Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Surrey
Laundry Dryer Vent Cleaning
When lint builds up in a dryer duct and its vent, air flowing through the dryer duct is restricted.
Overheated dryer coils can release flammable toxins that may spark a fire and in minutes the overheated dryer can turn into an inferno.
Our technicians in Surrey are skilled duct cleaners, trained and fully certified to remove all lint, dust and buildup from your dryer vents to ensure the appliance runs to its maximum efficiency without the worry of a disaster happening.
Regular dryer vent maintenance on residential or commercial machines can reduce your monthly energy costs, increase the lifespan of your dryer and minimize wear-and-tear on your laundry due to unnecessary increased runtime.

Signs Your Dryer Vents Are Blocked
In order to keep your dryer working smoothly, there are some common signs you can keep an eye on before your appliance breaks or worse, a dryer fire happens. These signs include:
- Laundry takes very long to dry
- The same load needs to be run twice
- The top of the dryer is very hot to the touch after each use
- A moldy odor coming from the drum or garments
- The dryer shows an error or blockage code
- It has been over a year since your last dryer vent cleaning
Reasons for Needing Your Dryer Vents Cleaned In Surrey
Taking the time to empty your dryer’s lint trap should be done after each use to maximize the exhaust of hot air from the machine. However, this daily routine isn’t sufficient for keeping your dryer vents free of buildup. There is always a small amount of lint and other debris that makes its way past the screen, collecting and eventually clogging the dryer vent.
Fire Prevention & Safety
Vent Kings understands the importance of safety in your Surrey home or business. Our experienced technicians use powerful HEPA vacuums to clean out the supply, intake, and return ducts of your dryer, from both the interior and exterior of your property, leaving the vents completely free of any buildup.
This will prevent your dryer’s motor from overheating and avoid a fire hazard from happening.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process
Routine Dryer Vent Maintenance
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), you should have your dryer vent cleaned at least once a year. But depending on your unique circumstances, it may need to be done as frequently as every few months to optimize your dryer’s efficiency and avoid a serious fire hazard. A little routine maintenance can help prevent your dryer from working too hard or making a mess in the first place.
Prevention is Key
Clogged dryer vents can cause many problems including potential fire hazards, carbon monoxide buildup, damage to clothing, excessive energy use, and mold growth. The best way to prevent these issues is by having a professional dryer vent cleaning. Our dryer vent cleaning removes lint, debris, and blockages to ensure proper airflow. Vent Kings will give you peace of mind by minimizing the risk of having a dryer fire.
Saving Time & Money
Our professional dryer vent cleaning services provide many benefits in addition to fire prevention – reduced energy consumption and better dryer performance. When the dryer’s airflow is restricted by lint buildup, the dryer operates inefficiently, which means it has to work harder, clothes take longer to dry, and it consumes more energy to get the job done. These factors result in higher energy costs, repairs, and eventual replacement. Regular dryer vent maintenance will improve your dryer’s efficiency with faster dry cycles and lower electricity use, saving you both time and money.
Dryer fires are a real hazard that can happen at a moment's notice. Book now to have your dryer vents cleaned in Surrey.

Any property that houses a clothes dryer, or a multitude of dyers, is a risk for fire due to clogged dryer vents. This includes apartment complexes and buildings. Vent Kings provides dryer cleaning services for multi-unit facilities in Surrey with little to no interruption to your tenants.
Our technicians use professional HEPA equipment to safely and professionally clean each and every unit in your building or common space laundry room.
Commercial Properties in Surrey
Dryers, especially those that are used frequently for commercial use, can collect excess lint and debris in their vents. This excess lint is the most common source of ignition for dryer fires. In addition to the risk of fire, excess lint and debris can lead to blockages and decreased efficiency, as well as additional energy use. Vent Kings provides professional commercial dryer vent cleaning services to a wide variety of businesses with industrial dryers such as:
- Salons & Spas

FAQS About Surrey Dryer Vent Cleaning
What causes lint buildup?
When fabric fibres shed from the clothes we dry, this can cause a considerable buildup of lint in your appliance. Often, wool and cotton are the most likely culprits when it comes to the production of lint. Increased lint buildup comes with the increased risk for fire hazards and for your dryer to not work at its optimal level, making your dryer work harder and longer to dry a load of laundry. An accumulation of excess lint around or behind your dryer can be the result of a clogged dryer vent.
How often do dryer vents need cleaning in Surrey?
The more efficiently a dryer vent exhausts air, the less lint buildup in it. For obvious reasons , newer dryers may exhaust better than older ones. Vents with multiple turns and elbows are likely to build up more lint. Very short vents attached to full size dryers may rarely need cleaning. Most vents, however, require annual cleaning.
Can I clean the dryer vents myself?
You can. In fact, it’s a good idea to clean your dryer vents regularly. This will keep any buildups to a minimum. However, without the specialized tools and training professional vent cleaners have, it will be impossible for you to clean all the debris and clogs out from the vents completely.
While you can do a good job cleaning your dryer vents on your own from time to time, when it comes to a major cleaning, you should always hire a professional.
