Dryer Duct Cleaning
Prevent Fire Hazards & Improve Dryer Efficiency
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, clothes dryers account for approximately 2,900 home fires each year, with failure to clean dryer vents being the leading cause. Lint accumulation restricts airflow, causes overheating, and creates a serious fire hazard.
SaniTech Services provides professional dryer duct cleaning for residential properties, multi-unit buildings, laundromats, and commercial facilities. Our technicians use specialized rotary brush systems and high-powered vacuums to remove lint buildup from the entire vent run.
Regular dryer duct cleaning not only prevents fires but also reduces drying times, lowers energy costs, and extends the life of your dryer equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should dryer ducts be cleaned?
We recommend annual cleaning for residential dryers and more frequent cleaning for commercial or multi-unit facilities with heavy use. Signs that cleaning is needed include longer drying times, excessive heat, and a burning smell.
Can you service multi-unit apartment buildings?
Yes. We regularly service multi-unit residential buildings, condominiums, and apartment complexes. We can coordinate with building management to schedule unit-by-unit cleaning.
How long does a dryer duct cleaning take?
A typical residential dryer duct cleaning takes 30-60 minutes. Multi-unit buildings are quoted based on the number of units and vent configurations.
What are the signs my dryer duct needs cleaning?
Warning signs include: clothes taking longer than one cycle to dry, the dryer feeling excessively hot, a burning smell during operation, visible lint around the dryer hose connection, and the exterior vent flap not opening properly.
Do you clean the dryer itself?
Our service focuses on the vent ductwork from the dryer to the exterior termination. We also clean the lint trap housing area and check the exterior vent cover for obstructions.
