Residential Dryer Vent Cleaning in Michigan
Clogged dryer vents are among the leading causes of house fires. Modernistic’s professional dryer vent cleaning is a fundamental part of the fire safety plan for your home, as it is a thorough and effective way to remove the highly flammable lint that builds up in the vent over time.
Enhance Your Safety With Dryer Vent Cleaning
Some clothing lint will find its way into the dryer vent. Flexible dryer hoses are more prone to collecting lint, and that buildup can make your dryer less effective but can also cause a fire.
Over 25% of house fires have been traced to highly flammable lint buildup. If the dryer vent is blocked or harmed, excess heat can cause a fire. Modernistic provides professional dryer vent cleaning to eliminate these risks.
Trust Michigan’s Residential Dryer Vent Experts
Some dryer vents are easy to access and vent directly to the outdoors. Others run the entire length of your home and still others are difficult to reach on the second floor.
In order to ensure that the entire length of the vent is properly cleaned, count on the Modteam to use the most powerful dryer vent cleaning tools in the industry, paired with expertise and commitment to your 100% delight with a Customer Delight Guarantee!
Using a powerful reverse air whip, our NADCA-certified air duct cleaning technicians can clean your dryer vent at the same time as your air duct cleaning. Or if you’d prefer, we can make a special visit just to check this important safety item off your list.

Benefits of Dryer Vent Cleaning
Here’s why it’s important to keep your Dryer Vents clean:
Fire Safety Is Key
Dryer lint is highly flammable. Every time you use your dryer, your dryer vent collects lint from your laundry. It only takes one spark to ignite this dry, highly flammable material. If your vent becomes obstructed, the heat your dryer produces cannot escape and the chance for fire increases dramatically. Having your dryer vent cleaned by Modernistic every six months to a year will reduce this risk.
Your Clothes Will Dry Faster
Have you ever had to run your clothes through a second cycle before they’re truly dry? Even a third? Your clothes staying damp is great indicator that your dryer vent needs some TLC. If it’s not venting properly, your dryer cannot run as efficiently and you will waste time and suffer inconvenience cycling your clothes through the dryer multiple times. Professional cleaning makes a remarkable difference!
Save Energy, Save Money
A clogged dryer vent makes your dryer work harder. Whether it increases the energy-use on a single cycle or causes you to have to run your dryer over and over again for a single load, this is not good for your wallet. Cleaning your dryer vent on a routine basis will help you control utility costs!
Signs Your Dryer Vent Is Obstructed
If you notice any of the signs below, it is likely that your dryer vent has some form of obstruction that presents a major risk of fire in your home.
- Unusual operations: Your clothes are taking longer to dry or the exterior vent doesn’t open when the dryer is on.
- Low-quality parts or installation: Your dryer vent hose is flexible or your dryer lint trap doesn’t fit perfectly and leaves gaps.
- Challenging dryer and dryer vent route: Your exterior dryer vent has lots of bends or is located far away from your dryer.
- Risky substances in your laundry: You wash a lot of fabric made from flammable materials.
Tips to Reduce Dryer Lint Build-up
Follow these methods to keep your home as safe as possible while drying your laundry:
- Invest in high-quality ductwork: Invest in metal ductwork to allow better airflow and minimize risks.
- Tidy the systems: Keep your dryer vent hose, lint screens and lint traps clean.
- Complete inspections: Have professionals inspect gas dryers regularly.
- Use the best practices: Follow the instructions provided by your machine’s manufacturer.
- Ensure proper installations: Ensure dryer ducts that are at least 4 inches in diameter and are secured with screens on the exterior to prevent animals from entering the duct.
