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.

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.

Paul Romero
I had a pellet stove failure and Midtown was the only place that offered solutions. They ordered the part and came all the way to Elbert to fix my stove. Tanner was a very professional guy and repaired my stove and offered advice on how to adjust for best heat. The owner was super nice and kept in touch with me on status. I would recommend to all my friends and family.
Aafke Lazar
Super grateful to the guys at Midtown Chimney/Fireplace. Called them for a Woodstove install for a new build. I needed it done quickly and had purchased materials and a stove from elsewhere.. Byron sent out two wonderful and competent installers NEXT day and my tricky install (steep roof!) was done perfectly in less than 24 hours from when I called them ❤️ so grateful!
Response from the owner:Thank you Aafke, It was our pleasure to head up the hill from Conifer, CO / Evergreen, CO to Bailey, Colorado and have the team set the venting through the roof. It was tricky, but we got it! And passed inspection too! Thank you for being so great to work with. We look forward to setting the wood stove soon! Byron

Gordon Gacek
I recently had Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Hillsborough, NJ install a new stainless steel chimney chase cover on my chimney to replace the 30-year-old non-stainless one that was rusty and in need of replacement. Several months later I was in my attic and noticed two small holes in my roof that I could see light coming through, in the vicinity of the chimney. I was concerned about this thinking that water could leak through the holes. I (mistakenly) thought that these holes were made when the chase cover was installed. I contacted the owner Kurt and told him about the holes, and sent him a picture of the holes as well. Kurt called me back right away and said the holes were definitely not caused by Derrick, the technician who installed the chase cover, but they would still come out and patch the holes for me at no charge. When Derrick came to my home to patch the holes, I took him up in the attic to show him where the holes were. He explained that they do not, and never have, put holes through the shingles like that. So it turned out that the holes were made by the roofing company that had installed a new roof a few years prior! And I had just never noticed them before. After Derrick explained what happened I felt terrible thinking that Midtown had made the holes during the chimney work but that was not the case. I was wrong. Yet, Kurt still offered to make the repair at no charge, knowing full well that they did not make those holes. And Derrick was very gracious about making the repair, telling me “it’s no problem…don’t worry about it!” So I can emphatically say that Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Hillsborough is a quality company that puts their customers first, and can heartily recommend them for anyone’s chimney needs.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for your kind words, Gordon! We're so glad we could assist you and that Derrick was able to clear up the confusion. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're always here if you need anything in the future! Thanks again for your time and business, take care! 🙂 - The Midtown Chimney Team🎩

Stef
Update: My issue was resolved after posting my complaint. The service was continuously friendly and the communication was very clear. I would use this business again if my issues arose and I would recommend them to my friends. Thank you again.

Old Review: I’m extremely disappointed with the experience we’ve had with Midtown Sweeps. I had issues with my fireplace and asked if they could repair it. The technician came, cleaned it up and was very kind. He told me he would send me out a quote for the replacement part but never did. I reached out to the technician and to the company directly with no response. Mind you I had this service done back in early November…. I am willing to change my review when your company can actually resolve the issue I called you for.
Response from the owner:Hi Stef: We've put together your gas fireplace repairs quote as soon as we were able, you should see this in your inbox by now. Sadly, we are a seasonal business, many times our senior technician (Master Hearth Professional) who puts our quotes together needs to leave the office and help with field work, therefore slowing down the quoting process. We are working on ways to improve this. We are working quickly to resolve your issue and if resolved, we do not wish for you to change your review, rather we would like you to add to your review on what Midtown did to assist you to repair your gas fireplace issue. We truly appreciate your feedback as it is an opportunity to be better! Thank you so much, Midtown Chimney Sweeps Team
Charles Denk
Folks at Midtown Chimney Fireplace Store went over and above when the power switch on my ComfortBilt pellet stove went out on a 5 degree morning. Pulled a switch from another unit and had me back up and heating in under an hour.
Thanks Byron, really appreciate your help
Response from the owner:Awesome, thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with us, Charles! It was our pleasure to ensure your home stayed warm on such a chilly morning! Stay cozy and don't hesitate to reach out if anything is needed, take care! - The Midtown Chimney Team🎩

Marcus did a great job. Very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He was friendly and was in and out quick.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Guard Lamothe! Marcus is always happy to share his knowledge to keep your chimney working safely and efficiently! Thanks again for your time and business, take care! - The Midtown Chimney Team🎩
Steve Trivette
Marcus and Midtown are amazing. I had a different company come out in October for a cleaning. Long story short, they ripped me off and did horrible work. I call Midtown and Marcus shows up and gives me the straight scoop. Cost me more $ but the job got done right and on time. I can’t say enough about Marcus and Midtown. World-class all the way. Can’t recommended them enough.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Steve! Marcus is truly one of the best and we'll be sure to pass this along to him! We're so happy we were able to help and get your chimney back to being clean and safe! Thanks again for your recommendation and please take care! - The Midtown Chimney Team🎩
