Fire Prevention: Reduce Dryer Fire Risk

In Ontario, provincial figures indicate roughly 300 household clothes-dryer fires are reported each year, and in a recent year there were 340 incidents. About one-third of these are linked to lack of maintenance, with up to 15 injuries and millions of dollars in property damage annually. Cleaning the vent removes lint and debris and helps prevent these fires. In Toronto, fire officials also warn that lack of dryer maintenance is a leading cause of dryer fires. Nationally, most fire fatalities occur in residential settings, which reinforces why prevention at home matters.
Dryer Longevity: Extend Your Appliance’s Life
When your dryer can’t vent hot air properly, it runs hotter and longer than it should – straining the motor, heating element, and other parts. Over time, this added stress can lead to breakdowns or a shorter lifespan for your dryer. Regular vent cleaning helps your dryer operate within safe temperature and airflow ranges, preventing excessive wear and overheating. Industry experts note that keeping dryer vents clean can add several years to your dryer’s lifespan. In other words, investing in vent maintenance now means your dryer will last longer, perform better, and you’ll avoid the cost of premature replacements or repairs. It’s a smart way to protect your appliance investment (and even your clothes will thank you, since they won’t be over-dried or heat-damaged).
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process
We follow a thorough, step-by-step process to ensure your dryer vent is completely clean and safe:
Inspection: Our team first inspects your dryer vent setup, looking at the vent path, exterior outlet, and lint accumulation level. We identify any blockages or issues before starting the cleaning.
Thorough Cleaning: Using specialized tools, we remove all lint, dust, and debris from the entire length of your vent duct. We clean from the dryer connection point all the way to the outside vent cover, ensuring no clogs remain. (We even clear out the exterior vent hood and any built-in screens or flaps.)
Airflow Check & Safety Audit: After cleaning, we test airflow to confirm the vent is clear and your dryer is exhausting properly. We also check that the venting system is in good condition with no damage or loose connections. If we spot any issues (like a crushed duct or improper vent materials), we’ll let you know.
Cleanup: We respect your home and leave no mess behind. Any lint or debris that came out during cleaning is collected and removed. Our technicians will put everything back in place, so your laundry area is as clean as we found it – just with a much safer dryer vent!
Total time for a typical dryer vent cleaning is usually around 30–60 minutes. We work efficiently but carefully, minimizing any disruption. You’ll be left with a dryer that runs optimally and a vent system you can trust.

Dryer Vent Cleaning FAQ
How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned?
It’s generally recommended to clean your dryer vent about once a year. For the average household, an annual professional cleaning keeps your vent clear of dangerous lint buildup. If you have a large family or do laundry very frequently (creating more lint), you might consider cleaning it every 6–12 months to be safe. Regular yearly maintenance is usually enough to maintain safe airflow and efficiency in your dryer. (Tip: Clean your dryer’s lint trap before every load – it helps, but it’s no substitute for periodic vent cleanouts!)
What are the signs of a clogged dryer vent?
There are a few telltale warning signs. The first is longer drying times – if your clothes that used to dry in 45 minutes now take twice as long, your vent likely needs cleaning. Another major sign is a burning smell or unusually hot dryer: if you notice a hot, burnt odor when the dryer is running, lint may be overheating inside the vent or dryer cabinet. You might also find excessive lint gathering around the lint filter or behind the dryer, or see that the exterior vent hood is clogged with lint. In some cases, the dryer might shut off mid-cycle due to overheating. Bottom line: if it’s been over a year since cleaning or you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule a dryer vent cleaning.
Can I clean my dryer vent myself, or do I need a professional?
You can (and should) clean the lint trap in your dryer regularly, and it’s wise to vacuum up visible lint behind the dryer. However, the dryer’s vent duct often runs through walls or ceilings, making it hard to fully clean without proper tools. Professional dryer vent cleaners use specialized brushes, high-powered vacuums, and even compressed air to reach the entire length of the vent and remove all lint and debris. This level of complete cleaning is difficult to achieve with DIY methods. Additionally, our technicians can identify issues like crushed or disconnected ducts that a homeowner might not notice. For a thorough, safe job that ensures maximum airflow, it’s best to hire a professional. It will give you peace of mind and could prevent hazards that DIY attempts might miss.
How long does a dryer vent cleaning take?
Not long at all – usually around 30 to 60 minutes. Most professional dryer vent cleanings (including our service) can be completed in well under an hour. The exact time can vary depending on the length of your vent and how clogged it is, but we work efficiently. We’ll also give you an estimate of how long it will take when we arrive. In any case, it’s a quick appointment that can save you a lot of time (and trouble) in the long run, considering how much longer a clogged vent can make your dryer run each load!
Do I need to be home for the service?
Yes, since we need access to the dryer and the interior vent connection, an adult will need to be home to let our technician in. You don’t need to do anything during the service – feel free to relax while we work. Our two-person team will handle the entire cleaning process. The appointment is typically brief (under an hour), so we won’t take up much of your day. If you have any special instructions for accessing your laundry area (for example, security system or pets to be aware of), just let us know when booking. We’ll make the service as smooth and convenient as possible for you.
Will dryer vent cleaning make a mess in my home?
We take steps to ensure zero mess is left behind. Our team uses drop cloths or covers as needed around the work area. As we clean the vent, all the loosened lint and debris is captured with our vacuum equipment. We also clean up any lint that may escape. You can expect your laundry room to be just as clean as before – except now all that hidden lint will be gone. Our technicians pride themselves on doing neat, careful work (and we always clean up after ourselves). Your dryer area will be safe, clean, and ready to use immediately after we finish.
