The question most people can't answer
When was the last time your dryer vent was actually cleaned?
If you don't know, you're not alone. We inspect the vent, measure airflow, clean it when needed, and give you photo-documented proof of what we found.

What are you trying to get done?
Not sure if your vent needs attention?
You don't need to know how risky your dryer is. You need to know whether your vent is actually clear.
Find out in 60 seconds. No email. No sales call. Just your result — based on maintenance history, symptoms and vent configuration, not a made-up “probability of fire.”

National fire data shows failure to clean is the largest contributing factor in home dryer fires (NFPA, 2014–2018: 32%), and federal guidance recommends periodic exhaust-vent inspection and cleaning. We measure the thing you are currently guessing about. Know. Don't guess.

What actually happens
Inspect. Clean. Document. Done.
1. Inspect
We pull the dryer, follow the vent path, and check the exterior termination and damper.
2. Measure
Airflow is measured at the termination, so the result is a number and not an opinion.
3. Clean
Accumulated lint and debris come out of the run. We stay until the duct is clear.
4. Show you
Photos, readings, and a plain result: clear, attention, or repair. Sent to you, dated.
The deliverable
Don't take our word for it. See what you get back.
Cleaners clean. We document. Every unit gets a record, and the building gets a status you can read in five seconds.

What if you find a problem?
We tell you. That's it. Every vent comes back with one of three results.
Clear
No action needed. Documented and dated.
Attention
Maintenance recommended, with the reading that shows why.
Repair
An issue needs correcting. Quoted separately, never assumed.
We'd rather tell you you're fine.
If your vent is clear and airflow is good, that is exactly what we will say — and you still get the record. We never perform repair work without your approval.
Why Zero
The dryer vent is the easiest maintenance item in the building to forget.
Nobody sees it. Nobody thinks about it. Nobody knows when it was last serviced. And when someone finally asks whether it was done, there is usually no record. We fix that.

- Clean, invoice, leave

- Photos on a phone nobody sends you
- Priced on the doorstep, after the upsell
Zero Vent Fires
- Inspect, clean, document
- Airflow measured and written down
- Photos of the duct and the termination
- Unit record and a board-ready PDF in 48 hours

We don't promise a building will never have a fire, and we don't inflate the statistics to sell an inspection. We document what we find, so you and anyone who asks can see it was checked.
