What it costs
The same prices as everywhere we work: dryer vent cleaning is $199, normally $298, with a year of Comfort+ membership included, or $199 added to an air duct cleaning.

Dryer vent cleaning, added to an air duct cleaning
$199
The price covers the whole dryer vent line, from the back of the dryer to the hood outside, with camera photos of what we find, a dated invoice, and before and after photos of your line when we can get a clear shot. Anything past the cleaning, like a new hose or a guard on the hood, you get the price first.
With Comfort+ membership, $199 a year covers the dryer vent cleaning every year, plus a water heater flush with a sewer camera inspection, a heating maintenance visit and a cooling maintenance visit, and we tell you when each one is due.
What’s different in Arlington
In Arlington’s older neighborhoods the laundry is usually in the basement. Westover’s 1940s houses and Glebewood Village’s 1937 and 1938 rowhouses were each built over one, and the median owner-occupied home in the county went up in 1960. From a basement the dryer vent line is usually short: up along the joists to the top of the foundation and out through the wall, with the hood close to the ground.
That low hood is the usual trouble in a house like that. Leaves, mulch, a window well, a shrub that grew in front of it, or snow drifted against the flap, and the dryer pushes against it with every load. A dryer vent cleaning covers the line end to end and clears the hood, and if the flap is stuck or crushed you get the price of a new one before anyone touches it.
More than half of Arlington’s homes are in buildings of ten units or more, and there the dryer vent line can run inside the walls to a shared shaft or the roof. Whether that’s yours or the association’s is in your condo documents. If the line is yours, we clean it from the back of the dryer to wherever it leaves the building.
The County’s own energy pages make a point worth knowing: a heat pump dryer recycles its warm air inside the machine, so it needs no dryer vent at all. If you’ve switched to one, you don’t need us for this. A standard gas or electric dryer still needs its dryer vent cleaning.
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
When it’s due
A basement dryer vent usually exits low on the foundation, where leaves, mulch and snow pile against the flap. If the flap barely opens while the dryer runs, clear around it, then book the dryer vent cleaning for the line behind it.
In a lot of condo buildings the dryer vent runs through the walls and belongs to the association. Check your documents first; if it’s yours to keep up, we clean it end to end.
Older houses often still have a foil or plastic accordion hose behind the dryer. It crushes, it sags where lint collects, and fire departments tell people to use metal instead.
The dryer vent, locally

Choosing who cleans it
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
With a basement laundry the hood is often half hidden in a flower bed. A dryer vent cleaning that stops at the inside wall leaves the clog that’s easiest to see.
Brushing the first few feet from the laundry room isn’t a dryer vent cleaning. Ask whether they clean from the back of the dryer to the hood outside, and how they get the lint out of the house instead of pushing it further down.
Camera photos of the inside of your dryer vent line are how you know it needed cleaning, and before and after photos are how you know the job was done. Ask to see them, and for a dated invoice if your HOA wants proof.

Service technician Aaron K provided excellent service servicing cleaning my dryer vent. He was meticulous cleaning up dryer vent with specialized vacuum system and answered all my questions. I would definitely use swift pro again and am happy with the results.

Questions
No. A heat pump dryer keeps its warm air inside the machine, which is why Arlington County’s energy pages note it needs no dryer vent. Keep its lint filter and condenser clean the way the manual says. A regular dryer, gas or electric, still needs its line cleaned once a year.
Yes. A stacked unit in a hall closet usually sends its dryer vent through a wall or across a ceiling to the nearest outside wall, or into a shared shaft, and the shaft is the building’s question. We do more work through landlords and property managers in Arlington than in almost any other town, so condo buildings, tenant scheduling and access rules are routine for us there.
