How a house looks from the street counts for a lot in Coral Gables, and a metal hood on a front elevation is not something owners here accept. So the exhaust goes the long way around: down a hall, across the back of the house and out a rear wall, or up and through the roof. That is the right call for the house and a real cost mechanically. A dryer is built to push its exhaust a limited distance, and every bend takes a bite out of what is left. Once a run is long enough, lint stops making it to the outside and starts dropping out wherever the air slows, usually just past an elbow. From then on the run is effectively shorter still.
Where the vent goes up instead of out, it comes through barrel tile, and that is not a detail to treat casually. Tile cracks under concentrated weight, and the flashing where a pipe passes through it is doing a job a cleaning has no business disturbing. Most roof-terminated runs can be worked from the laundry end, up the riser and back down, which leaves the roof alone. The exception is a hood that has failed outright, packed solid or lost its flap. Replacing a roof termination is dryer vent repair, not part of a cleaning, and it helps to know which one you are being offered.

What sets us apart
The Whole Line, From the Dryer to the Outside Wall
Most of the lint that causes trouble is nowhere near the back of the dryer. We clean the complete vent path — from the dryer connection out to the exterior termination, not just the accessible first few feet — then confirm airflow at the outside vent and check that the flap opens the way it should. If the line turns out to be damaged rather than dirty, we show you: a crushed duct or a hood that no longer closes is a repair, and no amount of cleaning fixes it.

The Lint That Was in the Line
Dryer vent cleaning pulls the packed lint out of the vent line behind your dryer. That lint is what makes a dryer run hot and take two cycles to dry a load — and it is the reason a clogged vent is a fire risk. Every one of these came out of a South Florida home.
