Professional dryer vent cleaning from $89. Lint blockage removed, airflow measured before and after, full duct inspected for kinks, damage, and improper materials. Same-day service available.
The NFPA reports that clothes dryers account for approximately 15,970 structure fires annually in the United States. Failure to clean the dryer vent is the leading cause — responsible for 34% of dryer fires. In Los Angeles, where apartment buildings and tract homes from the 1950s–70s often have non-code-compliant duct materials (flexible foil ducts instead of rigid metal) and unusually long vent runs through walls and ceilings, the risk is compounded.
Dans Hollywood Chimney & Air Duct Cleaning provides NFPA 211-standard dryer vent cleaning throughout the San Fernando Valley. We do not simply brush lint from the accessible end of the duct. We inspect the full duct run from the dryer connection through the exterior exhaust hood, measure airflow before and after cleaning, check for non-code materials and kinks, and verify the exterior damper opens fully under exhaust pressure.
Why Choose Dan's
We inspect the complete duct run from dryer connection to exterior exhaust hood. Kinks, crushed sections, non-code flexible foil duct, and improper connections are documented and reported.
We measure exhaust airflow velocity at the exterior duct opening before and after cleaning. Most blocked vents measure below 300 FPM; a clear duct should produce 800–1,200+ FPM. We give you the numbers.
We use professional rotary brush systems — not a leaf blower or shop vacuum — to dislodge compacted lint from the full length of the duct wall, including long horizontal runs.
Flexible foil or plastic accordion-style dryer duct — still found in most pre-1990s Valley homes — is prohibited by the California Mechanical Code. We identify these materials and explain the required replacement.
Serving all San Fernando Valley cities with same-day appointments most days. If your dryer is taking two or more cycles to dry a load, same-day service is the right move — that's a fully blocked vent.
Dryer vent cleaning bundled with air duct cleaning saves scheduling time and cost. Same visit, same technician, from $299 for up to 10 air vents plus the dryer vent.
Our Process
We disconnect the dryer from the duct connection at the back of the appliance. The full duct run is accessible without moving the dryer from the wall in most cases.
We inspect the exterior exhaust damper for proper operation, debris blockage, and bird or rodent nests — a common cause of complete vent blockage.
Exhaust airflow velocity is measured at the exterior opening using an anemometer. This establishes a documented baseline before cleaning begins.
A professional rotary brush system is driven through the full duct length in both directions, dislodging compacted lint from the entire duct interior wall.
A collection bag at the dryer connection captures all dislodged lint. All debris is bagged and removed from the property.
Final airflow is measured and compared to baseline. Results are documented in a written completion report including duct condition notes and any code-compliance findings.
