Dryer vent cleaning for homes and commercial buildings
Same rotary-brush equipment, same airflow testing, two very different jobs. Whether it is one dryer in a two-story home or forty stacked units in an apartment building, we clean the entire run — not just what a vacuum can reach.
For homeowners
Residential dryer vent cleaning
Most Portland homes route the dryer duct through walls, crawl spaces, or all the way up through the roofline — and that full run is where lint collects. If loads take two or three cycles or the laundry room feels humid, the vent is telling you something.

- Bird nest and exterior hood clearing
- Airflow and dryer performance check on every visit

In their words
What Portland homeowners say after the lint comes out
Three loads down to one
Towels were taking three cycles and I assumed the dryer was dying. The tech pulled a shocking amount of lint out of the wall run, showed me the before and after photos, and now everything dries in one cycle. Should have done this years ago.
That burning smell is gone
Every time the dryer ran, the laundry room smelled hot and I was honestly scared to leave the house with it on. They cleared the full run to the roof, tested the airflow at the vent, and the smell was gone that same afternoon.
A bird nest, of all things
Turns out our vent hood was hosting a bird nest and the duct was packed solid. They removed it, cleaned the whole line, and put a proper cover on so it will not happen again. On time, tidy, and the price matched the phone quote exactly.
The photos sold me
I have been burned by vague service calls before, so the before and after photos meant a lot. You can literally see the duct go from half blocked to clear. Quick scheduling, a real quote over the phone, and zero upsell at the door.
In and out during nap time
Scheduled for a Tuesday morning, they showed up right at the start of the window and were done in about an hour. Quiet, careful around the house, and they left the laundry room cleaner than they found it. Our dryer runs noticeably hotter — in the good way.

Before you call
Dryer vent cleaning questions, answered straight
The things Portland homeowners ask us most, with real answers — no runaround, no upsell.
How often should dryer vents be cleaned in Portland?
Dryer vents should be cleaned at least once a year. Homes with long or roofline duct runs, large households, or pets that shed heavily often need cleaning every 6 to 9 months, because lint accumulates faster than the vent can shed it.
Regular cleaning is a fire-prevention measure, not just maintenance — the Oregon State Fire Marshal tracks home fires statewide, and dryers are a recurring cause.
Are clogged dryer vents actually a fire hazard?
Yes. Lint is highly flammable, and a blocked vent traps the heat a dryer needs to exhaust — that combination starts thousands of house fires in the U.S. every year. Clearing the full duct run removes both the fuel and the trapped heat.
Portland Fire & Rescue publishes home fire safety guidance for local residents, and dryer lint is a standard item on prevention checklists.
What are the warning signs of a clogged dryer vent?
The most common signs are clothes needing two or more cycles to dry, a hot or burning smell in the laundry room, a dryer that is hot to the touch, visible lint around the exterior vent hood, and a humid laundry room while the dryer runs. Any one of these means the vent needs attention.
How long does a dryer vent cleaning take?
Most Portland homes take 45 to 90 minutes. That covers clearing the full duct run from the dryer to the exterior hood, removing blockages like bird nests, testing airflow at the vent, and cleaning up. Multi-story or roofline runs sit at the longer end of that range.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Portland?
Cascade Lint quotes every job over the phone before booking, so you know the price before we arrive. Cost depends on the length of the duct run, roof or multi-story access, and whether a blockage like a bird nest needs removal. There are no add-ons at the door.
How do I verify a dryer vent company is legitimate?
Ask for proof of insurance, look for before and after photos of real jobs, and check the company’s standing with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board, which maintains a public license search for Oregon contractors. A legitimate company will volunteer all three without hesitation.
