Dryer Vent Cleaning

Clear lint, restore airflow, and cut fire alarms in high-rise condos. We clean in-suite dryer vents and shared exhaust runs, with before/after photos so residents and property managers know the job was done.

We protect finishes, manage access, and publish visit reports through the Hudson portal—no guessing if the riser is clear.

Condo-specific dryer vent cleaning

Toronto condos often have long runs with multiple elbows, tight laundry closets, and shared risers. We use lint-safe tools and protect finishes while clearing runs from the suite side and coordinating riser or rooftop access when needed.

  • Residents: Faster drying, less humidity, and proof of clean vents.
  • Property managers: Program tracking, fire safety alignment, and nuisance alarm reduction.
  • Boards: Summaries, recurring blockage notes, and recommendations for riser balancing.

What we check

  • Flex connections, kinks, and crushed ducts
  • Lint buildup in long runs and elbows
  • Backdraft dampers and exterior/roof terminations
  • Airflow after cleaning to confirm improvement
  • Visible moisture stains or thermal anomalies

Pricing factors (no surprises)

  • Length of vent run and number of elbows
  • Condition of flex duct and accessibility behind the dryer
  • Level of lint accumulation and need for roof/termination access
  • Bundled suites or building-wide scheduling for managers
  • Optional add-ons like interior dryer cleaning and kitchen exhaust

FAQs

Most Toronto condos benefit from annual dryer vent cleaning. High-use suites, rentals, Airbnbs, and buildings with long vent runs or older exhaust systems should clean yearly. Lower-use suites (singles, couples) can stretch to every two years if no warning signs appear.

Common signs include: clothes taking multiple cycles to dry, the dryer feeling excessively hot, burning or musty smells near the laundry area, visible lint on walls or behind the dryer, and humidity or condensation around the laundry closet.

Yes. Lint is highly flammable, and clogged vents trap heat. In high-rise condos, blocked vents can trigger nuisance fire alarms, cause smoke damage, and in worst cases, lead to actual fires. Regular cleaning is a key fire prevention measure.

Yes. Where access permits, we coordinate with base-building teams to clear shared exhaust risers and roof or exterior terminations. This ensures balanced airflow across all connected suites.

Absolutely. We run stack-by-stack schedules, send resident notices, manage access, and provide post-program summaries with completion rates, deficiencies, and recommendations for property managers and boards.

Interior dryer cleaning covers vacuuming and wiping the dryer cabinet, lint trap housing, drum area, and reachable blower components. This removes lint that builds up inside the appliance itself, reducing heat and odours.

Yes. We offer kitchen exhaust cleaning as an add-on, including range hood filter swaps and duct cleaning where accessible. Bundling reduces disruption and often lowers per-service cost.

Yes. Every visit includes before/after photos, lint volume notes, and airflow verification results uploaded to the Hudson portal for residents and property managers.

It varies by condo declaration. Generally, the in-suite duct and flex connection are the owner's responsibility, while common risers and roof terminations are maintained by the corporation. Check your building's rules or ask your property manager.

Yes. We offer after-hours and weekend scheduling for building-wide programs or individual suites. Let us know your building's quiet hours and access requirements.

Yes. Clearing lint blockages restores proper airflow, which typically cuts drying time significantly—often back to a single cycle instead of two or three.

Yes. We cover Toronto core and the broader GTA, including Mississauga, Etobicoke, North York, and Scarborough for both individual calls and building-wide programs.
