How professional dryer vent cleaning works
What a typical Metro Vancouver vent cleaning visit looks like.
- 01
Inspection & airflow test
We measure airflow at the exterior cap to confirm restriction and locate the blockage.
- 02
Disconnect & access
We pull the dryer, disconnect the duct, and protect the surrounding floor and wall.
- 03
Brush + vacuum from both ends
A rotating brush is fed through the duct while a HEPA vacuum captures the lint at the opposite end.
- 04
Reconnect, test, and verify
We reconnect everything, run a heat cycle, and re-measure airflow to confirm the line is clear.

- Standard residential vent cleaning is typically $149–$229, depending on access and duct length. We confirm the price upfront before starting.
