Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost Factors

Commercial vs. Residential Machines

Generally speaking, commercial dryer vent cleaning is going to be more expensive than residential dryer vent cleaning simply based on the sheer size of the machine. The ducts in the in commercial dryers are bigger and more extensive than the simple ducts that are typically in residential machines.

How Often You Get It Cleaned

The longer that goes by in-between cleanings, the more expensive it is to clean. Our dryer vent cleaners in Chicago recommend that you receive a cleaning 1-2 times per year depending on how often you use your dryer. The more often you receive a cleaning, the smaller the chance that you develop a clogged vent. The money put towards the cleaning will give you peace of mind that your home or place of business has less of a risk of developing a fire due to a clogged dryer duct.

Mildew or Mold Removal

If mildew or mold has developed anywhere in your dryer vent, the cost of cleaning will likely reflect it. This will likely be an additional cost on top of the standard dryer vent cleaning process. It will take our professionals more time, energy and special equipment to properly remove these elements, but it is well worth it in the long run. If you do not address this problem as it occurs, it can cause even more expensive repairs down the road.

Ducts that Have a Custom Design

The majority of dryer vents have a standard design with which our professionals are familiar. This makes it easy for us to give you a quote. However, if you have a system that has a custom design or has additional components involved, added time will be necessary in order to complete the cleaning.
