Seven questions, about 40 seconds. Built from what our technicians actually find in Clyde/Cooper, Cambridge homes.
Cleaning only helps if the duct is intact. We replace crushed foil with rigid or semi-rigid metal, reseal joints that came apart inside a joist bay, re-route runs that were never compliant, and replace exterior hoods that no longer close in Clyde/Cooper, Cambridge.
Common failures we replace
Torn or collapsed flex behind the appliance, ducts terminating into an attic or soffit, screw penetrations catching lint, unsealed joints leaking into framing, and broken hood dampers.
Rigid metal, foil-taped joints
Concealed runs get smooth rigid metal with foil-taped joints and no interior fasteners. That is both the code requirement in Clyde/Cooper, Cambridge and the reason the duct stays clear longer.
Re-routing that actually works
Too many elbows or an uphill run guarantees repeat blockages. Where the route is the problem, we redesign it rather than cleaning the same failure every year.

How the visit works in Clyde/Cooper, 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 Clyde/Cooper, 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.

Dryer Vent Cleaning FAQs — Clyde/Cooper, Cambridge
Can you repair without opening walls?
In most homes in Clyde/Cooper, Cambridge, yes — we work from the appliance side and the exterior termination, and tell you upfront if access is unavoidable.
How do I know the duct is leaking?
Humidity or a warm-lint smell in the laundry room while the dryer runs, or lint dust on nearby surfaces.
Is foil flex duct allowed at all?
Only as a short, exposed transition behind the appliance — never inside a wall, floor, or ceiling.
Do you handle townhouse and condo runs?
Yes, including shared shafts, booster fans, and the documentation building management asks for.
How long does a repair take?
Transitions and hoods take an hour or two. Re-routes are usually a half or full day.
