Dryer Vent Cleaning & Repair in Cornwall & SDG

A clogged or damaged dryer vent can cause poor dryer performance and restrict the airflow needed for your dryer to operate properly.

Over time, lint, dust and debris can build up inside the dryer vent, causing clothes to take longer to dry and making the dryer work harder. The vent itself can also become damaged, crushed, disconnected or deteriorated.

At SDG Duct Cleaning, we provide professional dryer vent cleaning, inspection and dryer vent repair throughout Cornwall, Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry and surrounding Eastern Ontario communities.

Signs Your Dryer Vent May Need Cleaning

Some common signs of a restricted dryer vent include:

• Clothes taking longer than normal to dry
• The dryer becoming unusually hot during operation
• A hot or humid laundry room
• A burning smell while the dryer is operating
• Excessive lint around the dryer or exterior vent
• Weak airflow from the exterior dryer vent
• The exterior vent flap not opening properly

If your dryer is taking considerably longer to dry clothes than it used to, the vent is one of the first things worth checking.

What We Do During a Dryer Vent Cleaning

Our dryer vent cleaning service includes:

• Inspecting the accessible dryer vent system
• Cleaning accumulated lint and debris from the vent
• Checking for restrictions in the vent
• Inspecting accessible connections
• Checking the exterior dryer vent termination
• Making sure the exterior flap can open properly
• Checking airflow after the cleaning

Our goal is to leave the dryer with a clean, unrestricted exhaust path to the outdoors.

Damaged Dryer Vent Repair & Replacement

Cleaning isn't always the solution.

Sometimes the problem is the dryer vent itself.

Dryer venting can become crushed, disconnected, damaged or deteriorated over time. Poorly installed venting can also create unnecessary restrictions that reduce airflow.

If we find damaged venting during our inspection, SDG Duct Cleaning can repair or replace accessible damaged dryer vent sections when appropriate.

If you're not sure whether your dryer vent needs to be cleaned, repaired or replaced, we can inspect it and explain what we find.

How Often Should a Dryer Vent Be Cleaned?

There isn't one cleaning schedule that applies to every home.

How quickly lint accumulates depends on factors such as how often the dryer is used, the length and configuration of the vent and the condition of the venting.

For many households, having the dryer vent inspected and cleaned about once a year is a reasonable starting point. Homes with frequent dryer use or longer vent runs may require more frequent attention.
