Lint is the fire risk nobody sees. It builds inside the duct, chokes airflow, and forces the dryer to run hot and long. Signs: clothes hot to the touch but still wet, a laundry room that feels like a sauna, or an outside flap that never opens. Long vent runs through old Manhattan walls, up through a roof, with crushed foil hose at the back — that's a common setup here. We clear the full run and check the termination and connections.

Once a year works for most households. Go more often with a long duct run, several kids' worth of laundry, or a pet that sheds. If cycle times creep up before the year is out, that's your signal to schedule sooner.
Yes. Packed lint is fuel, and blocked exhaust makes the dryer run hotter than designed. Gas dryers can also push combustion byproducts back into the room. That's why we check the full run, not just the first few feet.
Only short, listed transition hose belongs there, and it can't be crushed against the wall. Inside walls and joists, rigid metal duct is what holds up. We swap out plastic or damaged foil when we find it.
Often, yes. Long vertical runs collect the most lint and need brushing from the accessible end with a vacuum pulling debris. We'll look at your setup and tell you straight if it needs a roof specialist instead.
Tell us the building rules when you call us — service elevator hours, a doorman, a certificate of insurance on file, or a fifth-floor walk-up. We pick an arrival window that fits those hours instead of showing up when the freight elevator is locked. If the super needs to let us in, give us that name too.
Call us or fill out the form. Describe what you hear, smell or see. Brand and rough age help. We ask a few questions so the tech arrives with likely parts on the truck.
Pick a window that works. Our tech tests the machine, checks power, water and drainage, then explains what failed in plain words. No jargon, no guessing out loud at your kitchen table.
Most jobs finish the same visit. If a part must be ordered, we tell you what and why. If the unit isn't worth fixing, we say that too, and you decide.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home — us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
Describe the fault, approve the written quote, get it fixed. Starting takes about a minute.
