Dryer Vent Cleaning & Repair in New York City — Book a Visit Today
Hot laundry room, lint on the floor, clothes that never quite dry: those three together usually point at the vent, not the dryer. Long duct runs are common in New York City buildings, and crushed flex hose behind the machine makes it worse. We clear the line end to end, check the exterior flap, and replace kinked or torn sections with proper rigid pipe where it fits. Blocked vents are a fire concern, so we take them seriously. Book a look through the quote form, or call us and tell us how long your cycles run.

Dryer Vent Cleaning & Repair in New York City — quick answers
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
Once a year works for most households. Bigger families, pets that shed, or long duct runs through a basement ceiling may need it more often. If drying times have crept up over a season, that's your real signal, not the calendar.
Can I just use a leaf blower on the vent?
It pushes some loose lint but skips the packed layer stuck to the duct walls. Rotary brushes scrub that coating off. Blowers also can't tell you about a crushed elbow or a joint that came apart inside a wall cavity.
Is rigid metal duct better than the flexible kind?
Rigid or semi-rigid metal is smoother inside, so lint has less to grab. Plastic and foil accordion hose traps lint in every ridge and crushes easily behind a dryer. We swap those out when we find them.
My vent goes up through the roof. Can that be cleaned?
Yes. Long vertical runs are common in older twins and split-levels. They collect more lint because gravity works against the airflow. We brush from the accessible end and check exit airflow to confirm the whole run is clear.
How soon can someone get to my building in New York City?
Usually within a day or two, and often sooner. Traffic and parking shape our routes, so we give you an arrival window rather than a single minute. Tell us the buzzer, the floor, and whether there's an elevator when you call us — that saves real time on arrival.
