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 Delaplane
Nearly every home in ZIP 20144 is a detached house, and four in ten went up in the 1990s. A laundry room from that decade usually sits on the main floor near the garage or down in the basement, and the dryer vent line takes a short path out through the nearest outside wall. Short is good. On a run like that the trouble collects at the two ends: the hose pressed flat against the wall behind the machine, and the hood outside, where Delaplane’s weather gets at it.
About half of Delaplane’s owner homes heat with propane, and where propane is already piped into the house, the dryer may burn it too. A propane dryer sends its burner’s exhaust out the same line as the lint, so a crushed hose or a blocked hood backs up more than damp air. If a remodel moves the laundry, Fauquier County wants a permit for any fuel-fired appliance and any appliance being moved; the dryer vent cleaning itself needs none.
Then the winter. The NOAA snow normal at The Plains, nine miles east, is just under 20 inches a season, 8.4 of it in January, and the Warrenton station averages about 13 days a year when the temperature never gets above freezing, so snow banked against a low hood can sit for days. On February 1, 2026, a weather station just south of the village logged a wind chill of zero. A flap frozen shut closes the line as surely as lint does: if a load comes out damp after a cold snap, go look at the hood first.
Wind and hail do the rest. On July 8, 2012, numerous trees and power lines came down in the Delaplane area toward Marshall, and on July 25, 2025, trees and wires blew down near Delaplane Grade Road and Carr Lane. In June 2019 golf-ball hail fell at Aspen Dale Winery, a couple of miles west-southwest of the village. A falling limb can bend a hood shut and hail cracks plastic louvers, so after a big storm, walk around to the hood and make sure the flap still opens and closes.

When it’s due
In the country a dryer vent hood is a warm, dry hole in the wall, and birds will build in one given the chance. The state’s 2004 survey of the Crooked Run Valley found many of its newer houses used as weekend or seasonal homes, and a line that sits unused for weeks is the easiest one to nest in. A nest can block the line completely, so don’t run the dryer until it’s out.
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.
Out here a bird guard over the hood makes sense, but a fine screen on a dryer vent catches lint and clogs. Ask what kind of guard they’d fit, and get its price in writing before it goes on.
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
The cleaning is the same job. What matters more is the hose: it should be metal, as short as the dryer allows, and never shoved back so far it kinks, because the burner’s exhaust has to leave through it too. If yours is foil or plastic, we’ll price a metal one before we start.
Fewer loads means lint builds more slowly, but a line that sits idle is the one birds and wasps move into. Once a year still fits, ideally early in spring before nesting season, plus a look at the hood flap each time you open the house up again.
