Seven questions, about 40 seconds. Built from what our technicians actually find in Brooklyn and College Hill, Guelph homes.
Any duct run beyond the manufacturer's maximum equivalent length needs an inline booster fan — and the boosters installed on GTA townhouses and condos in Brooklyn and College Hill, Guelph in the 2000s are almost all overdue for service. When one fails, the dryer keeps running and nobody notices until drying times double.
Do you need one?
Add roughly five feet of equivalent length per 90-degree elbow. If the total exceeds the appliance's rated maximum — commonly 35 feet in Brooklyn and College Hill, Guelph — a booster is required for the dryer to vent properly.
Service, not just cleaning
We clean the impeller, verify the pressure switch actually triggers, check the wiring and interlock, and measure airflow at the termination before and after.
Replacement and sizing
Where a booster is beyond service, we size the replacement to the duct's static pressure rather than fitting whatever is in the van, and document the model and settings.

How the visit works in Brooklyn and College Hill, Guelph
- 1
Airflow test before we start
We measure real exhaust airflow at the exterior hood so you see the honest 'before' number for your home in Brooklyn and College Hill, Guelph.
- 2
Camera scan of the duct
A push camera runs the elbows, transitions, and termination so the blockage is located, not guessed at.
- 3
Rotary brush and HEPA vacuum
A counter-rotating brush breaks the lint mat loose while a negative-pressure HEPA vacuum captures it. Nothing blows back into the laundry room.
- 4
Termination and damper service
Exterior hood cleared, damper flap freed, and bird nests or lint-catching screens removed.
- 5
Transition and connection check
Crushed foil behind the dryer is straightened or replaced with rigid or semi-rigid metal and properly clamped.

After test and photo report
We re-measure airflow and email before/after numbers with photos, so the improvement is documented rather than promised.

Dryer Vent Cleaning FAQs — Brooklyn and College Hill, Guelph
How do I know if I have a booster fan?
Look for an inline metal housing in the duct run, usually in a basement ceiling or laundry-closet soffit. We locate it during the camera scan in Brooklyn and College Hill, Guelph.
How long do they last?
Eight to twelve years with annual cleaning, and far less without it.
Can I just remove a failed booster?
Only if the run is short enough without it. On most runs in Brooklyn and College Hill, Guelph that need one, removal means the dryer never vents properly.
Is the electrical work included?
Yes, for a like-for-like replacement on an existing circuit. New circuits are quoted separately.
Will a booster fix a blocked duct?
No. Clear the duct first — a booster pushing against lint is just louder, not better.
Do you service condo booster systems?
Yes, including shared-shaft installations and building-wide programmes in Brooklyn and College Hill, Guelph.
