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 Dumfries
About four in ten homes inside the Town of Dumfries are townhouses, most of them in rows built between 1974 and 1992: Williamstown, Port O’Dumfries and South Cove. A unit in the middle of a row has no side wall to exhaust through, so the dryer vent line has to leave by the front, the back or the roof, and the farther the laundry sits from that wall, the longer the line and the more corners lint can catch on.
Snow is the other hazard. Prince William County Fire and Rescue says to keep the dryer vent and the furnace exhaust pipes clear of snow during and after a storm, and on the back of a townhouse row the dryer vent hood often sits low on the wall, where a drift covers it first. A buried hood pushes lint and damp air back up the line, and on a gas dryer the exhaust with them, so dig it out before the next load.
On the county side the jobs change. Montclair is mostly single-family, three houses in four, median built 1989, and the laundry tends to sit on the main floor or in the basement with a short run out a side or back wall. Cherry Hill is newer, its median home built in 2005, with about four in ten townhouses and two in ten homes in condo and apartment buildings, where the laundry is often upstairs and the dryer vent line crosses a ceiling to get outside.
Close to four in ten Cherry Hill homes are rented, compared with about two in ten inside the Town. If you own one of those rentals, book the dryer vent cleaning while the unit sits empty between leases, and keep the dated invoice with the lease file.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Montclair | 1989 | single-family houses, about 8 in 10 | electricity, about 5 in 10 | 1980s and 90s houses: dryer vents through a wall or a ceiling, often never cleaned end to end. |
| Cherry Hill | 2005 | townhouses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 7 in 10 | Townhouse streets: long dryer vent runs, often to the roof or the back wall. |
| Dumfries | 1985 | townhouses, about 4 in 10 | electricity, about 5 in 10 | Townhouse streets: long dryer vent runs, often to the roof or the back wall. |
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
Nearly all of the Town sits in 22026, with a sliver in Triangle’s 22172. None of it is in 22025.
Montclair in 22025, where the Postal Service accepts Montclair as the town name; Southbridge and Cherry Hill in 22026, outside the town line.
ZIPs 22025 and 22026 as a whole: Montclair, Cherry Hill and the rest of Dumfries mail, the Town’s homes included.
When it’s due
Lint collecting on the wall around the dryer vent hood, or a flap that hangs half open, means the line is choking near its outside end. Run the dryer and feel for air at the hood; if little comes out, book the 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
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.
A dryer vent line that climbs to the roof of a Dumfries townhouse packs lint at the high end, where nobody looks. Ask whether they’ll reach the hood end as well as the dryer end, and whether the photos show the top of the run, not only the part behind the machine.
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.

Questions
Yes. Montclair is in 22025 and Southbridge in 22026; both carry a Dumfries address and both are Prince William County. Same dryer vent cleaning, same price: $199, normally $298, with a year of Comfort+ membership included.
Longer, not different. A roof run climbs through the house before it gets out, so lint has more line to settle in. Tell us where the dryer vent hood is when you book, roof or wall and how high, so the visit is planned around it, and the camera photos cover the whole climb.
