Free dryer vent fire-risk score
Seven questions, about 40 seconds. Built from what our technicians actually find in Cambridge homes.
A hot-lint smell, a dryer that shuts off mid-cycle, or a scorched thermal fuse means the duct is blocked right now. Stop using the appliance and call. We dispatch the same day in Cambridge, clear the duct, and verify airflow before the dryer goes back into service.
Signs that mean stop using it now
Burning smell during a cycle, the top of the dryer too hot to touch, clothes hot but damp at cycle end, or the machine cutting out and restarting. Any of these in Cambridge means unplug it and call.
What we do on an emergency call
Camera the duct, locate the blockage, clear it mechanically with HEPA capture, inspect the transition and hood, then run an airflow test before declaring it safe.
If there has been a fire
Do not run the appliance. We inspect the full duct for heat damage and melted transitions, document it for your insurer, and replace anything compromised.

How the visit works in Cambridge
- 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 Cambridge.
- 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.
- 6
After test and photo report
We re-measure airflow and email before/after numbers with photos, so the improvement is documented rather than promised.
What Cambridge customers say
4.9 out of 5 from 743 reviews across the GTA. A selection relevant to this service below.
The duct behind the dryer was pinched flat. They replaced it with rigid metal and the burning smell is completely gone.
Quoted the roof access upfront, no surprise charges, and cleaned a run two other companies had refused.
Thirty-foot townhouse run with a booster nobody had ever serviced. Cleaned and tested, and drying is back to normal.
HEPA vacuum meant nothing escaped into the laundry room. They even wiped down the machine afterwards.
Dryer Vent Cleaning FAQs — Cambridge
How fast can you arrive in Cambridge?
Same day for emergency vent calls in Cambridge, with the earliest slot going to burning-smell and overheating reports.
Should I keep using the dryer until you arrive?
No. Unplug it. A blocked duct plus a running heating element is exactly how lint ignites.
My dryer keeps blowing its thermal fuse. Is that the vent?
Almost always. The fuse is doing its job because heat cannot escape. Replacing it without clearing the duct just repeats the failure.
Will you document it for insurance?
Yes — photos, airflow readings, and a written technician report.
Do you replace damaged ducting on the spot?
Standard transitions and hoods are on the truck. Full re-routes are quoted and usually scheduled within days.
Is there an after-hours fee?
After-hours dispatch is quoted for approval before we roll.
