The craft, done properly
DRYER VENT CLEANING IN SOUTHLAKE, TX
Dryer vent cleaning removes the lint packing the duct between your dryer and the outside. Lint is highly flammable, a restricted vent traps the heat that ignites it, and clogged dryer vents cause thousands of U.S. house fires every year. Brown Chimney cleans the full run for $249 on a standard ground-floor wall exit, up to $449 for roof exits, runs over 25 feet, multiple bends, or heavy buildup.
Southlake's housing stock pushes most jobs toward the upper end. Large custom homes frequently put the laundry room well inside the floorplan, which means a duct run of thirty or forty feet with several bends before it reaches an exterior wall or the roof. Long runs collect lint faster and hide it better. The result gets proven, not promised: airflow is measured before and after. Full method on our dryer vent service page.

The Work
What a vent cleaning does for a Southlake home.
A dryer does not dry clothes — airflow does. As lint narrows the duct, cycles stretch, the machine runs hotter, the thermal fuse trips, and the utility bill climbs. Most "broken dryer" calls we hear in Southlake turn out to be blocked vents, not failed appliances.
We work the entire run with rotary brushes from both ends, vacuum-extracting what breaks loose — including the middle bends where clogs hide in a long interior run. The exterior cap gets cleared and checked, because a sun-brittle or bird-blocked hood chokes airflow as badly as lint. Then the after-test. Many Southlake clients pair it with their annual chimney cleaning — one visit, both systems cleared and documented.
Our Dallas crew covers the southern metroplex, and together we handle the full Texas service area. See the local service list on the Southlake page.
When to book
What are the signs your dryer vent needs cleaning?
A restricted vent tells on itself — through the dryer, the laundry room, and the utility bill. Long interior runs, common in Southlake homes, reach that point sooner.
01
Clothes take more than one cycle to dry
02
The dryer or the laundry room feels unusually hot
03
A burning smell during dry cycles
04
Visible lint around the exterior vent hood — or no air exiting at all
05
The laundry room sits well inside the house with a long duct run
06
It's been more than 12 months since the vent was cleaned
Booking a chimney sweep anyway? The two pair naturally — one Southlake visit, both systems cleared, one written report covering both.

A chimney isn't clean because it looks clean. It's clean when the flue shows bare masonry — and we photograph it to prove it.

Crews who know these homes
Southlake is largely 1990s and 2000s construction — factory-built fireboxes, chase covers, stone veneer. Different work from older masonry, and we do both.

Every job ends with a PDF. Great for insurance, great for selling the home, great for peace of mind.
What to expect
What happens during a dryer vent cleaning?
A standard Southlake visit runs 30–45 minutes; long interior runs take longer. Either way you get the airflow numbers that prove the vent is actually open.
01
Airflow test — before
The run is measured at the exterior cap before anything is touched. This number is your baseline — and your proof at the end.

02
Disconnect & access
The dryer is pulled, the transition hose disconnected, and both ends of the duct opened for full-run access.
03
Rotary brush cleaning
Brushes sized to the duct work the entire run from both directions, with vacuum extraction capturing lint as it breaks loose — including the bends where clogs hide.
04
Cap inspection & clearing
The exterior cap is cleared and checked — a crushed or screen-blocked cap chokes airflow as badly as lint does.
05
Reconnect & airflow test — after
The vent is properly reconnected and the airflow measured again. Before-and-after numbers go in your report: the restriction is gone, and you can see it.
For transparency

FAQS
Common questions about dryer vent cleaning in Southlake
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Southlake?
$249 for a standard ground-floor wall exit. Roof exits, runs over 25 feet, multiple bends, or heavy buildup run up to $449 — always confirmed before work begins. Every cleaning includes a before-and-after airflow test.
Why do Southlake homes need this more often?
Floorplan. Large custom homes put the laundry room deep inside the house, producing duct runs of thirty or forty feet with several bends. Long runs collect lint faster, hide it better, and restrict airflow sooner than a short wall exit.
Can a clogged dryer vent really cause a fire?
Yes. Lint is highly flammable and a blocked vent traps the heat that ignites it — clogged dryer vents cause thousands of U.S. house fires annually. It is one of the most preventable risks in a home.
How often should the vent be cleaned?
Once a year for most households, sooner with heavy laundry volume, long runs, or pets. In a warm climate where dryers run year-round, annual is the floor rather than the ceiling.
Do you clean dryer vents outside Southlake?
Yes. From this office we cover north DFW, and our Dallas crew handles the southern metroplex — together serving the full Texas service area.
