In Matthews, an established suburb southeast of Charlotte, Duct Cleaners Charlotte handles dryer vent cleaning with HEPA-filtered equipment and a clear, written price before any work starts.
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 AC in Matthews?
Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement lists the addition, replacement or change in the design of a heating or air conditioning system as work that needs a permit, even on residential jobs of $40,000 or less. Its office number is 980-314-2633.
Many Matthews homes are from the 1980s and 1990s. Should the ducts be cleaned?
The median Matthews home was built in 1994 (ACS 2020-2024). The U.S. EPA does not recommend routine cleaning and suggests it only as needed, for example for visible mold, rodents or insects, or dust visibly released from registers.
