The craft, done properly
DRYER VENT CLEANING IN TROY, MI
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 in Troy for $249 on a standard ground-floor wall exit, up to $449 for roof exits, runs over 25 feet, multiple bends, or heavy buildup.
The result gets proven, not promised: airflow is measured at the cap before and after, so you see the restriction removed in numbers. That matters more here than most places — Michigan winters mean months of indoor drying with the vent under snow-loaded eaves, and Troy's older homes often have long, bent duct runs that were never designed for modern dryer volumes. The full method is on our dryer vent service page; pricing is on the vent cleaning calculator.

The Work
What a vent cleaning does for a Troy home.
A dryer doesn't dry clothes — airflow does. As lint narrows the duct, cycles stretch, the machine runs hotter, the thermal fuse trips, and the utility bill climbs quietly all winter. Most "broken dryer" calls we hear about in Troy 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 older homes. The exterior cap gets cleared and checked, because a crushed or screen-blocked cap chokes airflow as badly as lint does. Then the after-test. Many Troy clients pair it with their annual chimney cleaning — one visit, both flues in the house cleared and documented.
Our Troy crew also covers Birmingham and Novi, along with the rest of Oakland County. See everything we handle locally on the Troy services 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. After a Michigan winter of indoor drying, most households hit two or three of these.
Booking a chimney sweep anyway? The two pair naturally — one Troy visit, both systems cleared, one written report covering both.
What to expect
What happens during a dryer vent cleaning?
A standard Troy visit runs about 30–45 minutes, including 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.

First my husband and I was struggling to find a good company to help us convert our fireplace into a gas one. We contacted brown chimney and they sent Eddie who was amazing, and professional.

FAQs
Common questions about dryer vent cleaning
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Troy?
Brown Chimney charges $249 for a standard ground-floor wall exit in Troy, up to $449 for roof exits, runs over 25 feet, multiple bends, or heavy buildup. Every cleaning includes a before-and-after airflow test.
How often should a Troy dryer vent be cleaned?
Once a year for most households — sooner with heavy laundry volume, long duct runs, or pets. Michigan winters mean months of continuous indoor drying, which packs lint faster than a summer schedule does.
Can you clean a roof-exit vent in Troy?
Yes. Roof exits and long runs are common in older Troy homes and priced up to $449 depending on length, bends, and buildup. The technician confirms the figure before starting.
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's one of the most preventable risks in a home, which is why the fix is a routine $249 visit.
How soon can you come out in Troy?
Most Troy vent cleanings are scheduled within the same week — our crew works out of 801 W Big Beaver Rd and covers Oakland County, plus Birmingham and Rochester Hills.
