Vent Busters uses a high powered vacuum and special brushing system to extract all of the lint from the duct-work. This process completely cleans the system and does not leave any dust in the home. We also remove any built up lint from your dryer, around the machine and provide a super efficient installation to the duct-work.
Our technicians are more than happy to provide education on dryer vents, laundry usage and general household maintenance. We can also repair exterior vent caps and install bird guards during service.
Our technicians wear N95 masks while inside your home. We are keeping social distancing and avoiding unnecessary contact during working and personal hours. At the end of service we disinfect the dryer, door knobs and anything we came into heavy contact with.
In the event that your dryer exhausts to the roof it is very important to make sure the roof cap is working properly. Roof runs tend to get clogged at the cap and can cause a heavy blockage even if the duct is clean. I usually clean the vent from the laundry room to the roof. A camera is sent up the pipe to the roof cap and checked for issues. If there is heavy build up or an issue with the baffle we will manually clean it. I can access most roofs but in the event of a dangerous pitch or tricky placement the roof cap can usually be cleaned from the attic.
If you suspect there is a problem or there is a "zero airflow" situation I will usually go inspect the actual pipe. Before the cleaning we perform a variety of pressure and visual tests. If I detect a problem then I will go for a full inspection and come up with a solution.
I prefer to take my shoes off at the door. I do a lot of in and out and taking booties on and off is a tripping hazard. If you prefer I always have fresh booties and shoe covers available. Either way I will never walk on carpeting with boots on and will not track dirt/mud into the home.
I protect floors and carpets by using thick canvas and hard skit mats to pull the machine out. The legs of the dryer never come into contact with the flooring. If you have a heavy stack setup or laundry center I carry an inflatable appliance mover that lifts the machines and floats them out with little effort. Not damaging floors is a top priority and taken very seriously.
No. Some companies will low ball a "service price" to get in the door and then charge more based on the length of the run. My price is based on how difficult it is to access behind the dryer and the outside vent cap. The length of the vent doesn't play a roll in price as the cleaning procedure is the same.
Most dryer fires and efficiency issues start at the hose that connects your dryer to the ductwork. The installation of the machine plays a huge roll. Simply cleaning out the vent and ignoring the installation can be dangerous and careless. Most dryer transition hoses I inspect can be improved or are in need of repair. When I leave your home I want to guarantee the entire system is clean, efficient and safe. Besides, pulling out the dryer provides a good time to find all those missing socks and hangers!
I don't recommend hooking a leaf blower to a dryer vent. These vents are not meant for 300mph+ of airflow and a poorly designed system can come apart and split open. 300mph of lint blowing into your crawl space or ceilings is not good. A leaf blower will shoot lint all over the neighborhood and doesn't clean the entire duct. Lint is damp and sticks to the walls of the duct. It must be scraped off by brushes or similar agitation. We have cleaned thousands of dryer vents and never needed to use a leaf blower.
This service includes inspection of your bathroom vents, removal of nesting if applicable, the repair of damaged vent cap and installation of a plastic bird guard or metal mesh. Birds love to nest in open vents and can cause disease, structural damage, bug infestations, bad smells. The cost of cleaning and protecting your outside vents is a fraction of the damage that can be caused by long term infestation.

We will always evaluate your vents and provide solutions and a firm price before proceeding. Unless there are major differences or problems the final invoice is usually the same or a little less than the online estimate.

If you find your home has plastic, pvc or flexible tubing as the main run for your dryer vent it should certainly be replaced with rigid ducting. Installing or replacing a dryer vent can be a daunting task. We have experience installing dryer vents in crawlspaces, attics, walls, roofs and are experts at navigating and working in these tight dark conditions. All of our projects have the goal to create a safe, efficient and cost effective exhaust system for your dryer. Repairs and replacements in crawlspaces and attics vary from job to job. We like to evaluate these types of issues and come up with a quote in the home. Services include repairing, sealing, hanging damaged vents. Complete replacement of flexible hose with rigid piping. Lint cleanup and more.
This service is an evaluation of the current dryer vent (if any) and a solution to repair, replace or reroute it. There is a $50 fee for this service. During the inspection we will most likely be in your crawlspace or attic and will spend around an hour at your home. In the unlikely event that we cannot solve your problem, the evaluation is on us.
** Note: We are booking 1-2 weeks out during the warmer months. If the needed repairs are minor our technician can take care of it during the inspection. If the project is more involved or a full replacement it may be another 1-2 weeks until we can come back to do the work **
