, then show you the before-and-after images. You’ll see what was in the vent and what the pipe looks like now. If we found damage, we outline the repair options and cost on the spot.
5. 5
   We leave the area clean and the dryer reconnected. We reattach the dryer transition hose with a new connector where needed, check the exterior cap, and confirm the dryer operates correctly before we leave. The only thing that should change in your laundry room is the drying time.
