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 Bristow
About three in ten Bristow homes are townhouses, and in Victory Lakes the share is close to half: 609 of its 1,296 homes. An inside unit in a row has outside walls only at the front and back, so the dryer vent can’t simply go out the side. The line runs across a ceiling toward the back of the house, or straight up through the attic and out the roof, and each elbow along the way collects lint where nobody can see it.
The single-family houses, two in three homes here, split by where the builder put the laundry. A laundry room off the garage or the kitchen usually has a short dryer vent run straight out a wall. One up on the bedroom floor, common in houses from the 2000s, sends the line through the house to reach outside, and that’s the run that fills fastest.
By the Census count, the median Bristow owner home was built in 2004, so a lot of Bristow dryer vent lines have about twenty years of laundry behind them. The hood outside ages too: louvers stick, a flap that won’t close lets birds build in it, and a screen meant to keep them out catches lint instead. We look at the hood on every dryer vent cleaning, and anything it needs is priced before it’s done.
Few Bristow homes are rented, about one in ten, so the person booking is usually the person doing the laundry. In an HOA neighborhood, cleaning changes nothing outside and needs no approval. Swapping the hood for a different style, or moving where the dryer vent comes out, is another matter: Victory Lakes says owners may need an Application for Exterior Modification reviewed by its Covenants Committee before changing the outside of the house.
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
When it’s due
When the flap stops closing, nesting birds can move in, and a nest in the line chokes off the airflow almost entirely. If you see birds at the dryer vent hood, stop running the dryer until the line has had 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.
A 2005 house has run twenty years of laundry through its dryer vent, often a long run from an upstairs laundry room, and plenty have never been cleaned end to end.
The dryer vent, locally
Prince William County Fire and Rescue says to clean the lint out of the dryer vent pipe once a year, to check the venting behind the dryer for damage or restriction, and to have the dryer inspected if clothes take longer than normal to dry or come out hotter than usual. Source.

Choosing who cleans it
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
Run the dryer after the dryer vent cleaning and watch the flap: it should open fully while the dryer runs and drop shut when it stops. One that hangs open lets in cold air and birds; one that sticks shut sends lint back down the line.
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.

Moises and SwiftPro were excellent. They cleaned my dryer duct and repaired an area that had become disconnected and was therefore posing a fire hazard. Moises was punctual, friendly, and even went the extra mile to help me briefly with another small household project.

Questions
No. A dryer vent cleaning doesn’t change the outside of the house. The Covenants Committee reviews exterior changes, so a new hood in a different style, or a dryer vent moved to a new wall, is the kind of job to check with them first.
Start a load, then go look: the hood whose flap is pushed open by warm air is yours. Check the back wall first, then look up at the roof. If the flap only flutters, lint is choking the line, and the camera photos will show where.
The county’s fire and rescue department advises once a year. A household running several loads a day, or a townhouse line that climbs to the roof, can need it sooner; a hot laundry room or towels that want a second cycle tell you when.
