Protect your dryer from birds and fire hazards

Birds can enter dryer vents, build nests, and completely block airflow, causing overheating, potential fire hazards, and costly machine damage. When backdraft dampers fail to close properly, they invite birds inside. Their claws can also tear soft vent connections, allowing birds into ceiling spaces. Regular dryer vent cleaning and proper vent protection help prevent these costly problems.

6 signs your dryer vent is blocked

A blocked vent is one of the most common causes of dryer fires. If you notice any of these, call us.

01

Clothes take two cycles to dry

Poor airflow means longer drying and extra strain on your dryer.

02

Dryer shuts off or shows an error code

Many dryers stop on their own when the vent is restricted.

03

The dryer is very hot to the touch

Heat that can't escape outside builds up inside the machine.

04

Musty smell or a damp laundry room

Moisture stays inside your home instead of venting outside.

05

It runs but doesn't heat

Often a safety cutoff tripped by overheating from a blocked vent.

06

Lint around the dryer or a burning smell

Stop using the dryer and call us right away.

Have a white vinyl dryer duct?

If the white vinyl hose connects your dryer to the wall, we can easily swap it out for you. If the duct hidden inside your walls is white vinyl, it must be replaced.

How it works

1

Call or request a quote

Tell us what's going on. We give you a price and book a time that suits you.

2

Two technicians, about 30 minutes

Two technicians work at once, one inside and one outside. Most jobs take about 30 minutes. A first cleaning after years can take longer.

3

Safer, faster drying

We show you what we found and what we did. No surprises on the bill.

Keep your dryer safe

A dryer that can't exhaust properly gets extremely hot and can catch fire. Most problems we see come from a few simple habits.

Clean the filter after every load

Lint that stays in the filter ends up in your duct.

Don't overload the machine

Smaller loads dry faster and push less lint into the vent.

Leave space behind the dryer

Pushing it against the wall crushes the connection. Safety before looks.

Book regular cleanings

Don't wait for a problem. Clean before the cold weather hits.

 

⚠ Never leave home or take a nap with your dryer running.

An absolute pleasure to work with. Booked them to clean the dryer vents of our condo (seven units). They were punctual, professional, and thorough. Communication was great and updates were prompt and clear. …

They came back in February for a 3 story condo. It was really blocked and the vent was up on the roof. They did an amazing job unclogging it all and checking every unit afterwards. …

Common questions

How much does a dryer vent cleaning cost?

Every home is different. The price depends on your area and location, whether it's regular maintenance or a first cleaning, the height and access of the exterior vent, and whether your machines are stacked and we can reach the back of the dryer. Call us or request a free quote for an exact price.

How long does a visit take?

About 30 minutes with two technicians. A first cleaning, or one that hasn't been done in years, can take longer.

Can you clean my vent in winter?

Yes, on milder days, but it's best to clean before the cold. Each full load sends about half a gallon of water outside. In a clogged duct, that water mixes with lint, freezes and thaws, and can form an ice plug at the exterior vent. The weight can break pipe connections and cause leaks, stains and mould in walls and ceilings. Ducts running through the attic are especially at risk.

Which areas do you serve?

We serve the entire island of Montréal, the North Shore and the South Shore.
