Dryer Vent Repair

Dryer ducts fail in a handful of predictable ways: crushed flex behind the machine, a joint that pulled apart inside a wall or ceiling, foil or vinyl duct that should never have been installed, or screws driven through the duct that catch lint like a comb. We open it up, replace the bad section with smooth-wall rigid metal, join it with foil tape and no interior screws, support long runs so they cannot sag, and re-test airflow at the termination afterward. What drives the cost is how much of the run is concealed — a repair behind drywall or above a ceiling takes access and patching. We usually find these during a cleaning and can fix them on the same trip.

What is it

What is dryer vent repair?

Dryer ducts fail in a handful of predictable ways: crushed flex behind the machine, a joint that pulled apart inside a wall or ceiling, foil or vinyl duct that should never have been installed, or screws driven through the duct that catch lint like a comb. We open it up, replace the bad section with smooth-wall rigid metal, join it with foil tape and no interior screws, support long runs so they cannot sag, and re-test airflow at the termination afterward. What drives the cost is how much of the run is concealed — a repair behind drywall or above a ceiling takes access and patching. We usually find these during a cleaning and can fix them on the same trip.

Every dryer vent repair includes:

  • Failed section replaced with smooth-wall rigid metal duct
  • Foil-taped joints with no screws penetrating the interior
  • Long runs supported so they cannot sag and trap lint
  • Foil and vinyl duct removed wherever we find it
  • Airflow re-tested at the termination before we leave

Scoped from a graded inspection

With our crew, a dryer vent repair is never guesswork. We scope every job from a graded, photographed inspection first — the NFPA 211 level the evidence calls for — so the work is matched to what your flue and masonry actually need, with the report to prove it. The documented inspection is the record the dryer vent repair is built on.

FAQ

Common questions about dryer vent repair.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

The NFPA recommends a Level 1 inspection every year, with a sweep once buildup reaches 1/8" of creosote — for a wood fireplace you actually use, that's about once a heating season. The neighborly part: since we're already on the roof, the same crew checks your dryer vent and caps the visit with a quick whole-home safety look, so one appointment covers what would otherwise be three.

Are your technicians certified?

Yes — our inspectors hold current CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certifications, verifiable in the CSIA member directory at csia.org, and we have NFI specialists for fireplace work. The same trained crew handles your chimney, fireplace, dryer-vent and air-duct needs, so you're not juggling four different contractors for one house.

Do you offer emergency service?

Yes — 24/7 response (subject to crew availability) for active leaks, an animal trapped in the flue, post-fire damage, and storm damage, same-day in most cases. One call reaches one crew that can handle whatever the situation turns out to need, instead of bouncing you between specialists while the water's still coming in.

Do you provide written quotes before work begins?

Always — a written quote before we lift a tool, with photos of what we found, so you see exactly what you're approving. If the same visit turns up something in the dryer vent or ducts, it goes on one itemized quote and one invoice rather than a string of separate trips.

What's the Whole-Home Care Plan membership?

The Whole-Home Care Plan is our annual maintenance plan at $19.99/month ($240/year): a Level 1 inspection and sweep ($248 value), priority scheduling, 10% off all repairs, and emergency-response priority. Because one crew covers chimney, fireplace, dryer-vent and ducts, the plan keeps the whole house on a single schedule instead of a calendar full of separate service calls. Cancel anytime, no contract.
