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 Catlett
The Census counts every home in ZIP 20119 as a detached house, so each dryer vent line serves one household, dryer to hood. Its length mostly tracks the age of the house. About 180 homes here predate 1940, some in the old railroad village, put up long before clothes dryers were common. The laundry came later, in a cellar, a mudroom or a closed-in back porch, and the run out through the wall is often only a few feet.
The 1990s and 2000s houses, about 470 of them, more often put the laundry room near the kitchen or upstairs by the bedrooms. From there the dryer vent line has to cross the floor framing to an outside wall, sometimes across most of the house, or rise through the attic to the roof. Lint catches at each bend, out where no one ever looks.
Then the outside end. In the January 2016 storm, the co-op gauge near Warrenton, seven miles west-northwest, measured a 20.5 inch snowfall on the 23rd alone and a snowpack of 25 inches by the 26th, plenty to bury a low hood. Quarter-size hail fell in Catlett on April 15, 2024, and on August 13, 2021 gusts estimated at 75 mph brought down trees along Old Dumfries Road, two miles northwest of the village. Plastic hood flaps can crack or stick after weather like that, and one stuck closed holds lint as surely as a clogged line.
Propane heats 301 of the ZIP’s 1,040 owner homes, and some of those houses run a propane dryer too, so combustion exhaust shares the dryer vent line with the lint. If yours burns fuel and no carbon monoxide alarm is in the house, Fauquier County’s fire and rescue department accepts alarm requests through an online form.
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
ZIP 20119 as a whole: every Catlett address, the village included. The Census place for the village alone has too few homes for steady figures.
When it’s due
If loads dry fine in summer and drag in winter, a long dryer vent line through an unheated attic or crawlspace is the usual suspect. On the roughly 98 nights a year the Warrenton station drops to freezing, moist air condenses in that cold stretch and the lint cakes on it. The camera photos show where.
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.
Choosing who cleans it
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
The outside end is where a Catlett line can fail first. Ask for a photo of the hood flaps open while the dryer runs.
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.

We had Aaron from Swiftpro clean our dryer vent and he did a wonderful job. Arrived on time, was courteous and professional. He found and fixed a problem with the vent attachment at no extra charge. Would recommend highly!

Questions
Dig it out first. With the hood buried, the lint and moisture have nowhere to go but back up the line into the dryer. Keep a foot clear around it all winter.
Once a year for most houses, sooner for a long upstairs run, a houseful running the dryer every day, or a hood that spent a winter under drifts. If a load that used to take one cycle now takes two, don’t wait for the date.
