Dryer vent cleaning protects your home
Lint that builds up in your dryer vent is one of the leading causes of house fires. It also traps heat and moisture, so your dryer runs longer, wears out faster and drives up your power bill. We clear the full vent line from the dryer to the exterior, so your clothes dry faster and your home is safer.
Signs your dryer vent needs cleaning
- Clothes take more than one cycle to dry.
- The dryer or laundry room feels hot and humid during a cycle.
- A burning smell or a musty odor on your clothes.
- It has been over a year, or you have never had it done.

Common questions
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
At least once a year for most homes, and more often for large households or long vent runs. Regular cleaning is the single best way to prevent a dryer fire and keep your dryer running efficiently.
Why do my clothes take so long to dry?
Almost always a clogged dryer vent. When lint blocks the vent, hot moist air cannot escape, so clothes stay damp and the dryer runs cycle after cycle. Clearing the vent usually fixes it in one visit.
Do you clean the whole vent line?
Yes. We clean the full run from the back of the dryer through the wall and duct to the exterior vent hood, and we confirm strong airflow at the outside when we are done.
Do I need a permit to replace my furnace or air conditioner in Gastonia?
Yes. North Carolina's small-project permit exemption (G.S. 160D-1110) does not cover replacing heating or air-conditioning equipment. Since August 2022, Gaston County Building Inspections (704-866-3155) issues construction permits for Gastonia addresses, and it has a specific Residential HVAC Changeout application.
How old are homes in Gastonia?
Older than in most nearby towns. ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates put the median year built at 1978, with about 52 percent of homes built before 1980 and about 26 percent before 1960. Historic areas include the Loray Mill mill-house blocks and the York-Chester Historic District.
