Dryer vent Cleaning Service

We provide inspection and cleaning for the readily accessible portions of the dryer vent system in your home. This is one of our basic services. At Midtown Chimney Sweeps and Dryer Vent Cleaning we use a brush and high-velocity air to remove lint. When your dryer duct vent is cleaned, your vent system flows more easily and your dryer operates more efficiently. Excessive lint buildup occurs slowly and gradually. You don’t realize it is happening. Cleaning out the lint filter isn’t enough to responsibly maintain your dryer.

Residences Should Have Dirty Dryer Vents Cleaned

There are 16,000 reported annual home fires related to laundry center fires in American. Electric dryers are at the heart of the danger of fire due to the high voltage electric element that heats the air to dry the clothes. A hot element combined with fuel such as lint can be a powerful combination! At Midtown Chimney Sweeps and Dryer Vent Cleaning, we use a brush and high velocity air to blast the dryer lint from the vent.

If all you need is a dryer vent cleaning, we are happy to do so- ask for a stand-alone dryer vent cleaning service. So we recommend that you combine and save! Please call today to learn prices, which vary according to location and time of year.

Flex Hoses for Dryers

A dryer vent fire may be reduced with the use of properly UL Listed and Tested dryer vent flex hose. Numerous flexible dryer hoses may be available at Home Depot and Lowe’s that are not recommended per code. Never use plastic or flexible fabric style hoses. Only use aluminum rated products on your dryer venting system. At Midtown Chimney Sweeps we specialize in preparing your dryer vent for safe operation. We do so by recommending and installing UL Listed made in America Dryer Donnectors by IN-O-Vate Technologies, or other vendors who supply us with high quality aluminum connector hoses.

Wall Vents for Dryers

A dryer vent fire possibility may also be reduced by the proper termination of the dryer vent outside the home. At Midtown Chimney Sweeps we specialize in dryer vent cleaning and inspection, and installing the flapper device on the outside of your house that discharges the dryer exhaust air. An improperly constructed dryer vent termination will close off the air flow, resulting in hotter interior temperatures. At Midtown we use a Made In America product powder coated 22 gauge sheet metal Dryer Wall Ventor another quality product of solid aluminum.

Why Should I Sweep my Dryer Vent?

Dryer vents carry the lint from your clothes to the outside world. Lint is the by-product of heating and tumbling cotton and nylon clothing in a drum style dryer with high velocity air. The more children and pets that one has in the house the dirtier the dryer vent will be. Pet hair is extremely combustible and it is removed from people’s clothing in the clothes drying process and soon collects down the entire length of the dryer vent, setting up a perfect scenario for a dryer vent fire!

Why do Dryer Fires Happen?

When these dryer vents become damaged or dirty they create resistance and increased pressure on the clothes dryer’s internal blower. This increased pressure can result in the steadily rising temperature of the exhaust air which can actually ignite the combustible lint in the vent. The lint begins to burn and spreads through the lightweight aluminum vent pipe and starts a structure fire. Once the vent is compromised and the fire started, the fan blows air on the flames of the dryer vent fire and soon the flames spread very rapidly to the entire laundry room. Dryer vent fires can be prevented by easily and inexpensive annual cleaning.

Why Hire Midtown Chimney to Clean the Vent?

Most homeowners do not have the equipment to clean a dryer vent properly. Our uniformed technicians use the same powerful vacuum equipment for cleaning dryer vents as for cleaning chimneys, fireplaces, and air ducts. Our professionals use high-pressure air and specialized tools to remove the debris from vent runs, crevices, elbows, and bends, cleaning the entire length of the vent from the dryer to the outside of your home.

I highly recommend Chimney Sweeps! I called on a Friday and received appointment for Monday morning. Daniel came on time and quickly assessed the issue. My chimney liner needed to be replaced. To prevent water damage he installed a temporary cover. I was able to get replacement done the next week. Daniel did an excellent job and documented all of his work. It's great to work with a trustworthy technician.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the high recommendation! We’re proud to serve the Pittsburgh community and thrilled that Daniel could get your chimney liner sorted out so quickly. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to him—thanks for choosing us!

First time ever dealing with a Chimney Company. Derrick was sent over to Sweep the chimney. Brought to my attention that since I switched from Oil to Gas I needed a liner for the Chimney. Also showed me how the exhaust from the water heater and furnace were not properly attached to the Chimney. Scheduled his team to come back to add a liner and fix the pipes. Kurt and Jeff where the ones that installed the new liner and fixed all the piping to the way it should be. They all provided me with pictures before and after their work. Communicated with me the whole time. They were very friendly and took pride in their work. I highly recommend them.

Response from the owner:Alex, thank you for choosing Midtown! It’s vital to install a proper chimney liner in Hillsborough when switching from oil to gas. We’re glad Derrick could catch that for you to ensure your home stays safe!

My wife and I recently hired Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Pittsburgh for a fireplace and chimney cleaning and inspection, which resulted in an excellent and cost-effective investment in our 60-year-old brick house.

Daniel, the local franchise owner, was extremely diligent, thorough, and professional in his work and summarized findings in a full report (complete with photos) that he emailed to us later that day. Yes, there were several issues to be addressed, but he is making it easy to work with on a prioritized action plan over time that makes economic sense.

I highly recommend contacting Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Pittsburgh for your annual cleaning and inspection too!

Response from the owner:Gary, thank you for the detailed review! We’re glad our chimney cleaning and inspection in Pittsburgh provided the cost-effective peace of mind you and your wife were looking for.

After a woodpecker spent a day drumming on my chimney cap and flashing, I asked Midtown to come out and inspect the area for any damage. They arrived promptly, (even early!), quickly assessed the situation, providing photos and suggestions for moving forward. Their professionalism, competence, and courtesy was very impressive!

Response from the owner:Woodpeckers can certainly cause a headache! We’re glad we could get out there quickly to inspect your chimney cap and flashing in the Pittsburgh area. Thank you for the great review!

AWESOME!!! I had a last-minute surprise requiring repairs to our fireplace prior to closing the sale of our home in a week. I engaged several companies, but it was Easter week. The only ones to respond was Midtown Chimney Sweeps. They proposed a course of action that made total sense and quoted a very reasonable price. The came out the Monday after Easter and completed the job by noon and it was beautiful! Byron and Bo were the ultimate professionals and super friendly. I knew I was in good hands. Of the 3 companies I have used in the past 3 years, Midtown is definitely the best. I will never use a different chimney service from here moving forward.

I recently had my chimney professionally cleaned, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, the process was smooth, efficient, and handled with a high level of professionalism.

The technician arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and took great care to keep my home clean throughout the service. You can tell they take pride in their work—not only was the chimney thoroughly cleaned, but they also did a full inspection and gave helpful advice on maintenance and safety.

What stood out most was the attention to detail and respect for my home. There was no mess left behind, and everything was completed in a timely manner.

If you’re looking for reliable, honest, and high-quality chimney service, I highly recommend them. I’ll definitely be using their services again in the future.

It’s refreshing to be able to have an experience where you work with a professional who really understands what it means to provide service. Having just moved into a new home I’ve had my share of encounters with professionals as in regard to moving things, setting up things, installing things, etc. Kurt Matthews of Midtown Chimney Sweeps was far and away the most professional individual I encountered. He was friendly, punctual, communicative, and most of all he knew what he was talking about. When we ran into issues where the previous owner of the home did not provide adequate access to important safety equipment Kurt and I, had a mini meeting in my living room, where he explained all the options. We decided on the less intrusive of which, and within a few hours I have a working, beautiful, safe fireplace. Thank you, Kurt!

Response from the owner:Welcome to your new home! We’re so glad we could provide the professional chimney cleaning in Hillsborough you needed during your move. Thank you for the wonderful review!
