When was the last time you had a dryer vent cleaning? Maybe it was a while ago. Or maybe you’ve never cleaned your dryer vent. That’s okay — it’s something most people neglect. But it’s also vitally important and potentially lifesaving.
A U.S. Fire Administration report estimates 2,900 clothes dryer fires per year in the United States. These fires result in a handful of deaths, dozens of injuries, and millions of dollars in property damage. The most common cause? Lint buildup in the dryer vent.
So, how do you keep your vent clean? You have two options:
- You can use a DIY dryer vent cleaning kit
- You can hire a professional dryer vent service
At HY-C, we manufacture our own DIY dryer vent cleaning kit called LintEater. But we know not everyone is DIY-inclined. Some people prefer simply to leave the job to the pros. And if that describes you, you’re in the right place.
This guide is going to cover some of the top dryer vent cleaners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We’ll cover these companies’ ratings, their prices (if they’re available), any other services each company might offer, and more.
By the time you’re finished here, you’ll have all the information you need to choose the right professional dryer cleaning service if you live in the DFW area.
Note that the companies here are listed in no particular order.
Guardian Home Services Dryer Vent Cleaning
- Ratings: 5 / 5 stars (365 reviews)
- Website: https://www.guardianhomeservices.us/
- Email: jamie@guardianhomeservices.us
- Phone: 972-703-5927
Guardian Home Services has been around since 1945, and they’ve cultivated some good relationships during that time. The company says that their business model “relies heavily on the loyalty and relationships built from years of repeat service,” and that referrals are what drives most of their new business.
The company doesn’t list pricing online for their dryer vent cleaning services. They say that instead, they use “an adaptable pricing model to work around your system and your needs.” They do, however, list the scope of what their dryer vent cleaning services entail:
- They locate the dryer, its vent, and the vent’s exterior termination point
- They record the initial condition of your dryer and vent with pictures
- They unplug the dryer and turn off the gas line (if your dryer has one)
- They place tarps on your floor to minimize any potential mess
- They place a special rug beneath your dryer to protect your floor
- They then remove lint and debris from your dryer vent system
After service is complete, they check the vent for contaminants. They then reinstall any parts they may have removed from your dryer, they reconnect the vent hose, and they turn on your dryer to make sure it’s functioning properly.
Guardian even follows up within two weeks of service to make sure your dryer is running smoothly.
