Prevent Fire Hazards, Save Energy & Extend Appliance Life
Clogged dryer vents are more than just an inconvenience — they’re a serious fire hazard. Lint, dust, and debris can accumulate in your dryer vent over time, reducing efficiency, increasing energy bills, and even risking a house fire. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, thousands of house fires every year are caused by clogged dryer vents.
At Matty’s Carpet & Air Duct Cleaning, we provide professional dryer vent cleaning services in Thornton, CO, to help homeowners and property managers maintain safe, efficient dryer systems. If it’s been over a year since your last dryer vent inspection, now’s the time to act.
Why Dryer Vent Cleaning Is Important
Your dryer vent is responsible for pushing moist, hot air and lint from your dryer to the outside of your home. Over time, lint builds up in the vent, reducing airflow and forcing your dryer to work harder.
The Benefits of Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning:
✅ Fire Prevention:
Lint is highly flammable. Cleaning your vent reduces the risk of dryer-related house fires.
✅ Improved Dryer Efficiency:
A clean vent means your clothes dry faster and your appliance doesn’t work as hard.
✅ Lower Energy Bills:
Faster drying times = less electricity or gas used.
✅ Longer Appliance Life:
Reduced strain on your dryer helps prevent costly repairs and replacements.
✅ Healthier Air Quality:
A clogged vent can push moisture and allergens back into your home, contributing to mold growth and poor air circulation.
Signs You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning
Not sure if your dryer vent needs to be cleaned? Watch for these signs:
- Clothes take longer than usual to dry
- Dryer feels hot to the touch after a cycle
- Lint buildup visible around the vent or dryer
- Musty or burning smell while dryer is running
- Excess lint behind the dryer or outside the vent exit
- Dryer shuts off before cycle is complete (overheating)
If you notice one or more of these issues, schedule an inspection immediately.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process
At Matty’s, we use industry-approved techniques and professional-grade equipment to ensure a complete and safe cleaning from start to finish.
Step-by-Step Process:
- Vent & Dryer Inspection
We assess the condition of your dryer vent, including airflow, length, bends, and external exhaust. - Debris & Lint Removal
Using high-powered vacuums, rotary brushes, and air whips, we remove all lint, dust, and obstructions from the entire vent line — from the dryer to the vent exit. - Airflow Testing
We test airflow before and after cleaning to ensure the vent is completely clear and the system is working properly. - Safety Check & Recommendations
We inspect venting material, wall/floor connections, and exterior caps for safety and performance. If needed, we’ll recommend upgrades.
