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 Orlean
Orlean’s oldest houses were never planned around a laundry. The 2009 National Register nomination for the village describes houses that grew a room at a time: a log section, a stone addition, a frame link between them, and one house whose rear ell was eventually joined to a summer kitchen that used to stand on its own. In a house like that the dryer usually ends up in the newest wing, and its dryer vent line goes out through a frame wall or down under the floor rather than through old stone. The under-floor stretch is the one that sags and holds lint, so our camera looks there first.
Most homes around the village were built from 1970 through 1999, every one detached in the Census block group centered on Orlean, and plenty keep the laundry in a basement. From there the dryer vent line has to climb, up the foundation wall and out through the framing on top of it. Lint settles where the line turns upward, one of the first spots a dryer vent cleaning should reach.
The cold is the local twist. Warrenton 3 SE, the nearest station keeping long-term normals, averages about 98 nights a year at or below freezing and a January low near 25 degrees. A dryer vent line crossing an unheated crawlspace or garage carries warm, wet air into cold pipe all winter; water condenses inside, and lint sticks to it as a damp paste that builds faster than dry lint.
Wind is the other test. The Hume weather station, about four miles northwest, measured a 51 mph gust on February 7, 2026, and the June 2022 storm that reached Orlean left homes with siding damage. A hood flap that cracks or jams open lets in cold air and nesting birds; one pinned shut holds the lint in. After new siding, check that the dryer vent line was reconnected behind the new hood. Every cleaning ends at the hood, with the flap checked.
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
Orlean’s own ZIP, 20128, is post office boxes only, so the Census Bureau maps no area for it. These are ZIP 20115 as a whole, the Marshall ZIP area Orlean sits in, Marshall included.
When it’s due
If the room turns humid or the windows sweat while the dryer runs in winter, the moist air isn’t getting out. On a run through a cold crawlspace that often means damp lint packed in the line, or a section that has come apart.
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.
In an Orlean house the dryer vent line may cross a crawlspace or run under an addition before it reaches daylight. Ask whether the cleaning covers that whole stretch, and whether you’ll see photos of it, not just the first few feet behind the dryer.
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 highly recommend identifying the height of your outside vents to make sure they come prepared with the right equipment and ladders. Luckily, Aaron was able to bring the proper ladder as our vents are very high up.

Questions
It can. The January 2016 blizzard left an estimated 24 to 36 inches across northern Fauquier, and a hood a few inches above the ground disappears under a drift. A buried hood leaves the dryer nowhere to push its air. Clear it after a big snow; if the wall allows, raising it is a job we price in writing.
