Dryer Vent Cleaning

Why Cottonwood Shores Homes
Need a Dryer Vent Cleaning
Lake houses run their laundry in bursts. A weekend with guests puts through more loads than a normal week, then the machine sits unused for a fortnight with damp lint in the line behind it.
The terminations are the other half of the story. Hoods low on an exterior wall near the water are the most inviting opening on the house for wasps and birds, and a flap that no longer closes means the nest is already there. We open the hood, clear the run and fit a screen that actually lets air out.
In Cottonwood Shores that shows up across homes between Lake Marble Falls and Lake LBJ and original small-lot builds from the sixties and seventies alike.
Our Cottonwood Shores
Dryer Vent Cleaning Process
Every visit starts with the free inspection. You see the photographs before you see a price, and the price is written down before anything is touched.
Brush and air the whole line
A rotating brush the diameter of the duct, driven the full length, with air pushing the debris out of the termination rather than into the room.
Check the flap and the hood
A flap that does not open is as bad as a blocked line. We show you whether it moves and whether the screen behind it is the wrong kind.
Reconnect and test
The dryer goes back with a proper clamp, a run is started and the airflow at the cap is checked with you standing there.
Photographs of both ends
Before and after at the machine and at the termination, so the difference is a picture and not a claim.
Camera down the line where it earns its place
On a long or suspect run the camera goes in first, so the quote is based on what is actually in the pipe rather than on how the outside looks.
Check the transition hose
The flexible piece behind the machine crushes when the dryer is pushed back. It is the cheapest part of the whole system and the one most often kinked.

What We Find in
Cottonwood Shores Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Cottonwood Shores inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
Lint Packed in the Dryer Vent
Clothes take two cycles, the top of the dryer runs hot and the outside flap barely opens. That run gets cleared from the dryer to the cap.
Rooms Added Without Their Own Supply
One end of the house never cools no matter what the thermostat says. No amount of cleaning fixes that, so we measure the runs and quote the duct work separately.
Creosote and Cracked Flue Tiles
A fireplace that smokes back or has not been swept in years. We sweep, inspect and photograph the flue before the first cold front.
Thin or Uneven Attic Insulation
Bare spots, settled blown-in and unsealed can lights are the reason upstairs rooms never cool. We measure the depth on every attic visit.
Dust That Comes Back a Week After Cleaning
Grey fuzz on the registers and the furniture again. The supply lines and the return plenum are holding what the filter never caught.
Disconnected or Crushed Attic Ducts
A supply line blowing into the attic or a flattened flex run behind the water heater. Found on the inspection, sealed or replaced on the spot.

in Cottonwood Shores
Things Cottonwood Shores homeowners ask about that have nothing to do with the work itself, and everything to do with selling, insuring or getting an association form approved.
Small lots and short duct runs
On the original builds the whole system is short enough that cleaning is quick and honest. If the run is clean we say so and you owe nothing for the look.
Homes rented out by the weekend
Management companies want a dated service record for the dryer vent and the fireplace. We leave a written report with photos on every visit, which is the document they are asking for.
Wildlife in vents at ground level
A dryer hood a foot off the ground is an invitation. Screens and a working flap are the cheapest thing we sell and the most often missing here.
Selling the house
The inspection report a buyer orders has separate lines for the fireplace, the flue and the dryer exhaust, and the duct system gets looked at along with the equipment. A written report with photos before you list keeps all of that out of the negotiation.

Questions
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
Once a year for a normal household, more often with a long run, a family that does laundry daily, or a house with pets. We measure the run and tell you what interval it actually needs.
Is a blocked dryer vent really a fire risk?
It is the most common laundry-room fire cause there is. Lint is fuel, the dryer element is heat, and a blocked line holds both together. It is also the cheapest thing on our price list to fix.
Do you clean the vent from the roof?
Where the run terminates on the roof, yes, and we say so in the quote because roof type changes the work. Tile and metal roofs need more care and that is written down before we go up.
How long does it take?
A standard run is under an hour. A deep clean on a long or blocked line takes longer because both ends come off and the camera goes in.
Will you move the dryer?
Yes. The machine comes out, the line is cleared from the back of it, and it goes back with a proper clamp rather than tape.
Do you serve all of Cottonwood Shores?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. Cottonwood Shores is five miles from the office on RM 2147, about ten minutes. We pass through it on the way to Horseshoe Bay, so visits here get grouped with that side of the lake.
Can you do this on the same visit as the ducts?
Yes, and most people do. The same crew handles ducts, dryer vents, chimneys and attic insulation, so it is one trip to Cottonwood Shores and one written quote.
