Dryer Vent Cleaning in the North & Northwest Suburbs
Lint builds up inside dryer vents over time. A clogged vent makes your dryer run longer, wastes energy and is a real fire risk. MMDS cleans dryer vents from the dryer connection all the way to the outside hood, so air moves the way it should.
Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Cleaning
- Clothes take more than one cycle to dry
- The dryer or laundry room gets unusually hot
- You smell something burning or musty when the dryer runs
- The outside vent flap barely opens, or you see lint around it
- It’s been more than a year or two since the vent was cleaned
What We Do
- Clean the full vent run with professional brushes and air
- Clear the outside hood and check the damper
- Inspect the transition hose behind the dryer and replace plastic or crushed foil hose
- Check for long runs, sharp bends or disconnected joints
If you’re also having your air ducts cleaned or your furnace tuned up, we can do it on the same visit.

FAQ
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
For most homes, about once a year. Large families, long vent runs or vents that exit through the roof may need it more often.
Can a clogged dryer vent cause a fire?
Yes. Lint is very flammable, and a blocked vent traps heat. Regular cleaning is one of the easiest ways to lower that risk.
Do you clean vents that go out through the roof?
Yes. We’ll let you know when we book if the roof access needs anything special.
