According to the National Fire Protection Association, clogged dryer vents cause approximately 2,900 home fires every year, resulting in five deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property damage. The leading cause? Failure to clean the dryer vent. Longview Air Duct Pros provides fast, affordable dryer vent cleaning across East Texas — most jobs done in under an hour for $99–$149.
Warning Signs of a Clogged Dryer Vent
Watch for these red flags: clothes taking two or three cycles to dry; the dryer feeling unusually hot to the touch; a burning smell when the dryer is running; visible lint accumulating around the dryer or outside vent hood; the laundry room feeling humid or stuffy after drying; and the dryer automatically shutting off mid-cycle.
Any one of these signs means it's time to call. Most Longview homes need dryer vent cleaning once a year.
Our Complete Cleaning Process
We don't just vacuum the lint trap. Our dryer vent cleaning removes lint and debris from the entire vent system — from the back of your dryer all the way to the exterior exhaust hood. We use professional rotary brush systems and high-CFM vacuums.
First, we disconnect the dryer and clean the transition hose. Next, we run a rotating brush through the entire vent run, agitating compacted lint while our vacuum captures everything. We clean the exterior vent hood, replace any damaged flapper covers, and reconnect everything correctly.
Why DIY Cleaning Isn't Enough
Cleaning the lint trap and running a brush a few feet into the vent only removes a fraction of the buildup. The dangerous compacted lint accumulates in the elbows, transitions, and final exhaust point — places you can't reach without professional equipment.
Honest Pricing and Annual Service
Standard dryer vent cleaning runs $99–$149 depending on vent length, accessibility, and termination point. Most Longview homes fall at $129. We offer reduced pricing when combined with whole-home duct cleaning.
