Keeping your dryer vent in good shape protects your home, shortens dry times, and lowers energy bills. At ABD Air Duct and Vent Cleaning, we provide full-service dryer vent repair, professional installation, and complete replacement across Fairfax, Fairfax County, and surrounding Northern Virginia communities. Learn what to watch for, what we do, and why local expertise matters.
Clogged, damaged, or improperly installed dryer vents are one of the most common causes of house fires and reduced dryer efficiency. Lint is highly flammable and builds up over time — regular inspection and professional cleaning or repair dramatically reduce risk and improve performance.
If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection right away:
Dryer takes much longer than usual to dry a load.
Dryer or clothes feel unusually hot at the end of a cycle.
A burning or musty smell while the dryer runs.
Visible lint buildup at the exterior vent hood or inside the dryer exhaust.
Dryer stops frequently or trips the breaker.
Rodents, birds, or pests nesting in the vent termination (common with older covers).
These warning signs often mean your vent is restricted, leaking, or not venting properly — all of which can create safety hazards and reduce your dryer’s lifespan.
We treat each job as a safety and performance upgrade. Our core services include:
Video inspection of the entire vent run to find blockages, kinks, collapsed sections, and improper connections.
Check for unsafe materials (flexible plastic or accordion ducts) and code violations.
Evaluate dryer location, vent length, number of bends, and termination hood condition.
We document findings and provide a clear, photo-backed estimate before any work begins.
High-powered rotary brushes, vacuums, and blowout tools remove lint from the dryer cabinet, hose, and the full duct run.
Cleaning improves efficiency, shortens drying times, and reduces fire risk.
We recommend at least annual checks; more often for large households or long vent runs.
Resealing loose connections and replacing crushed or kinked duct sections.
Replacing damaged transition hoses and worn clamps.
Repairing or replacing exterior termination hoods and bird or pest guards.
Fixing backdraft or airflow problems that cause moisture or lint blowback.
Replace poor materials (plastic or old foil) with smooth, rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting for best airflow and safety.
Re-route vents for shorter, straighter runs when possible to reduce lint buildup and improve dryer life.
Install new wall or roof terminations, high-efficiency vent covers, and Defender-style guards to stop pests and water intrusion.
For gas dryers, we check for proper venting to avoid carbon monoxide buildup, verify exhaust path integrity, and recommend service if combustion venting is compromised.a
On-time arrival and technician ID presentation.
A short walk-around to confirm the dryer model and the visible external vent.
A video or camera inspection of the duct run (we show you what we find).
A written estimate that lists recommended cleaning, repairs, or replacements.
Work completion, a final test run, and before-and-after photos.
Care tips and a recommended service interval tailored to your home and usage.
Fairfax homes vary — from older colonials to modern townhomes and new construction. Each presents different venting challenges. Local technicians like ours know the common issues in Northern Virginia, such as long vent runs, multi-story venting, or bird nesting in exhaust terminations. We combine local knowledge with the ABD satisfaction guarantee and thorough photo documentation for every job.
How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned?
At minimum, once a year for most households — more often for heavy use, long vent runs, or homes with pets.
Can I replace the vent myself?
Small transitions can be DIY, but full reroutes, metal duct installation, or rooftop terminations should be handled by professionals to ensure code compliance and safety.
Do you install pest or bird guards?
Yes. We install durable, low-profile guards that stop nesting without restricting airflow.
Will replacing vent material improve my dryer’s life?
Yes. Replacing restrictive plastic ducts with smooth metal ducting reduces strain on the dryer, improves airflow, and extends the appliance’s life.
