Why Dryer Vent Cleaning Matters
While it’s easy to forget, cleaning your dryer vent is one of the most crucial steps in maintaining a safe and efficient home. Over time, lint, debris can build up inside your dryer vent system. This not only causes your dryer to work harder, wasting energy and increasing your utility bills but also creates a serious fire hazard.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, nearly 3,000 home dryer fires occur each year, and the leading cause is failure to clean the vents. At Mama Bear Dryer Vent Care, we’re on a mission to change that one home at a time.

At Mama Bear, we offer comprehensive dryer vent services tailored to your home’s unique needs. Whether you live in a single-family home, a townhome, or manage a multi-unit property, we've got you covered.

Not sure if your vent needs cleaning? No problem. We offer stand-alone dryer vent inspections using specialized cameras and airflow testing equipment. This is a great option for homebuyers, landlords, or homeowners who haven’t had their vents checked in a while.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Our core service includes a complete cleaning of your dryer vent system from the back of the dryer all the way to the exterior vent outlet. We use high-powered vacuums, brushes, and inspection tools to ensure that your vent is completely clear of lint and debris.

How Often Should You Clean Your Dryer Vent?
The frequency of dryer vent cleaning depends on a variety of factors, but a good general rule is every 1 to 5 years for most households. However, some homes may require cleaning as often as every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage patterns and specific conditions in the home.
Here are some key factors that can affect how often your dryer vent should be serviced:
📏 Length & Complexity of the Vent System
If your dryer is located far from an exterior wall, the vent duct is likely long and may have multiple turns or elbows. Any time the airflow has to change direction it reduces airflow like a car taking a sharp turn. Elbows also create spots where lint can accumulate more quickly leading to clogs. Homes with long or complex vent runs should consider annual inspections and cleanings to prevent buildup in hard-to-reach areas.
👨👩👧👦 Size of Your Household
The more laundry you do, the more lint your dryer produces. Large families, especially those with young children, tend to generate a higher laundry volume and should plan on more frequent cleanings—typically once per year—to keep the system running efficiently and safely.
🐶 Presence of Pets
Pet hair is a major contributor to dryer vent clogs. Even with diligent lint trap cleaning, fine fur can escape into the vent and combine with lint to create a thick, flammable mass. If you have shedding pets, it’s wise to clean your vent more often.
⏳ Noticeable Drying Delays
If your dryer starts taking longer than usual to dry clothes, it’s often a sign that your vent is partially clogged. This added strain wastes energy and reduces the lifespan of your dryer. Don’t ignore this warning—schedule a cleaning immediately to restore efficiency.
🌡️ Hot or Humid Laundry Room
A properly functioning vent system should channel hot, moist air outside. If your laundry room feels overly warm and humid during a cycle, the vent may not be exhausting air properly. This can lead to mold growth, drywall damage, or even structural rot over time.
🔥 Burning Smell or Lint Around the Dryer
If you smell something burning while your dryer is running, it's time to call a professional. A burning smell often indicates lint has made contact with the heating element or motor—both of which are serious fire risks. Likewise, excess lint around the base or back of the dryer is a red flag for clogged ducts.
🧼 Why Regular Maintenance Pays Off
Cleaning your dryer vent is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your home. Here’s what routine maintenance delivers:
-
Saves Money: Improves drying speed and reduces energy bills
-
Extends Appliance Life: Reduces wear on your dryer’s motor and heating element
-
Protects Your Home: Reduces risk of fires and moisture damage
-
Boosts Peace of Mind: You’ll rest easier knowing your system is safe and clean
If you’re not sure when your dryer vent was last cleaned, that’s a good sign it’s time to schedule an inspection. At Mama Bear Dryer Vent Care, we offer flexible maintenance plans and personalized recommendations based on your home’s unique setup.
