Dryer Vent Cleaning in Eugene, Oregon
Clogged dryer vents are the #1 preventable cause of residential fires. They also make your dryer work 40% harder, quietly inflating your power bill. We clean the full run — from lint trap to exterior hood — and certify it done.
- Full vent run cleaned — trap, duct, roof or wall exit, and outdoor hood
- Brush-and-vacuum method reaches every corner, not just the easy parts
- Airflow measured before and after so you see the improvement
- Certificate of cleaning provided for insurance records
Why dryer vent cleaning is non-negotiable in Eugene homes
Dryer lint fires cause ~15,000 house fires a year in the U.S. Almost every one of them is preventable with a single hour of maintenance. What most homeowners don't realize is that lint builds up steadily inside the full duct run — not just the lint trap most people clean weekly.
Eugene homes are particularly vulnerable because our wet climate means more loads per week, longer drying cycles, and more moisture inside duct runs (which causes lint to compact and cling). A clogged vent also pushes humid, hot air back into your laundry room — leading to moisture problems over time.
We clean the entire vent run with a rotating brush and industrial vacuum — from the lint trap through the duct, up through the roof vent or out the wall, and including the exterior flap. Then we measure airflow so you can see your dryer is breathing properly again.
What's included
Every visit is end-to-end — you don't need to source materials, do prep work, or clean up after we leave.
Disconnect and deep-clean at source
Dryer pulled out, transition hose disconnected, trap housing vacuumed. This is where the most flammable lint hides.
Full duct brush-and-vacuum
Rotating brush on a flexible rod works through the full duct length, with industrial vacuum suction pulling every bit of lint back out.
Exterior vent hood cleaning
We clear the exterior flap and surrounding housing — these get blocked with lint mats and bird nests in Eugene homes.
Airflow measurement
Before-and-after airflow reading at the exterior vent so you see the improvement. Most homes gain 30%+ airflow.
Transition hose inspection
If your transition hose is the foil/accordion kind, we flag it — those are a fire hazard and should be swapped to semi-rigid metal.
Certificate of cleaning
Texted record with date, airflow readings, and photos — useful for insurance and for selling your home.

Frequently asked
How often should I clean my dryer vent?+
Annually for most homes. Households that do 5+ loads per week, homes with long duct runs (over 25 feet), or homes that have never been cleaned should plan on every 6 months.
How do I know my dryer vent needs cleaning?+
Warning signs: clothes take longer than one cycle to dry, the dryer feels hot to the touch after a cycle, you smell burning, lint shows around the door seal, or you've never had it cleaned. Any of these = book a cleaning.
Why not just clean the lint trap?+
The lint trap only catches about 70% of lint. The other 30% collects inside the duct, compacting over years into a flammable layer. That's the part that causes fires.
Do you clean roof vents?+
Yes. Most Eugene single-story homes vent out the wall; many two-stories vent through the roof. Roof vents are priced slightly higher due to ladder access but cleaned the same way.
Will this save me money?+
Most customers see 30%+ faster drying times after a cleaning. A typical household running 5 loads per week will see $80–$150 per year in reduced electricity, plus less wear on the dryer itself.
Is dryer vent cleaning required by insurance?+
Not usually required, but some insurers discount homeowners who can document annual cleaning. After a dryer fire claim, insurance often checks cleaning records — having the certificate on file is worth something.
What if my vent is clogged to the point of failure?+
We can handle severe clogs. In rare cases of full duct compaction, we'll recommend a follow-up visit or a duct replacement — with honest quotes, no upsell pressure.
