The Facts
Why Dryer Vent Cleaning Is Not Optional
A clogged dryer exhaust duct is one of the most overlooked fire hazards in Canadian homes. The lint that accumulates inside your ductwork is highly flammable — and it builds up with every load of laundry.

8 Warning Signs Your Dryer Vent Is Clogged
1 Clothes take more than one cycle to dry fully
2 Dryer feels unusually hot to the touch during operation
3 Burning or musty smell coming from the dryer
4 Laundry room feels excessively humid after a cycle
5 The exterior vent flap doesn't open when dryer is running
6 It has been more than 12 months since your last cleaning
7 Dryer shuts off before the cycle is complete (thermal overload)
8 Visible lint accumulation around the dryer or vent opening
How often should you clean your dryer vent?
The Ontario Fire Marshal and most appliance manufacturers recommend cleaning your dryer vent at least once per year for average households. Families with pets, large loads, or gas dryers should consider cleaning every 6 months. Condos and apartments with long duct runs (over 25 feet) may require more frequent service.
What happens if you don't clean your dryer vent?
Lint accumulation restricts airflow, forcing the dryer to work harder and run hotter. This overheats the heating element, damages the motor, and — most critically — creates a fire hazard. Blocked vents are responsible for over 90% of dryer-related fires in residential buildings.
Is dryer vent cleaning covered by home insurance?
Most Canadian home insurance policies do not cover fire damage caused by a lack of maintenance. If an adjuster determines your dryer fire resulted from a neglected vent, your claim may be denied. Annual cleaning creates a documented maintenance record that protects your coverage.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Dryer Vent Cleaning
Common questions Ontario homeowners ask before requesting dryer vent cleaning.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Ontario?
Professional dryer vent cleaning in Ontario often falls in the $89 to $179 range, depending on duct length, accessibility, and whether repairs are needed. Use the quote form with your city and dryer issue so the request can be reviewed.
How long does a dryer vent cleaning take?
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning often takes 45 to 90 minutes. Longer duct runs, multiple bends, rooftop terminations, or heavy lint buildup can take longer.
How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned?
Many homeowners clean dryer vents once per year. Homes with pets, large families, gas dryers, or long condo duct runs may need service more often.
Can I clean my dryer vent myself?
Homeowners can clean the lint screen and the first section behind the dryer, but a full duct run may need professional equipment, especially when the vent travels through walls, ceilings, or several bends.
What are signs that my dryer vent is clogged?
Common warning signs include clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, the dryer feeling unusually hot, a burning or musty smell, lint near the exterior vent, or the exterior vent flap not opening during a cycle.
Do you service condos and apartments?

Can a clogged dryer vent cause a fire?
Yes. Lint is flammable, and blocked airflow can cause heat to build up inside the dryer and vent system. Keeping the vent clear helps reduce that risk.
What is the difference between dryer vent cleaning and duct cleaning?
Dryer vent cleaning focuses on the exhaust duct for your clothes dryer. Duct cleaning usually refers to HVAC supply and return ducts. They are separate systems with different equipment and service needs.
