Trusted Dryer Vent Cleaning for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
Dryer vent cleaning in Fort Lauderdale is not a luxury appointment. It’s the difference between a dryer that finishes a load in one cycle and one that runs twice as long while pushing humid, lint-choked air back into your laundry room. We’ve been cleaning dryer vents in Fort Lauderdale since 2004, and the pattern we see repeats itself: homeowners wait until the dryer takes 70 minutes to dry a towel before they call. By then, the vent is usually packed with years of lint, bird nesting material, and the fine sand that coastal air carries into every exterior vent opening from Dania Beach to Coral Ridge. Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale sends background-checked, uniformed technicians who arrive inside the quoted window, write the price down before any work starts, and back the whole job with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the vent isn’t done right, we come back and make it right. No charge. That’s the standard Roy Castellanos holds his crew to. Call (754) 354-3644 for a free estimate.
Key takeaways:
- Dryer vent cleaning in Fort Lauderdale typically costs $129 to $249 for a single-family home with a straight exterior vent run.
- Longer vent runs, second-story roof terminations, and severely packed vents add $50 to $100.
- Every job gets a written price before work begins, and it does not move at the door.
- The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the entire clean in writing for a full year.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service from Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale is a complete clearing of the duct that runs from the back of your dryer to the outside vent cap, using a rotary brush system that scrubs lint off the duct walls while a negative-air machine captures what breaks loose. In Fort Lauderdale, we recommend this Dryer Vent Inspection and cleaning service every 12 to 18 months for most households, and every 6 to 12 months if someone in the home has shedding pets, runs multiple loads daily, or has a vent run longer than 15 feet. The job usually takes 45 to 90 minutes. A standard single-family home clean runs $129 to $249 depending on vent length, access, and how packed the line is when we start.
The Rotary Brush Difference
We run a Rotobrush rotary brush system through the full vent run. The brush head spins against the duct walls, knocking loose lint that a simple vacuum wand leaves behind. Most hardware-store kits can’t reach past the first elbow.
Negative-Air Containment
Our Nikro negative-air machine pulls suction from the vent opening while the brush works, so loosened lint moves out of the duct and into the capture filter instead of drifting back into your laundry room. That’s the method commercial crews in Broward County use for a reason.
Styles & brands we work with
Dryer Vent Installation
Dryer Vent Installation covers replacing an existing vent run or putting in new venting for a relocated or new dryer, and it’s a service we handle regularly across Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise, and Margate. You need this when the existing vent is crushed, rusted through, or made of that old white plastic flex hose that collects lint at every ridge and violates Florida building code. Installation cost runs $199 to $449 for a standard replacement run, depending on length, wall construction, and whether the termination point moves. The price is written before we cut anything.
Rigid Pipe, Not Flex Hose
We install rigid metal duct wherever the run allows. It carries lint smoothly, reduces the fire load, and meets the code requirements Fort Lauderdale inspectors expect. Flex hose is only used for the final short connector at the dryer, the way the manufacturer intends.
Code-Compliant Terminations
Every installation ends with a proper exterior vent cap that keeps rain, rodents, and the salt air from working back into the duct. We seal the exterior penetration so humidity from Florida’s wet season doesn’t find its way into the wall cavity.
Dryer Vent Repair
Dryer Vent Repair is what we do when a vent run is disconnected in a wall or attic, crushed behind the dryer, or pulling exhaust into the house instead of outside. You’ll know something’s wrong when the laundry room gets warm and damp during a cycle, when lint coats the wall behind the dryer, or when the outside vent flap never opens. Most repairs in Fort Lauderdale run $149 to $299, and that includes reconnecting separated sections, replacing crushed pipe, and resealing joints with foil tape so the run holds pressure.
Finding the Disconnect
A vent that separates inside a wall or attic is pushing wet, lint-filled air into your home every single cycle. We locate the break, pull the separated sections back together, and secure them so they don’t separate again.
Fire-Load Reduction
A partially blocked or damaged vent makes the dryer run hotter and pushes the lint load up. Repairing the run properly brings the operating temperature down and gives you a full year of coverage under the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale is the Dryer Vent Cleaning Company homeowners in Fort Lauderdale call when they want a price in writing before the work starts and a crew that shows up uniformed, background-checked, and inside the promised window. We’ve served the trade since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and every location runs on The Garrison Standard: written price, job done by the book, site left clean. A typical residential vent cleaning costs $129 to $249 in Fort Lauderdale, and the quote does not change between the phone call and the invoice.
The Garrison Code in Practice
Our technicians operate under The Garrison Code: arrive inside the window, explain what you’re doing in plain terms, finish the job by the book, and leave the laundry room cleaner than we found it. No door-knocking sales pitch. No upsell ladder.
Written Prices, Every Job
We don’t give estimates that balloon once the technician is inside. The price you approve is the price on the invoice. That’s the no-hassle upfront pricing rule and it applies to every residential and commercial visit we make in Fort Lauderdale.
Dryer Vent Inspection
A Dryer Vent Inspection from Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale is a full check of the vent system from the back of the dryer to the outside cap, including air flow measurement, a look at every accessible joint, and a camera inspection when the run is long or hidden. You need this when you’ve moved into a new home, when the dryer has been running hot, or when you’re not sure when the vent was last cleaned. A standalone Vent Cleaning inspection in Fort Lauderdale runs $89 to $129, and the fee is credited toward the cleaning if we find a blockage and you have us clear it same day.
Camera Inspection for Hidden Runs
Vent runs that travel through walls, floors, or attics can’t be judged by eye. We run a small camera through the duct to see exactly what’s in there: lint, crushed pipe, separated joints, or a bird nest. You’ll see the footage before we write the work order.
Airflow and Termination Check
We measure the air flow at the exterior cap and compare it to what the dryer is rated to push. A weak reading tells us something’s wrong before it becomes a repair. We also check the vent flap, the cap screen, and the seal around the exterior opening.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning covers multi-dryer laundry rooms, apartment building vents, laundromats, and hotel laundry operations across Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, and Hallandale Beach. Commercial runs collect lint faster than residential ones because the machines run more hours, and the fire load builds whether anyone notices or not. Pricing runs $199 to $649 per stack or riser depending on access, length, and how many dryers share the line. We schedule commercial work around your operating hours and provide written documentation when the job is done.
Property Management Documentation
We give property managers a written service report with before-and-after photos of the vent interior. That documentation helps satisfy insurance questions and proves the maintenance was actually performed, not just invoiced.
Multi-Riser Coordination
Laundry rooms with riser stacks need coordination across floors. We work with your maintenance staff to map the vents, identify the roof or sidewall terminations, and clean every line without leaving a mess in tenant spaces.
Brands We Service
Our technicians work on dryer vent systems connected to every major dryer brand, including Speed Queen in commercial settings and the residential brands South Florida homes run daily. We’re familiar with the vent locations, termination requirements, and common failure points on Maytag, Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, GE, and Electrolux units. The brand of dryer doesn’t change how we clean the vent, but it does shape the inspection: some models have internal lint traps that fool homeowners into thinking the vent line is clear when it isn’t.
We also specify and install filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire when a home needs an air-cleaning solution alongside its vent work. For duct sealing applications, we use professional-grade mastic systems from Abatement Technologies. Whether you have a compact stackable unit in a Victoria Park condo or a large-capacity dryer in a Plantation home, we can help. Call (754) 354-3644 and Roy or a member of the team will walk you through it.

- Clothes take more than one cycle to dry. This is the most common early warning. A dryer in a Fort Lauderdale home with a clear vent should dry a normal load in 35 to 45 minutes. When it stretches past an hour, the vent is restricting air flow and the dryer is working against itself.
- The outside vent flap doesn’t open when the dryer runs. Go outside and look at the vent cap. If the flap stays shut during a cycle, the air pressure isn’t making it to the exit. That pressure is backing up somewhere, usually into a packed vent or a disconnected joint.
- Lint is building up behind and around the dryer. Lint in the room means the exhaust stream is leaking inside your home. That’s wet, warm, combustible air circulating through the laundry area, and it means a connection is loose or the line is blocked.
- The laundry room gets humid and hot during a cycle. Fort Lauderdale humidity makes this one easy to dismiss, but if the room heats up while the dryer runs, the vent is not pulling exhaust out the way it should. That moisture feeds mold inside walls and shortens the life of your dryer’s heating element.
- You can’t remember the last time the vent was cleaned. If it’s been more than two years, or if you’ve never had it done since moving in, assume it’s full. The lint doesn’t wait for a warning sign. It packs the pipe until the dryer tells you something’s wrong.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Inspection and air flow check. We start by running the dryer and measuring the air flow at the exterior vent cap. If the reading is weak, we know there’s blockage before we even touch the duct. We’ll also ask how long the dryer has been taking and whether anyone has serviced the vent before.
- 2
Price confirmation in writing. After the inspection, we write the exact price on the work order and hand it to you. That number does not change. If the vent is more packed than expected, the price stays what we agreed to before any work starts.
- 3
Rotary brush cleaning with negative-air containment. We run the Rotobrush system through the full vent run while the Nikro negative-air machine pulls the loosened lint out the exterior side and into a sealed filter. You don’t get a dust cloud in the laundry room, and you don’t get lint dumped on your floor.
- 4
Camera verification and final check. We send the camera through the clean vent and show you the footage. You see the duct walls clear with your own eyes before we pack up. We also confirm the exterior flap opens fully and seals when the dryer shuts off.
- 5
Site clean and paperwork done. We leave the laundry room the way we found it, or cleaner. You get a written summary of what we did, what we found, and your 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything’s not right within a year, we return and fix it at no charge.
How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A typical residential Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Lauderdale runs $129 to $249. Straight vent runs under 12 feet with an exterior wall termination usually land at the lower end of that range. Longer runs that travel through floors, walls, or up to a roof termination run $199 to $299. If the vent is severely packed, has a bird nest in the cap, or hasn’t been opened in years, expect $249 to $349 for the additional clearing work. Commercial and multi-dryer runs are priced per line and run $199 to $649.
What affects the price: the length of the vent run, the number of elbows, whether the termination is reachable by ladder, and how packed the line is when we arrive. Most important: you’ll never get a price that changes at the door. We write the number down after the inspection, before the work starts, and that’s the number on the invoice.
Be careful with any quote under $99 for a full vent cleaning. It’s usually a teaser price that becomes a much larger bill once the technician is inside and “discovers” that the vent needs more work. You’ll also want to ask whether the crew uses a rotary brush and negative-air machine, or just a shop vac. A shop vac gets the loose lint. It doesn’t scrub the walls where the fire load builds.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Lauderdale
Dryer vent cleaning is the removal of lint, debris, and obstructions from the duct that carries hot exhaust air from your dryer to the outside. We use a rotary brush system that scrubs the duct walls and a negative-air machine that captures the loosened lint. The goal is full air flow so the dryer runs efficiently and the lint fire load is reduced. In a humid climate like Fort Lauderdale’s, clean vents also keep excess moisture from lingering in the wall cavity. Call (754) 354-3644 for an exact quote.
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning takes 45 to 90 minutes from start to finish. Longer vent runs, roof terminations, severely packed ducts, or the need for a camera inspection after the clean can push the visit to two hours. We’ll give you a realistic time window when you schedule, and our crew arrives inside that window. The price is written down before the work starts, and the time on-site doesn’t change it.
A typical dryer vent cleaning in Fort Lauderdale costs $129 to $249 for a single-family home with a standard exterior-wall vent run, per our Dryer Vent Cleaning cost guide. Roof-terminated lines, long runs through walls or floors, and severely packed vents run $199 to $349. Repairs run $149 to $299, and new vent installation starts at $199. We give you the exact written price after the inspection and before any work begins, and that price does not move. Call us for a free estimate.
Yes. We service vent systems for every major dryer brand, including Samsung, LG, Maytag, Whirlpool, GE, Electrolux, and Speed Queen in commercial settings. The brand of dryer doesn’t change the vent cleaning method, but Samsung and LG units often have internal lint filters that can give a false sense of security. We check the full vent run regardless of what the internal filter shows.
We don’t run an emergency dispatch model, but we do answer the phone 24/7 with a live person. If your vent has separated and you’re getting hot exhaust in the laundry room, shut the dryer off and call us at (754) 354-3644. We’ll schedule the earliest available appointment and walk you through what to do in the meantime. There’s never a charge to talk to a real human and get the next step.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the entire dryer vent cleaning in writing for a full year. If the vent clogs again within 365 days, or if the work wasn’t done to the standard we described, we return and make it right at no charge. That includes a free second visit. You get the promise on paper with every job, and it’s the standard Roy Castellanos has kept since we started serving Fort Lauderdale in 2004.
Clear a path to the dryer and remove anything sitting on top of it. If the vent terminates on the outside of your home, make sure the area near the cap is accessible on the day of the visit. We handle everything else: the inspection, air flow measurement, the clean itself, and the final camera verification. Pets don’t need to be locked away, but we’ll ask if you can keep them out of the laundry room while we work.
