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, a year of Comfort+ membership included
$199, normally $298
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.
Recent work
What our technicians found and fixed on visits in Fairfax Station, from their notes on each job.
December 2025
Dryer vent cleaning with an airflow check, on the same visit as an air duct cleaning of every return and floor supply.
July 2025
A cleaning brush stuck about three feet into a dryer vent line. The inspection camera found it, it came out with about four feet of rod still attached, the lint was pulled, and the dryer was hooked back up.
What’s different in Fairfax Station
Fairfax Station is almost all single-family houses, 98 in every 100 in the 22039 ZIP, and most date from 1980 to 1999. In houses that size and age the laundry usually lands in one of three places: the basement, a mudroom by the garage, or upstairs by the bedrooms. Each one sends the dryer vent out a different way.
From a basement laundry the dryer vent usually leaves through the rim joist above the foundation, a short and simple run. An upstairs laundry may cross the attic to a roof hood. A laundry that shares a wall with the garage can’t exhaust into it, so its dryer vent often travels through a ceiling or between floor joists until it reaches an exterior wall, and each bend collects lint faster than the straight pipe around it.
Burke Lake Park and Fountainhead Regional Park are both inside 22039, and the wildlife doesn’t stay in them. Birds and squirrels look for warm, sheltered openings, and a dryer vent hood whose flap hangs open is exactly that. Twigs and grass packed into the hood block the dryer’s exhaust just as well as lint does, and usually faster.
If your dryer burns gas or propane, a clogged dryer vent line is more than slow laundry, because the exhaust has nowhere to go. That’s why the fire department’s advice, below, singles out gas dryers for a professional check.

When it’s due
With the dryer running, go outside and hold a hand near the dryer vent hood. No air at all, or nesting material poking out past the flap, means something has moved in. We clear it, clean the line behind it, and price a guard for the hood if you want one.
The first thing most people notice. When the dryer vent is packed, the damp air has nowhere to go, so the clothes stay wet and the dryer runs hot.
Fire departments around Northern Virginia say once a year, and sooner if clothes start taking longer to dry. If you can’t remember the last dryer vent cleaning, it’s due.
The dryer vent, locally
Fairfax County Fire and Rescue tells every household to clean the lint out of the dryer vent pipe once a year, sooner if clothes are taking longer to dry, and to have a gas dryer checked by a professional. Source.

Choosing who cleans it
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
In a big house the dryer vent can come out somewhere you’d never think to look: a side wall behind shrubs, the roof, the far side of a deck. Ask whether they clean from both ends, and whether they’ve found the hood before they quote.
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.

I had Swiftpro clean my dryer vent from point to point as well another vent that was blocked with an old bird nest. Friendly customer support. Prompt tech. Highly recommend.

Questions
Because a dryer can’t exhaust into a garage, the line has to go up and over, through the framing between floors, before it gets outdoors. Every bend on that route holds lint, so a line like yours earns its yearly dryer vent cleaning more than a short one does, and the photos tell you what came out of it.
Yearly, by Fairfax County Fire and Rescue’s advice, and earlier whenever drying times stretch out. About 9 in 10 homes in 22039 have four bedrooms or more, and a house that full runs a lot of laundry, so earlier is the part that tends to apply.
