Dryer Fire Safety
Protect your home from a dryer fire
Lint builds up deep in the vent line, out of sight — and it’s highly flammable. Failure to clean is the leading cause of home dryer fires. That’s why fire-safety authorities recommend having your dryer’s full venting system professionally inspected and cleaned at least once a year: it clears the buildup, restores airflow, and lowers your fire risk long before a warning sign ever appears.
Read the full guide: 7 reasons to clean your dryer vent
Family-owned, licensed & insured — protecting Brooklyn & Deal, NJ homes for 10+ years.
- ~14,000
- home dryer fires reported to U.S. fire departments each year
- #1 cause
- of home dryer fires is a vent that isn't cleaned
- Once a year
- professional cleaning that fire-safety authorities recommend
Figures reflect multi-year national estimates for residential clothes-dryer fires from the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
Why it matters
“The danger you can’t see is already building up.”
The U.S. Fire Administration logs nearly 15,000 dryer fires every year — and almost a third trace back to a single, preventable cause: lint buildup. Cleaning your vent isn't maintenance. It's insurance.
What we pull out
The kind of buildup most dryers never advertise.
- Prevent fire hazards
- Lint is the #1 cause of dryer fires in the U.S. Removing it is the single highest-leverage thing you can do for home safety.
- Cut your energy bill
- A clogged vent forces your dryer to work harder. Customers report 20–35% lower drying costs after a single cleaning.
- Faster drying cycles
- Stop running the same load twice. Most dryers go from 90-minute cycles back to 45 after a deep vent cleaning.
- Add years to your dryer
- Heat trapped in a clogged system burns out heating elements and motors. Annual cleaning is the cheapest extended warranty there is.
How we work
One visit. Four steps. A dryer that runs like new.
Most jobs take under an hour. No mess, no disruption, no surprises on the invoice. Repairs, replacement parts, sanitizing treatments, vent covers, and hoses are quoted separately and added only with your approval.
Every visit includes
- HEPA-filtered vacuum extraction
- Rotary brush full vent run
- Outside vent cap clearing
- Hose & connection check
- Before/after airflow report
- Service guarantee in writing
- 01
Inspection & airflow test
We measure your current dryer airflow and inspect the full vent run from drum to roof or wall cap. You see the baseline before we touch anything.
- 02
Deep mechanical clean
A high-RPM rotary brush travels the full length of the duct, breaking up compacted lint while a HEPA vacuum captures every particle at the source.
- 03
Connection check & re-seal
We re-seat the transition hose, seal the vent connection, and check the exterior cover. If anything needs repair, replacement, or an add-on treatment, we quote it first — nothing extra happens without your approval.
- 04
Verification report
A second airflow reading proves the work. You leave with a written report — and most customers see drying times cut by a third on their next load.
Ready when you are.

Real photos, real jobs
This is what we pull out of a dryer vent.
No stock photos. Every one of these is from an actual dryer-vent cleaning in a Brooklyn or NYC home — the packed lint, the buildup behind the machine, the odd bird’s nest, and the piles we pulled out to the curb.

Before we leave
We date-stamp every vent we clean.
Before we pack up, a dated tag goes right on your exterior vent — the day we cleaned it, our number, and a reminder to clear the lint trap every cycle. You’ll never have to wonder when it was last done.
- The date, in writingNo guessing, no digging through receipts. You, a tenant, or whoever owns the place next can walk outside and see exactly when it was last serviced.
- Our number, right on itIf the dryer starts running long before your next cleaning is due, you don't have to go looking for us.
- A nudge that actually helpsClear the lint trap every cycle. It's the single best thing you can do for your dryer between visits — so we put it where you'll see it.
Why clean it at all?
Eight honest reasons.
No scare statistics, no fine print — just what a blocked dryer vent actually does, every single day it stays blocked.
Lint is fuel.
Every load leaves a little more of the most flammable material in your house packed around a hot machine.
One cycle should be enough.
When towels need a second run, it's almost never the dryer — it's the blocked vent behind it.
A clogged vent runs your meter.
Longer cycles, hotter machine, higher electric bill — on every single load.
Overheating kills dryers young.
Clear airflow is the cheapest life extension a machine can get.
Gas dryers exhaust more than lint.
A blocked line can push combustion fumes — including carbon monoxide — back into your home.
Damp air belongs outside.
A blocked vent pushes warm, wet air into the wall instead — exactly the conditions mold loves.
Your clothes pay for it too.
Extra cycles at higher heat wear out fabric and elastic — lint is your wardrobe, leaving one load at a time.
Birds think your vent is a birdhouse.
A warm, lint-lined pipe is prime Brooklyn real estate — until the nest blocks it completely.
Twenty minutes. Once a year. That’s the whole ask.
Long vent runs
Dryer taking two cycles? The run may be longer than the dryer can push.
A dryer’s own blower is built for a short hop to an outside wall. Roof runs and brownstone wall runs are longer than that — so the air slows, clothes come out damp, and lint settles in the line. We install a booster fan made for dryer exhaust that senses the dryer starting and pulls the exhaust the rest of the way. Fan included, one flat installed price.
- Clothes need a second cycle to dry
- The duct runs to the roof, or across the building
- Barely any air at the outside vent while it runs
$299.99Fan + installation, one visit

I knew something was up when my clothing was taking forever to dry but when the check vent light went on I knew it was a fire hazard. Eyal responded to my text in minutes, booked an appointment on the spot for the next day and showed up on time. He didn't mind that I was standing over to watch the whole process and boy was it satisfying. I couldn't believe the lint that was living in the dryer, behind the wall and at the exit vent on the side of my house. This is not the DIY job you think it is. well worth the visit!

ABOVE & BEYOND!!! Vent Pro is the only way to go when it comes to cleaning your dryer vent. The service of these top shelf professional with Eli at the helm took care and gave so much support and I would highly recommend them. You will never regret making them you choice.
Patricia C.Google · Local GuideEli from Ventpro was not only knowledgeable but also extremely kind. As a woman at home with a small child I felt super safe with Eli which is always a concern with people coming to service the home. He did the job, cleaned up afterwards and also left me with some great tips for our washer even though he came to fix the dryer. Will have him come back again and again.
Chinae A.Verified Google reviewAmazing service and very friendly serviceman. Very fair price compared to other companies, he went above and beyond removing a bird's nest from our pipe (as shown in the photos) and didn't charge extra from the price I was told over the phone. He also answers text messages which is a bonus. He came to the rescue very quickly, and he also resolved the issue in no time. He informed me that the landlord should be responsible for the payment. Highly recommend!
Shirly G.Verified Google reviewFantastic, professional service! Eyal provided excellent dryer vent cleaning, with options offered at fair pricing. A nice person too, being flexible when our schedule had to change due to circumstances beyond our control, accommodating all our needs on the day of our service.
Shari S.Google · Local GuideWe would definitely recommend Vent pro NYC. Eyal is very nice, professional, and accommodating. It is always easy to schedule an appointment with him and he does a great job. I can rest assured that my dryer vent is clean and safe after he leaves.
Muriel B.Verified Google reviewHe was so professional, and clean. This is a must for every household to do yearly!
Mariel D.Verified Google reviewMy dryer was taking 90+ minutes to dry a load of clothing. I wasn't sure if I needed a new dryer or just a good cleaning. Eyal came, right away I might add, and said he would check first to see if it's working because he wouldn't charge me for cleaning a broken dryer. Once he confirmed that my dryer was fine he went in and did a thorough cleaning. I can't believe the lint that was coming out of my dryer! He did an excellent job and will definitely recommend him and use him again!
SheriGoogle · Local GuideEyal was very professional. Arrived with all necessary equipment about 15 mins earlier than appointment time. Did a very good job and cleaned out our dryer vents. He took the time to explain how to maintain it and also cleaned up by vacuuming the debris. Very pleasant person to deal with. I have already booked complete duct cleaning with his company.

About
The reason I started Vent Pro NYC was a fire.
A close friend lost half his home to a dryer fire that started in a vent nobody had thought twice about. He wasn't careless. The vent was simply hidden infrastructure — until it wasn't.
For the last decade I've worked with fire departments and appliance manufacturers to develop a cleaning process that actually proves itself with measurements, not promises. Every visit ends with a report you can keep.
Today Vent Pro NYC is family-owned and operated in the fullest sense — my son works alongside me, and the family that answers your call is the family that shows up at your door.
If you're reading this, you're already ahead of the curve. Most people only call after something goes wrong. Let's make sure that's not your story.

Brooklyn, block by block
We know Brooklyn.
Brooklyn homes don’t vent like the suburbs. A brownstone’s dryer line can run thirty feet straight up to the roof. A pre-war walk-up hides its duct behind plaster nobody wants opened. After 2,500+ vents and 10+ years across this borough, your building isn’t a surprise to us.
Brownstones & row houses
A dryer line that climbs twenty-five to thirty-five feet to a roof cap. We bring the rods and the roof access to clean the whole run — not just the first six feet.
Pre-war walls
Old brick, plaster, and duct nobody has opened in decades. We trace the real path your vent takes before we touch anything.
Walk-ups & tight closets
Dryers wedged into hall closets, kitchens, and half-landings. We work the tight spots without taking your apartment apart.
Roof, wall & soffit vents
Brooklyn vents terminate in all three. We find where yours actually comes out — and clean it from the right end.
Bay Ridge to Bed‑Stuy, Park Slope to Sheepshead Bay — same family-owned team at your door, every visit.

Homes with pets
Pets in the house? Your dryer vent fills up faster.
Dogs and cats mean more hair — and it doesn’t all end up on the couch. Pet beds, blankets, towels, and fur-covered clothes shed fibers that pack into your dryer vent far faster than in a pet-free home. A clogged vent means longer drying, higher energy bills, more wear on the machine, and a real fire risk.
How often to book
- One or two moderate sheddersevery 6–8 mo
- Multiple pets or heavy sheddersevery 3–6 mo
- Washing pet bedding weeklyevery 3–4 mo
Most pet-free homes only need a yearly cleaning.
Call us sooner if you notice
- Clothes need more than one cycle to dry
- The dryer runs hot to the touch, or gives off a burning smell
- Little or no air from the outside vent while it’s running
- A faint pet-fur smell in the laundry room when the dryer’s running
