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 Lorton
More than half of Newington’s homes are townhouses, most of them built around 1980, give or take a decade, and in a lot of them the laundry sits on the bottom floor. The dryer vent goes straight out the back wall a few feet above the grass. A short run is the good news. The catch is where it comes out: often under the back deck, where leaves, lint and the odd nest collect around the hood and nobody sees them until the flap stops opening.
Laurel Hill flips that around. About six in ten of its homes went up after 2000, and a lot of houses from those years put the laundry room on the bedroom floor. From there the dryer vent has to cross between ceiling joists to an outside wall or climb to the roof, often with two or three elbows on the way. Lint drops out at every turn, and none of them can be seen from the laundry room.
Better than eight in ten Laurel Hill owners heat with gas, and where a house has gas the dryer often runs on it too. A gas dryer pushes its combustion gases out through that same lint-lined pipe, so a packed run or a connector crushed flat behind the machine matters more on one than on an electric. Pull the dryer out now and then and look: the connector should be metal, short, and not squashed against the wall.
Lorton’s middle Census place has a quarter of its homes in condos and apartments, and over a third of them are rented. Where the building has shared walls, the dryer vent may climb through them to the roof, and the association documents say whose line it is. Where the unit is rented, the landlord tends to schedule the dryer vent cleaning, and our dated invoice and camera photos go in the file for the next lease.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
Census figures for each place, and what that usually means for the dryer vent. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
| Place | Median home built | Most homes are | Heated with | What the dryer vent usually does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lorton | 2001 | single-family houses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 7 in 10 | Newer houses: upstairs laundry rooms and long dryer vent runs through the ceiling. |
| Newington | 1981 | townhouses, about 6 in 10 | electricity, about 6 in 10 | Townhouse streets: long dryer vent runs, often to the roof or the back wall. |
| Laurel Hill | 2002 | single-family houses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 8 in 10 | Newer houses: upstairs laundry rooms and long dryer vent runs through the ceiling. |
| Mason Neck | 1973 | single-family houses, nearly all | electricity, about 6 in 10 | Older houses: shorter dryer vent runs, and foil or plastic hose behind the dryer that should be metal. |

When it’s due
If your dryer vent hood sits under a back deck or behind lattice, go look at it while the dryer runs. A flap that barely lifts, or no warm damp air coming out at all, means lint and leaves have it pinned, and the whole line is overdue for a dryer vent cleaning.
A townhouse dryer vent runs a long way to reach the outside, often to the roof or across a ceiling to the back wall. A long run fills faster than a short one, so once a year matters more here.
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.
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 Lorton that one answer changes the job. Bottom-floor laundry in a Newington townhouse usually means a short line and a hood under the deck; a bedroom-floor laundry in Laurel Hill usually means a long line over the ceiling or up to the roof. A company that asks shows up with the right rods and ladder.
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
Yes, all over 22079, Mason Neck included, and it’s one price wherever you are: $199 for the dryer vent cleaning, normally $298, with a year of Comfort+ membership included, or $199 when it rides along with an air duct cleaning.
From the laundry room end with the brush and vacuum, then a look at the roof hood for packed lint and for a bird screen, which catches lint right where it does the most harm. If the roof is too steep to walk safely, you hear that before we start, and we clean everything that can be reached from inside.
The cleaning itself is the same. Fairfax County Fire and Rescue’s advice adds a professional look at a gas dryer, so say it’s gas on the booking, along with anything you’ve noticed lately, like a laundry room that runs warmer or clothes coming out hotter than they used to.
