Dryer Vent Cleaning
Repair often gets paired with a full cleaning so the entire run is clear, not just the section we fixed.

Dryer Vent Repair & Realignment
A crushed, kinked, or disconnected vent section doesn't just slow your dryer down — it can push hot, lint-filled exhaust somewhere it was never meant to go.
Why Dryer Vent Repair Matters
Cleaning solves a clogged vent, but it can't fix a vent that's physically damaged. A crushed section restricts airflow no matter how clean the rest of the line is, and a disconnected joint can let hot exhaust and fine lint vent directly into a wall cavity, attic, or crawlspace instead of outside — which is a fire risk in its own right and can also lead to moisture and mold problems over time. Damaged vent sections are a common finding during routine cleanings, and they're not something to leave for "next time."
Realignment matters too. Dryer vents are supposed to run in as straight a path as possible, with gentle bends rather than sharp turns. Over the years, vents get shifted, kinked behind a moved appliance, or crimped where they were never properly supported — and each of those restrictions adds up to a dryer working harder than it should.
When You Might Need This
- A crushed or kinked section was found during a cleaning
- A joint has come disconnected somewhere along the run
- The transition behind your dryer is pinched or poorly fitted
- You've moved your dryer and the connection no longer sits right
What Happens During a Repair
We inspect the full vent run to find every point of damage, not just the obvious one. Depending on what we find, we'll repair or replace the affected section, straighten out kinked or crushed ductwork, and reconnect and seal every joint so exhaust travels where it's supposed to — outside, not into your home's structure. Once the repair is done, we confirm airflow at the termination point before we consider the job complete.
A Damaged Vent Undoes Everything Else.
You can have the cleanest vent line in the neighborhood, but a single crushed or disconnected section still leaves hot exhaust with nowhere safe to go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dryer Vent Repair Questions
Flexible vent sections get crushed when a dryer is pushed back too far against the wall, joints work loose over time, and transitions behind the dryer are often the weakest point in the whole run.
In most cases, yes. The majority of vent damage happens at accessible sections — behind the dryer, in the basement, or at the exterior termination — so repairs rarely require cutting into finished walls.
If your vent is simply full of lint, a cleaning will solve it. If a section is physically crushed, disconnected, or leaking exhaust into a wall cavity, that's a repair issue — and it's something we'll flag for you during a cleaning visit if we see it.
