We love a good DIY project. But certain home maintenance projects should really be left to professionals. Dryer vent cleaning is one of those projects. I’ve seen a number of DIY dryer vent cleaning attempts go wrong.

A lack of experience can cause rods to break or get stuck, particularly when there is excessive clogging and/or various elbows in the exhaust system. 

Take a look at the video below to see one example where a DIY attempt didn’t turn out as planned. The homeowner called us to retrieve the stuck rods and properly clean the dryer vent.

A certified professional is the best idea for annual dryer vent maintenance, saving you time, money and peace of mind.
