About us

Why you should have your dryer vent professionally cleaned and inspected. The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that there will be 16,000 dryer fires this year. These fires amount to over $100,000,000 in property damage annually. Routine maintenance and cleaning helps to reduce these incidents as well as reduce increased utility costs, and also extends the life of your appliances. Lint build-up in dryer vents is an extreme fire hazard. It also causes the dryer to work harder resulting in higher operating costs and increased repair bills. Many local fire prevention ordinances and insurance companies are now mandating that dryer vents in condominium complexes, town houses, and other facilities be cleaned annually, and repaired if necessary, to prevent any risk of fire. This, in many cases, includes the replacement of all white vinyl flexible venting hose. This type of venting should be replaced with flexible, all metal venting materials. How we professionally clean the dryer vent system Many people claim to professionally clean dryer vent systems. While there are many systems out there beware of anyone who claims to professionally clean dryer vent systems with a leaf blower! While this may get rid of some of the loose lint, without the use of a rotary brush, the majority of the lint built up will remain stuck to the inside of the duct work and you will have wasted your hard earned money. Our company uses the RoVac System which is the most advanced equipment of its type. Using a combination of suction from a high powered vacuum and rotating brushes, dangerous lint is removed safely and effectively, both in the venting system and in the dryer itself. Once the cleaning is completed, the system is tested for proper air flow. The RoVac system also contains the specialty tools needed to remove blockages such as birds nests and can be used to pinpoint the location of problems within a wall or ceiling.

dryer vent cleaning

During a conversation with my neighbor, I learned that he had experienced a problem with his dryer and had set up a service call with the company from whom he had purchased the dryer. Meanwhile, before the service date, he discovered that the dryer vent had become significantly clogged with lint. The sales/service company didn't do cleaning but recommended Atlantic Vent. He called them and they came the next morning. Since our homes are the same age and neither of us had had the dryer vents checked in 15 years, I asked the Atlantic Vent technician if he would check and clean my ductwork after he finished next door. I had the satisfaction of observing his performance at my neighbors' home and was suitably impressed. As arranged, the technician (Bill) came over and proceeded to dismantle, inspect and clean out the dryer vent (about a 5 gallon can worth, I estimate), vacuumed and swept up the floor around the washer & dryer, and replaced a section of the interior vent which had been improperly installed years ago. I want to add that the dryer in this house is on the first floor and the vent leads through the ceiling, an attic space above and exits the roof at the level of the ceiling of the second story...weirdly creating a vertical duct some 20 feet tall before opening to the outside. The entire process at my home took about 45 minutes. Bill cleaned up completely, made out an invoice for a credit card payment, and was on his way to the next appointment in under an hour. In addition, we had some very helpful discussion about vent/duct safety during that time. Overall, it was an educational experience what helped us sleep better at night and convinced us that we would repeat this service again in the next several years.
Description of Work: Inspection and cleaning of dryer vent, upgrading interior section of vent and clean-up of laundry area.

Our home is approximately 15 years old, and we began to notice it was taking longer for our clothes to dry. They responded promptly, and you would NOT believe the lint and other garbage they were able to remove...absolutely amazing!!!
Description of Work: I had been made aware of Atlantic Vent through mutual friends, and we contacted them to provide dryer vent cleaning services. We also had them change the vent hose while they were here.
