What Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Service Includes

Dryer Vent Inspection

A Dryer Vent Inspection is the diagnostic step that determines whether your vent is partially blocked, fully obstructed, or improperly configured. In Sandy Springs, we regularly find crushed transition hoses behind dryers in newer townhomes near City Springs and flexible ductwork sagging in older ranch homes off Roswell Road. Our technician runs a high-definition inspection camera through the full vent run, the duct path from your dryer to the exterior termination, and documents every elbow, sag, and lint deposit with a timestamped photo.

You’ll need an inspection when your dryer takes longer than one cycle to dry a standard load, when you notice excessive heat in the laundry room, or before purchasing any home in Sandy Springs built between 2010 and 2025. CleanRun delivers the inspection findings as a written report with embedded photos, including airflow measurements taken with a calibrated anemometer, a device that measures air velocity in feet per minute. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires the written price for any recommended cleaning or repair to accompany this report before you decide.

We’ve found bird nests in vents terminating under second-story eaves in the Hillside neighborhood and disconnected ductwork in homes near Hammond Park where foundation settling separated joints. The inspection takes 20-30 minutes and is included as the first step of every full cleaning service.

Vent Cleaning

Vent Cleaning is the mechanical removal of lint and debris from the complete dryer exhaust system, including the transition hose, the duct run through walls or ceilings, and the exterior termination cap. Our Sandy Springs crews use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, industry-recognized brands that combine rotary brushing with negative-pressure extraction, a suction method that pulls dislodged debris into a sealed containment system rather than releasing it into your home.

You’ll need vent cleaning when inspection reveals airflow below 1,500 feet per minute at the exterior cap, when visible lint accumulates at the termination, or annually if you run more than five loads per week. CleanRun’s process includes cleaning the entire vent path, not just the accessible portions, and we photograph every section before and after. The photo record is delivered to you as part of the standard job documentation.

In Sandy Springs homes with rooftop terminations, common in the River Chase and Spalding Woods areas, we deploy extension equipment and ladder safety protocols to access and clean vertical runs up to 35 feet. The documented photo record proves the work reached the full length of the duct, not just the first few feet from the laundry room.

Lint Removal

Lint removal addresses the combustible fiber accumulation that builds up in every dryer vent system, particularly at elbows and low points where airflow velocity drops. Sandy Springs’ humid subtropical climate accelerates lint compaction, moisture from heavy summer humidity causes lint to clump and adhere to duct walls more aggressively than in drier regions. Our crews use specialized augers and compressed-air whipping tools to break up compacted lint without damaging flexible ductwork.

You’ll need dedicated lint removal when your dryer produces a burning smell, when lint visibly escapes the exterior cap, or when the inspection camera shows deposits exceeding one-half inch in thickness. CleanRun measures lint volume removed and documents this in your job record, we photographed a 4.7-pound removal from a single-family home near Abernathy Green in March 2024.

The lint removal process includes the dryer cabinet interior where accessible, the space behind the drum where lint bypasses the filter and accumulates near the heating element. This requires partial disassembly and is performed only with your written approval under Haven Standard Clause 1.

Vent Rerouting

Vent rerouting corrects improper duct configurations that create fire hazards or inefficiencies, including excessively long runs, too many elbows, or terminations in enclosed spaces like attics or crawl spaces. Sandy Springs building code, aligned with International Residential Code Section M1502, limits dryer vent runs to 35 feet with deductions for each 90-degree elbow. We’ve measured runs exceeding 50 feet in homes near Mount Vernon Highway where previous owners routed vents through multiple attic spaces to reach distant exterior walls, a problem our Roswell Dryer Vent Cleaning neighbors also encounter frequently.

You’ll need rerouting when your vent run exceeds code limits, when the termination point is inside a garage or crawl space, or when inspection reveals sagging flexible ductwork that traps lint in low points. CleanRun provides a written rerouting plan with a fixed price before any modification, including materials from Guardsman or Abatement Technologies, brands that manufacture code-compliant rigid aluminum ductwork and specialized termination hardware.

Our Sandy Springs crews have rerouted vents through interior walls to achieve shorter, straighter paths in homes near Pill Hill and created exterior wall terminations where rooftop routes had failed repeatedly. Every rerouting job includes updated airflow measurements and a new documented photo record of the modified system.

Bird Guard Installation

Bird guard installation prevents avian nesting and rodent entry through exterior vent terminations without restricting airflow below safe levels. Sandy Springs’ mature tree canopy in neighborhoods like Sandy Springs ITP and the Heards Ferry area attracts cavity-nesting birds that readily occupy 4-inch vent openings. Our guards use specifically designed mesh sizes, large enough to allow lint particles to exit but small enough to exclude starlings, sparrows, and squirrels.

You’ll need bird guard installation if you’ve previously removed nests, if you hear chirping or scratching from the vent, or if your termination cap lacks any screening. CleanRun installs Guardsman and Abatement Technologies guards rated for dryer vent applications, not hardware-store variants that clog with lint and create new fire hazards. The guard is photographed in place and included in your job documentation.

We check guard airflow resistance with our anemometer after installation, a guard that reduces exhaust velocity below 1,000 feet per minute will be removed and replaced with a higher-flow design. This measurement is recorded in your written job record.

Vent Cap Replacement

Vent cap replacement addresses damaged, missing, or improperly designed exterior terminations that allow water intrusion, pest entry, or lint accumulation at the exit point. Sandy Springs’ frequent thunderstorms and occasional freeze-thaw cycles degrade plastic caps within 3-5 years, we replace failed caps with aluminum or stainless steel terminations from Aprilaire and Honeywell, manufacturers that publish specific airflow ratings and weather-resistance specifications.

You’ll need cap replacement when the flapper sticks open or closed, when the cap is cracked or missing entirely, or when the design includes screens that trap lint. CleanRun’s replacement caps include backdraft dampers that seal when the dryer is not operating, preventing cold air infiltration in winter and conditioned air loss year-round. The specific cap model and its manufacturer airflow rating are noted in your written documentation.

We’ve replaced caps on second-story terminations in Sandy Springs townhomes and installed through-wall caps with integrated bird guards in single-family homes where roof penetrations were impractical. Every replacement is pressure-tested and photographed before the crew departs.

Brands We Service for Dryer Vent Cleaning

CleanRun technicians are trained on the vent configurations and specifications of major dryer manufacturers installed throughout Sandy Springs homes. We’ve serviced hundreds of Samsung and LG units, particularly the vented models common in homes built 2018-2023 near City Springs and the Abernathy Road corridor. These manufacturers specify rigid or semi-rigid metal venting only, and our crews document any existing flexible ductwork as a code deficiency requiring replacement. For Whirlpool, Maytag, and KitchenAid units, we stock OEM transition hoses and termination hardware that matches factory specifications for airflow resistance and fire rating.

We’ve also serviced Bosch, Miele, and Speed Queen installations in Sandy Springs’ higher-end construction, including vented compact units in multi-story townhomes where run length and elbow count require careful calculation. Whether you have a standard electric dryer, a gas unit with additional combustion-air requirements, or any other make, we can inspect, clean, and document the complete vent system to manufacturer and code standards. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman tools specified for residential dryer vent applications.

Before

Signs You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning Right Now

• Clothes take more than one cycle to dry. A standard load should dry in 45-60 minutes on medium heat. When lint buildup restricts airflow, moisture cannot exhaust efficiently, and the dryer compensates with longer run times. In Sandy Springs, we measure airflow below 1,000 feet per minute in approximately 60% of homes that report this symptom, indicating significant obstruction.
• The laundry room feels unusually hot or humid during dryer operation. Exhaust air leaking from disconnected or damaged ductwork raises room temperature and introduces moisture that can promote mold growth on adjacent surfaces. We’ve found separated joints behind dryers in Sandy Springs homes where vibration from the appliance gradually loosened clamp connections.
• You smell burning or scorched lint when the dryer runs. Lint is highly combustible, and restricted airflow causes the heating element or gas burner to operate at higher temperatures. This is a genuine fire hazard, the National Fire Protection Association reports dryer fires cause an estimated $200 million in property damage annually. If you notice this odor, discontinue dryer use and schedule inspection immediately.
• Visible lint accumulates at the exterior termination cap. Some lint escape is normal, but persistent buildup or lint visible on the exterior wall indicates the cap is clogged or the duct run is backing up. In Sandy Springs neighborhoods with dense tree cover like Ridgeview Heights, exterior caps also collect leaf debris that compounds the restriction.
• It’s been more than 12 months since your last professional cleaning. Annual cleaning is the maintenance interval recommended by dryer manufacturers and the NFPA, more frequently if you have a large household, pets that shed, or wash items that produce excess lint like blankets and towels. CleanRun maintains service records for repeat Sandy Springs customers and provides advance scheduling reminders.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Arrival and system verification. Our technician arrives in a marked CleanRun vehicle, uniformed and identified by name per Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We verify the dryer make and model, locate the exterior termination, and confirm access to both ends of the vent run. You’ll receive a written scope and price before any work begins, Haven Standard Clause 1.
2. 2
   Inspection with photo documentation. We insert a high-definition inspection camera through the complete duct run, capturing timestamped images of lint deposits, joint conditions, and any damage. Airflow velocity is measured at the exterior cap with a calibrated anemometer. These findings are reviewed with you before proceeding.
3. 3
   Mechanical cleaning with negative-pressure extraction. Using Rotobrush or Nikro equipment matched to your duct configuration, we dislodge lint and debris while simultaneous suction captures it in a sealed containment system. The rotary brush adapts to duct diameter and navigates elbows without damaging flexible sections. For rigid metal ductwork, we may use compressed-air whipping tools that reach deposits brush heads cannot contact.
4. 4
   Post-cleaning verification and photo record. The inspection camera is run again to document the cleaned condition of every accessible section. Airflow is remeasured and compared to pre-cleaning values, a properly cleaned vent typically shows 40-60% improvement in exhaust velocity. Before-and-after photos are compiled into your job documentation.
5. 5
   Written deliverables and warranty registration. You receive the complete photo record, airflow measurements, and a written summary of work performed. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is activated automatically, if any issue arises from our cleaning within one year, we return at no charge. Payment is processed only after you’ve reviewed and accepted the documentation.
