How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost? A Straight Answer

Jul 1, 2026

If you’ve tried to find dryer vent cleaning prices online, you’ve probably hit a wall of vague answers. ‘It depends.’ ‘Call for a quote.’ ‘Prices vary by location.’ None of that helps you figure out what to expect before you book.

So here’s the actual answer: professional dryer vent cleaning at Lint Dragon costs $119 for a standard service or $199 for an advanced clean. This post breaks down what each includes, what can affect the final price, and how to figure out which option makes sense for your home.

The Two Service Options

We offer two cleaning tiers. Most homes are well served by the standard option. The advanced service is worth considering for homes with longer vent runs, roof-vented systems, or any situation where you want more diagnostic detail.

Standard Dryer Vent Cleaning – $119

This is a complete cleaning of your dryer vent system from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination point, whether that’s a wall vent or a roof vent. It includes:

  • Full vent cleaning from the transition hose to the exit point
  • Lint cavity cleanout behind the lint trap
  • Dryer moved and reconnected if accessible
  • Lint cleanup around the dryer area
  • Visual inspection of the vent pipe, wall port, and termination cap
  • Basic airflow check

This is the right starting point for most homeowners doing routine maintenance or cleaning for the first time.

Advanced Dryer Vent Cleaning – $199

The advanced service includes everything in the standard clean, plus deeper diagnostics:

  • Airflow testing with readings taken before and after the cleaning
  • Full camera scope inspection of the vent line to check for internal blockages, damage, or buildup
  • Code-compliance check on vent termination (no screens, no improper caps)
  • Minor connection improvements including tightening loose clamps and applying foil tape to gaps
  • 25% off a DryerFlex hose upgrade if the transition hose needs replacing

The advanced service makes the most sense for homes with longer or harder-to-access vent systems, recurring dryer issues, or anyone who wants documented before-and-after airflow data. If you’re not sure which vent type you have, the roof vents vs. wall vents post explains the difference and why it matters.

What Can Affect Your Total

The prices above cover the cleaning service itself. A few things can add to the total depending on your specific situation.

Hose replacement

If your transition hose (the flexible connector between the dryer and the wall) is damaged, crushed, or the wrong type, replacing it during the same visit is the most convenient option. We carry both hose types on every truck:

  • Foil flex hose installed: $35
  • DryerFlex heavy-duty hose installed: $60 (or 25% off with the Advanced service)

Hose replacement is not always needed, but if we find a problem during the visit, you won’t have to schedule a second appointment.

Add-on products

We carry a few practical add-ons if you want them during the visit: dryer balls, a lint trap cleaning kit, washer hoses, and other laundry room basics. These are optional and will never be pushed on you. We mention them when they’re genuinely relevant.

Trip charge for addresses outside our standard coverage area

A small trip charge of $30 to $50 may apply if your address falls outside our standard service coverage. If this applies to you, it will appear automatically during online booking before you confirm anything. No surprises at the door.

Transparency is part of how we workWe don’t believe in ‘call for a quote’ pricing. The base costs are straightforward, any add-ons are your choice, and the trip charge shows up during booking if it applies. What you see is what you pay.

How to Choose Between Standard and Advanced

Here’s a simple way to think about it.

Standard is a good fit if:

  • You’re doing routine annual or biannual maintenance
  • Your dryer is performing normally and you just want to stay on top of things
  • You have a shorter, more accessible vent run
  • You’ve had the vent cleaned recently and don’t expect any issues

Advanced is worth considering if:

  • Your vent exits through the roof
  • You’ve never had the vent professionally cleaned or don’t know when it was last done
  • Drying times have been getting longer
  • You want documented airflow readings before and after
  • You’ve had recurring dryer problems that haven’t been fully resolved
  • You’re a landlord or property manager and want a record of the service

What If You’re Not Sure You Even Need a Cleaning?

If you’re on the fence about whether cleaning is necessary, there are two good starting points. Our post on whether dryer vent cleaning is really worth it walks through the practical case for routine service. And if you want to check the actual condition of your vent before committing to a cleaning, our dryer vent inspection service is $85 and can be applied toward a cleaning if one turns out to be needed.
