Why a Clogged Vent Matters
Every dryer load pushes damp lint down the vent line and out of the house. Over the years, that lint packs in until air barely moves. Your dryer then runs longer, uses more electricity, and runs hotter than it was designed to.
The cheap consequence: two-cycle dry times and a higher power bill. The expensive consequence: burned-out heating elements and thermal fuses. The dangerous one: lint is extremely flammable, and the U.S. Fire Administration found that failure to clean was the leading factor contributing to the ignition of clothes dryer fires in residential buildings (34 percent; 2008 to 2010 data).
We repair dryers every single day at the shop — and a good share of the "broken dryers" people describe on the phone turn out to be clogged vents. That's why we offer this as a straightforward, flat-price service.
What the $99 Service Includes
- Full vent line cleaning from the dryer connection to the outside exit.
- Lint trap and trap housing cleaned out.
- Transition hose behind the machine checked (we'll tell you if it needs replacing — cheap corrugated foil hose is its own fire risk).
- Test cycle to confirm the airflow is back.

Landlord or property manager? Vent cleaning between tenants is cheap maintenance against the leading factor in dryer fires, failure to clean (U.S. Fire Administration).
Why Clean Your Dryer Vent Before Winter?
Fall and winter mean heavier laundry — towels, blankets, hoodies — which means longer cycles and more lint moving through the vent. Fallen leaves can also block the outside vent hood. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, failure to clean was the leading factor contributing to the ignition of clothes dryer fires in residential buildings, and those fires happen more often in the fall and winter months.
Watch for the warning signs: loads that need two cycles, the top of the dryer running hot, or the outside flap barely opening. If you see any of them, a cleaning is $99 flat. Not sure it's the vent? Try our free dryer troubleshooting help first.
How Do I Know My Dryer Vent Is Clogged?
The most common sign is clothes that need two cycles to dry. A vent that can't move air keeps heat and moisture in the dryer, so everything takes longer and the machine works harder.
- Towels and jeans are still damp after a full cycle.
- The top of the dryer or the laundry room gets unusually hot.
- A burning smell while the dryer runs.
- The flap on the outside vent barely opens, or you feel little air coming out.
- Lint collecting around the outside vent opening or behind the dryer.
A quick check: clean the lint screen, start the dryer, and go outside to see whether the flap opens and air pushes out. Weak or no airflow means the vent run is restricted. If you smell something burning, stop using the dryer and unplug it until the vent has been cleaned. Cleaning is $99 flat at your home. Not sure it's the vent?

How Often Should a Dryer Vent Be Cleaned?
About once a year for most households. Clean the lint screen after every load — that part is yours — and have the full vent run cleaned yearly.
Go every 6 to 9 months if you do five or more loads a week, or if the vent is long, has bends, or runs through the attic. If you've just moved in and don't know when it was last cleaned, or it has been more than a year or two, it's due now. Landlords and property managers: cleaning between tenants keeps the unit safer and the dryer working.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really need dryer vent cleaning?
Most households do, about once a year. Lint builds up in the vent line over time, and the U.S. Fire Administration found that failure to clean was the leading factor contributing to the ignition of clothes dryer fires in residential buildings (34 percent; 2008 to 2010 data). The signs that a cleaning is due: clothes that need two cycles, a dryer that runs hot, a burning smell, or an outside flap that barely opens. Southern's Appliance Rentals cleans the full vent line at your home for $99 flat.
How do I know my dryer vent needs cleaning?
The classic signs: clothes take two cycles to dry, the dryer and the laundry room get hot, a burning smell while it runs, or barely any airflow at the outside vent flap. If your dryer is more than a year or two past its last cleaning, it's due.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost?
$99 flat, at your home, anywhere in our service area. No trip fee, no upsell when we get there.
Is a clogged dryer vent really dangerous?
Yes. Lint is extremely flammable, and the U.S. Fire Administration found that failure to clean was the leading factor contributing to the ignition of clothes dryer fires in residential buildings (34 percent; 2008 to 2010 data). A clogged vent also makes the dryer run longer and hotter, which burns out heating elements and thermal fuses — the exact repairs we see at the shop every week.
How long does it take?
Usually under an hour, start to finish, including a test run to confirm the airflow is back.
My dryer still isn't heating after a vent cleaning — now what?
Then it's the machine, not the vent — usually a heating element or thermal fuse. Bring it to our shop and repair is $99 flat plus parts. We'll tell you on the phone which one it sounds like.
Do you clean dryer vents in Lawrenceville, Dacula, or Grayson?
Yes — we clean dryer vents in Gwinnett County, including Lawrenceville, Dacula, and Grayson. Same $99 flat price, no trip fee for the extra distance. Pick a day on the contact form (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays) and we'll text to confirm.
How often should a dryer vent be professionally cleaned?
Most households are fine with once a year. If you're doing five or more loads a week, have a long or bent vent run, or a newer home with the vent routed through the attic, cutting that to every 6–9 months keeps lint from building back up between visits.
Do you clean vents that run through the attic or a long duct run?
Yes — plenty of the newer construction around Gwinnett and Hall County routes the dryer vent a long way through the attic before it exits the roof. Longer, bent runs collect more lint and take a little more time, but they're still $99 flat.
Which towns do you clean dryer vents in?
Statham, Winder, Bogart, Bethlehem, Jefferson, Auburn, Hoschton, Braselton, and Athens are closest to the shop. We also clean vents in Monroe, Loganville, and Gwinnett County (Dacula, Lawrenceville, Grayson). The price is $99 flat at your home. Call or text 706-995-6964 if you don't see your town.
Can I clean my dryer vent myself?
Partly. Cleaning the lint screen every load is a DIY job and worth doing. The full duct run from the dryer to the outside vent is the part most people can't reach, and that's what our $99 flat cleaning covers: the vent line from the dryer connection to the outside exit, plus the lint trap and its housing.
Dryer taking forever?
$99 flat, at your home, under an hour. Book this week.
