Why is my dryer taking so long to dry clothes?

If your dryer is taking multiple cycles to dry clothes, the most common cause is a clogged or restricted dryer vent.

Lint builds up inside the ductwork over time, reducing airflow and preventing moist air from escaping properly. When airflow is restricted, the dryer cannot remove moisture efficiently, which leads to longer drying times and higher energy bills.

In many cases, homeowners assume their dryer is worn out and replace it — only to discover the new dryer has the exact same problem. Once the dryer vent is properly cleaned, the dryer usually works like new again.

Yes — and this is one of our specialties.

Roof dryer vents are one of the most commonly missed areas during dryer vent cleaning because many companies simply do not have the knowledge or equipment to safely reach them.

We regularly clean dryer vents that terminate through the roof using:

  • 24-foot ladders

  • 32-foot ladders

  • telescopic ladders for tight access areas

Cleaning the vent from the roof ensures the termination vent cap and duct are fully cleared, restoring proper airflow. We often modify the vent to allow more lint to escape to the outside.

Yes. Lint is extremely flammable, and when airflow is restricted, heat builds up inside the dryer and vent system.

According to fire safety reports, clogged dryer vents are one of the leading causes of dryer fires in homes.

Regular dryer vent cleaning helps reduce this risk and keeps your dryer operating safely.

Most homes should have the dryer vent professionally cleaned 2 years if you read the manual, we always make recommendations based on the setup, amount of use, we typically recommend 3 years+.

However, more frequent cleaning may be required if:

  • You do a lot of laundry

  • You have pets that produce lint and hair

  • The dryer vent run is long & complicated with lots of elbows.

  • The vent goes through the roof

  • Drying times are getting longer
