What sets our service apart is the way we approach each appointment. Instead of rushing through a checklist, our technicians take the time to explain what they see, outline your options, and deliver repairs or maintenance that fit your home’s needs.

How Often Should I Have My Dryer Vent Cleaned Professionally?

Most homeowners don’t realize just how quickly lint builds up inside a dryer vent. Even if you’re cleaning the lint trap after every load, small fibers escape into the vent line where they collect. Over the course of a year, that buildup can become significant enough to restrict airflow.

In Rocklin, where families often run multiple loads of laundry each week, professional cleaning should be scheduled at least once a year. For larger households or homes where the laundry room is located far from an exterior wall – meaning the vent run is longer – service may be needed more frequently.

Professional cleaning is different from simply brushing the first few feet of the vent yourself. Our technicians use specialized equipment to reach the entire length of the system, removing lint, debris, and any blockages that could slow airflow. The result is a dryer that performs more efficiently, with shorter cycles, lower energy use, and reduced risk of overheating. Annual service is the best way to keep the system running properly and avoid unnecessary repairs or hazards.

What Are Some of the Signs of a Blocked Dryer Vent?

A blocked dryer vent doesn’t happen all at once – it gives clear warning signs that many homeowners overlook until the problem becomes severe. In Rocklin, households should pay attention to both subtle and obvious changes in dryer performance. Common signs include:

• Longer Drying Times: If clothes that used to dry in one cycle now take two or more, airflow is restricted.
• Hot Laundry and/or Appliance: Clothes come out hot to the touch, or the dryer itself feels unusually warm.
• Unusual Smells: A burning or musty odor while the dryer runs often signals trapped lint.
• Excess Lint: Visible lint around the lint trap, dryer housing, or outside vent hood.

These issues aren’t just inconveniences. When airflow is restricted, the dryer has to work harder, which increases energy use and accelerates wear on the machine. For homes with gas dryers, the danger is greater – a blocked vent can cause carbon monoxide to back up indoors.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a professional dryer vent cleaning. Elite Fireplace Services provides full-system cleanings that restore airflow and help protect your home.
