Lint is the clue. Find it around the dryer door, on the floor behind the machine, or blowing outside in clumps, and the vent line deserves a look. Long runs, crushed foil hose, and a flap that will not open all slow the air down. Slow air means long cycles and hot laundry rooms. We inspect the full path.

Once a year suits most homes. Long duct runs, large families, or pet bedding loads may need it sooner. If drying time creeps up between cleanings, that's the real signal. We'd rather check airflow than guess by the calendar.
A shop vac clears the first foot or two. The packed lint usually sits farther in, at elbows and near the exit cap. Rotary brush tools reach that. We also inspect joints and the termination, which a vacuum can't tell you about.
Ridged foil and plastic duct catch lint and crush easily behind the machine. Rigid or semi-rigid metal keeps the path smooth and holds its shape. When we find flattened duct, we recommend replacing that section instead of just cleaning it.
Airflow may still be limited by a long route, too many elbows, or a stuck exterior flap. It can also be the machine itself — a weak blower wheel or failing heat element. We test both sides before saying which.
Yes. Bring us the symptom and whatever the other tech told you. We run our own tests and tell you what we find, even if it matches what you already heard.
Tell us what you hear, smell, or see. Grinding? Puddle? Blinking code? Small details narrow the list of likely causes before we ever pull the machine away from the wall.
A technician runs through a checklist: power, controls, sensors, motors, seals, drainage. We test instead of guessing, then walk you through the actual fault and your repair options.
Some faults are worth fixing today. Others mean the appliance is near the end. We tell you which is which, then complete the repair once you say go.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home — us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
Describe the fault, approve the written quote, get it fixed. Starting takes about a minute.
