Why is my dryer taking too long to dry clothes?

Long drying times are often caused by lint buildup, damaged or crushed ductwork, or improper vent installation. These issues restrict airflow and force your dryer to work harder to dry each load.

How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned?

Most Rutherford County homes should have dryer vents cleaned at least once a year. Homes with pets, large households, or frequent laundry use may need more frequent service.

Can clogged dryer vents cause a house fire?

Yes. Lint is highly flammable, and restricted airflow can cause dryers to overheat. Regular vent cleaning significantly reduces fire risk.

How long does residential dryer vent service take?

Most residential dryer vent services are completed within 60 to 90 minutes, depending on vent length and accessibility.

Will fixing my dryer vent help lower my energy bills?

Absolutely. Proper airflow allows your dryer to run more efficiently, reducing drying time, energy use, and wear on the appliance.
