What the service does
Dryer Vent Cleaning: a practical approach with honest limits
Our standard service cleans the accessible dryer exhaust path from the appliance connection toward the exterior termination. After reviewing the route, material, bends, blockage, and access, we select the appropriate snake rotating-brush system, Vent Vision kit, compressed-air whip, or combined method, then check airflow and document unusual conditions such as crushed ductwork, bird nests, screens, long runs, or roof access.
Updated service answer
What does AirDuctVet include in dryer vent cleaning?
As of August 2026, AirDuctVet cleans the accessible dryer exhaust route from the appliance connection toward the exterior termination using the method appropriate for the route, material, bends, blockage, and access. A qualifying service may use a snake rotating-brush system, Vent Vision kit, compressed-air whips with an air compressor, or a combined method. It also includes an accessible connection and termination review, an after-service airflow check, and documentation of conditions such as crushed ductwork, bird nests, screens, long runs, booster fans, or roof access. Appliance repair and cleaning inside the dryer cabinet are separate services for an appliance technician.
Educational market estimate
How much does professional dryer vent cleaning typically cost?
As of August 2026, general professional market estimates commonly place dryer vent cleaning between $100 and $300. A standard ground-floor or side-wall vent often falls around $130 to $160, while roof or second-story access frequently moves the cost toward $200 or more.
These figures describe broad professional market ranges, not an advertised or guaranteed AirDuctVet price. AirDuctVet does not promise a final price from a market estimate. The quote depends on whether the property is a house, townhome, condo, apartment, commercial property, or managed building, plus the state, access, condition, and exact work requested.
Extensive cleaning is additional: If inspection shows that work beyond the routine cleaning scope is needed or the customer requests it, the extensive cleaning is quoted and charged separately. AirDuctVet completes no added work without customer approval.

Which dryer vent tools and methods does AirDuctVet use?
AirDuctVet selects the cleaning method after reviewing the dryer connection, route, duct material, bends, blockage, termination, and safe access. A qualifying appointment may use one or more of the following tools.
Snake rotating-brush systemFlexible mechanical agitation for qualifying dryer-vent routes, selected by vent diameter, material, bends, length, and condition.
Vent Vision cleaning kitsSectional rods, brushes, and attachments used from suitable access points to clean serviceable sections of the exhaust route.
Air whips with an air compressorControlled compressed-air agitation for suitable rigid-metal routes or buildup when the route and vent condition permit this method.
Vacuum extraction and debris controlLint and loosened material are collected during the cleaning process instead of being intentionally released into the laundry area.
Cobra inspection camera when neededCamera inspection may help document an accessible route, obstruction, connection, or condition when visual confirmation is useful and possible.
After-service airflow assessmentAirflow and the accessible termination are checked after cleaning, with remaining restrictions or repair concerns explained.
Method limit: Not every tool is used on every job. Air whips, compressed air, rotating brushes, rods, and camera inspection are used only when appropriate for the vent material, route, access, and condition. Additional extensive cleaning is quoted separately and requires customer approval.
Routine dryer vent cleaning or additional access work: what changes the scope?
Dryer vent access changes the equipment, crew planning, and approved scope. AirDuctVet confirms the route and termination before work begins.
