Moist air leaving the dryer coats the inside of the vent duct or pipe, and it easily collects lint and other debris.<\/p>\n There are serious problems that commonly occur:<\/p>\n According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), \u201c2,900 home clothes dryer fires are reported each year and cause an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/img><\/p>\n Several other reliable sources put the number of dryer fires closer to 15,000 annually.<\/p>\n The USFA recommends<\/strong> cleaning the filter after every load<\/span> and cleaning the dryer vent duct every year. If you have a coiled wire (accordion style) duct, you should replace it with solid, non-ribbed metal duct that is easier to clean and doesn\u2019t have nooks to trap lint.<\/p>\n This page of Business Finance News looks at costs, cost factors and whether DIY is an option. We\u2019ve collected costs from other estimate sites too.\u00a0Feel free to add your clothes dryer vent cleaning cost to the list below if you\u2019re a professional or a homeowner that has recently had the work done.<\/p>\n Cost Factors<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n A few basic factors determine your clothes dryer vent cleaning price.<\/p>\n Cost of DIY Kits<\/strong><\/p>\n There are a few types of DIY dryer vent cleaning tools. Here\u2019s a brief summary and their cost.<\/p>\n Keep in mind, it\u2019s good to have a quality indoor\/outdoor vacuum when cleaning dryer ducts as well. There can be quite a bit of messy lint, and having a powerful vacuum to keep the mess down will help considerably.<\/p>\n Cleaning Time<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This is a job one person can handle, though sometimes a helper comes too.<\/p>\n This is a home maintenance job most moderately handy homeowners can successfully complete. We recommend watching a tutorial video or two before starting. Also read the directions included with the cleaning kit, and follow them carefully.<\/p>\n Pro Tips:<\/strong> Use duct or electrical tape to secure the joints where handle pieces fit together and where the brush head attaches. This reduces the risk of the handle coming apart or the brush head falling off deep in your dryer vent duct (a hassle many homeowners report happened to them).<\/p>\n Secondly, the longer the handle, the harder the brush is to control and the more likely the handle or head will become disconnected. Therefore, if you have access to both ends of the dryer vent duct, use a shorter handle and clean the duct from both ends.<\/p>\n Thirdly, cleaning from the outside creates less mess inside. Another option is keep your shop vac running and inserted a few feet into the duct as you brush loose the lint and debris. Some kits have a duct opening cover with holes for the brush handle and vacuum.<\/p>\n There are times when calling a duct cleaning company is a better choice, for example, when a vent is fully clogged or has bird\/bee\/rodent infestation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $140 \u2013 $225 Most homeowners pay between $140 and $225 to have the dryer vent cleaned in their home.
