Our Fairfax, VA Dryer Vent Cleaning Services

Visual Inspection: Our service begins with a thorough visual inspection during which an experienced technician will assess your dryer vent system and recommend the services that will best solve your dryer vent issues.
Measurements: Airflow and back pressure measurements are taken in order to further assess the severity of the blockage and other problem sources.
Debris & Clog Removal: Lint, animal nests, stray socks or undergarments, and other items and materials that may clog your dryer vent are removed.
Line Sanitizing: Animal nests or other debris often found in vent lines can be a source of harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi; where there is a potential for such contaminants, we will sanitize the affected areas of the vent line.
Booster Fan Cleaning: Dryer vent lines that are 35 feet or longer should have a booster fan installed, which should also be cleaned annually along with your dryer vent system as a whole.
Lint Screen Cleaning: Removing lint by hand from the lint screen or lint trap should, of course, be done after each cycle, but a more thorough lint screen cleaning as part of our dryer vent cleaning service can also increase airflow and efficiency overall.

Dryer Vent Wizard of Northern Virginia offers thorough dryer vent cleaning to make each vent system we clean safer and more efficient! Call to learn more about our services or request an appointment now to schedule your Fairfax, VA dryer vent cleaning.

Here are some of the benefits that professional dryer vent cleaning provides:
- Fire Prevention - On average, a fire involving the dryer occurs every 37 minutes in the U.S., most caused by a failure to clean the vent line.
- Health and Safety - Clean vent lines reduce the risk of mold or mildew - dryers expel about a ½ gallon of moisture per load - and toxic carbon monoxide gas created by gas dryers.
- Energy Efficiency - Dryers are one of the top energy-consuming appliances in your home. Clean vents reduce drying time and extra cycles, saving you money!
- Extended Dryer Life - A clean vent line puts less wear and tear on your dryer, ensuring it operates efficiently and lasts longer.
- Save Time - Your time is valuable; don’t waste it waiting for extended or extra drying cycles.
- Increase Clothing Life - Clogged dryer vents increase heat and cycle times, which can damage clothing fibers, causing your favorite clothes to wear out before they should.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission and dryer manufacturers recommend servicing your dryer and vent at least once a year. This can vary depending on your dryer usage. If you run your dryer more than twice a week, have your vent inspected every 6 to 8 months to ensure proper maintenance.
Properly cleaning a dryer vent requires experience and expertise. The actual cleaning process will vary depending on factors like the vent system's length, location, and condition. We use a variety of tools and professional techniques to ensure your vent is properly cleaned and maintained, and our professionals ensure proper clean-up after every job.
Measuring a system’s airflow and static pressure are just two ways a Dryer Vent Wizard service professional will assess your vent’s performance. Before and after readings allow our professionals to identify issues with your dryer system and ensure that it operates properly at the end of our visit.
