Quick answer
Dryer vent cleaning removes the lint that builds up inside the duct between your dryer and the outside vent. A clogged line makes loads take longer, makes the dryer run hot and raises the risk of a dryer fire. Crystal Air Duct Solutions cleans the full length, removes nests and blockages at the cap, and tests airflow before and after.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dryer Vent Cleaning done thoroughly, by the owner
The lint screen in your dryer catches only part of the lint. The rest travels into the vent line and collects at bends, joints and the outside cap, especially on the long runs common in Malibu homes, where dryers often vent through a roof or across a garage.
Our owner has cleaned dryer vents for more than 20 years. We clean single-family homes, condos, townhomes and rentals, including rooftop and second-floor vents that are hard to reach yourself.
Call (310) 361-9813 any time; the phone is answered 24/7, and appointments run every day from 6 AM to 8 PM.
What's included
- Airflow reading at the outside vent before we start
- Lint removed from the full run with rotary brushes and vacuum

- Rooftop and second-floor vent terminations
- Final airflow reading so you can see the difference
Signs your dryer vent needs cleaning
Clothes still damp after a full cycle, a dryer that feels hot to the touch, a burning smell, a hot laundry room, or lint around the outside vent flap all point to a restricted vent.
Most homes should clean the dryer vent once a year. Large families, rentals with frequent turnover, and vents longer than about 25 feet may need it twice a year.
How it works
What to expect
Every job follows the same careful steps.
Inspect
We look inside the registers, returns and accessible duct runs and show you photos of what we find before quoting.
Protect
Floors, furniture and the area around each vent are covered before any equipment comes inside.
Connect the vacuum
A high-powered vacuum is connected to the system so loosened dust is pulled out, not pushed into your rooms.
Brush and clean
Rotary brushes and air whips work through each supply and return run, boot and register.
Fix what is needed
Loose connections, torn tape or damaged sections we find are pointed out, with repair options before any extra work.
Walk through the results
You see before-and-after photos, and we answer every question before we leave.
Questions
Questions we hear often
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
Once a year for most homes, and every six months for large households, rentals or long vent runs.
Can you clean a rooftop dryer vent?
Yes. We clean vents that exit through the roof, including the vertical run and the roof cap, which is common in condos and multi-story homes.
Do you remove bird nests from dryer vents?
Yes. We remove nests and debris from the outside opening, clean the line and check that the vent flap closes properly.
Can you replace a foil or plastic dryer hose?
Yes. We can replace flimsy foil or plastic transition hoses with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. See our dryer vent repair page.
