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.
What’s different in Fort Belvoir
Fairfax County’s parcel records mark every one of Cook Inlet’s 256 lots as gas connected, so plenty of laundry rooms there run a gas dryer. A gas dryer sends its exhaust out the same dryer vent line as its lint and moisture, which makes a packed line on one more than a slow-drying nuisance. When we pull the machine out to reach the line, the flexible gas connector behind it gets a look before the dryer goes back against the wall.
Cook Inlet’s 108 townhouses add a layout problem. An inside unit has outside walls only at the front and the back, so wherever the builder put the laundry in 2003, the dryer vent line has to cross the house to reach one of them, threading between floor joists or turning up toward the roof. Each turn is a spot where lint settles and damp lint sticks. The 148 detached houses have side walls to work with, and their lines are usually shorter, with the hood on whatever wall sits nearest the dryer.
Then there’s the weather at the hood. NOAA’s storm records have a 66 mile an hour gust measured at Davison Army Airfield on post in May 2019, and gusts of 58 to 63 measured at Fort Belvoir during Sandy in October 2012. Wind like that cracks a plastic flap or jams it open, and an open flap invites birds and leaves in. In February 2021 the same records put about a quarter inch of ice near and east of I-95 after a night of sleet and freezing rain, plenty to glaze a flap shut. After a storm like those, start a load and go look at the hood.
Accotink’s houses on Backlick Road are older, mostly from 1925 and 1978 by the county’s dates, about half without a basement, and gas isn’t available to nearly any of those lots, so the dryer there is most likely electric. A main-floor laundry in a house like that usually has a short line straight through the nearest wall. We work off post only: family housing on post is maintained by The Villages at Belvoir, and residents put in a service request with The Villages.
When it’s due
A grey fan of lint stuck to the siding below the outside hood means the line is spitting out clumps it can’t carry. On a Cook Inlet townhouse, where the hood is often on the back wall above a deck or patio, it’s the easiest sign to spot.
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.
Cleaning the line and leaving skips the last foot of it. Ask the tech to run the dryer when the job’s done and confirm the flap at the hood swings open with strong air behind it. After a winter with ice on the hoods, that check counts.
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.

Aaron, Kaiden, Oscar, Derek and Felix did a great job installing an HVAC unit and cleaning out the ducts and dryer vents, which were very difficult to access! They were all very professional!

Questions
Usually the owner, so start with your landlord or property manager; many leases spell it out. Renters hold about a third of Cook Inlet’s homes, by the 2020 Census, and a dated invoice with before and after photos gives the owner a record from one tenant to the next.
Don’t run the dryer until it opens. Clear the ice from outside by hand, then start a load and check that the flap lifts. If it’s cracked or sticks after the thaw, a new hood is a small add-on, priced before we start the dryer vent cleaning.
$199, normally $298, with a year of Comfort+ membership included, or $199 added to an air duct cleaning.
