Lint Dragon provides comprehensive dryer vent cleaning and safety services throughout Lady Lake and the surrounding Lake County communities. Whether you live in one of Lady Lake’s established residential neighborhoods near Rolling Acres or closer to Highway 27/441, our team brings the same thorough approach to every home we service.
As a local business with deep roots in Central Florida, we understand the specific challenges Lady Lake homeowners face, from roof-vented dryer systems common in the area to the effects of Florida’s humidity on lint buildup and airflow. Our technicians arrive prepared to handle the full scope of your dryer vent system, not just the easy-to-reach parts.
Dryer vent cleaning isn’t something most homeowners think about until there’s a problem. Clothes take forever to dry. The laundry room gets uncomfortably hot. Or worse, you notice a burning smell that makes you stop the dryer mid-cycle. These warning signs indicate a clogged or restricted vent system, and ignoring them puts your home and family at risk.
At Lint Dragon, we’ve built our reputation on doing the job right the first time. Here’s what sets our service apart:
We don’t just clean the dryer vent opening or the transition hose behind your dryer. Our technicians inspect and clean the entire vent path, including roof termination points that are common in Lady Lake homes. This full-system approach ensures that lint, dust, and debris are removed from every section of your vent, not just the accessible areas.
Before starting Lint Dragon, our team spent years repairing dryers, washers, and other major appliances through Jonathan’s Appliance Services. This hands-on experience means we understand how dryers work, what causes performance issues, and how a clogged vent affects your appliance’s lifespan. We bring a level of technical knowledge that goes beyond basic vent cleaning.
After cleaning your vent system, we perform an airflow test to verify that your dryer is venting properly. This step confirms that the cleaning was effective and that air is moving through your system the way it should. Many companies skip this step, but we include it as standard practice on every service call.
If we find a crushed, torn, or outdated dryer hose during our inspection, we can replace it on the spot. We carry both economical foil flex hoses and premium DryerFlex hoses on every truck, so you don’t have to wait for a second appointment or deal with a temporary fix. This convenience saves you time and gets your dryer back to safe, efficient operation immediately.
Our signature service removes years of lint, dust, and debris buildup from your complete vent system. We clean from the dryer connection all the way to the outside wall or roof, ensuring every section of your vent is thoroughly cleared. This full-system approach addresses the entire airflow path, not just the easy-to-reach sections.
What’s included in our dryer vent cleaning:
Most Lady Lake homes need professional dryer vent cleaning once a year. Homes with longer vent runs, multiple pets, or frequent laundry use may benefit from more frequent service.
Not sure if your vent system needs cleaning? Our professional inspection provides the answers you need. Using camera scope technology and airflow testing, we’ll give you a complete diagnostic look at your dryer vent system before problems get worse.
What’s included in our inspection:
Crushed, damaged, or outdated hoses can block airflow and create serious fire hazards. The flexible transition hose connecting your dryer to the wall is a common failure point that many homeowners overlook. We carry both standard foil hoses and heavy-duty DryerFlex hoses on every truck, so replacements can be done quickly during any visit.
If we find a damaged hose during your service call, we can replace it on the spot with no need for a return appointment. DryerFlex hoses are crush-resistant, code-compliant, and provide superior airflow compared to standard options.
Lint doesn’t just collect in vents. It builds up inside your dryer too, particularly in the blower housing, motor compartment, and behind the lint screen. This internal lint accumulation can cause overheating, reduce dryer performance, and shorten your appliance’s lifespan.
We deep-clean the lint trap area, blower housing, and internal ducts to prevent overheating and extend your dryer’s life. This service can be added to any vent cleaning appointment or scheduled as a standalone visit.
If your dryer vent is damaged, disconnected, or improperly routed, we’ll fix it right. Our team can handle vent repairs, re-routing to shorten airflow paths and reduce lint buildup, and upgrades to bring your system up to current safety standards.
We also provide professional installation services for:
Repair and installation services require custom quotes based on the scope of work, materials needed, and access requirements.
Many homes in Lady Lake have dryer vents that exhaust through the roof rather than through an exterior wall. While this design works well, it also means the vent run is often longer and harder to access. Roof vents require professional cleaning because homeowners typically can’t reach the termination point or inspect the full vent path without specialized equipment.
We regularly service roof-vented dryer systems throughout Lady Lake and come prepared with the proper tools to clean from the dryer all the way to the roof cap. Our technicians are familiar with the common roof configurations in the area and can safely access and service your vent system.
One of the most serious issues we find in Lady Lake homes is disconnected ductwork in attic spaces. This often happens after roof replacements when new roof caps are installed but the interior ductwork isn’t properly reconnected. The result is hot, moist air and lint being vented directly into your attic instead of outside.
Disconnected vents can go unnoticed for months or even years because the dryer appears to be working. But the damage accumulates over time: moisture builds up in insulation, mold can develop, and fire risk increases due to lint accumulation in the attic. Our inspection process catches these hidden problems before they become serious. Learn more about this common issue in our article about disconnected dryer vents.
The flexible hose that connects your dryer to the wall vent (called a transition hose) is often overlooked during regular home maintenance. Over time, these hoses can become crushed when the dryer is pushed too close to the wall, torn from repeated moving, or simply degrade from age and heat exposure.
We see many homes in Lady Lake still using thin foil flex hoses or, worse, plastic hoses that don’t meet current safety codes. During every service call, we inspect your transition hose and can replace it on the spot if needed with a safe, code-compliant option.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, thousands of residential fires each year are caused by dryer lint buildup. The combination of heat, restricted airflow, and accumulated lint creates a serious fire hazard that many homeowners don’t realize exists until it’s too late. Regular professional cleaning removes this risk and protects your home and family. If you’re noticing any warning signs of a clogged vent, don’t wait to schedule service.
A clogged dryer vent forces your dryer to work harder and run longer to dry the same load of laundry. This wastes energy and increases your monthly utility bills. After a thorough vent cleaning, most Lady Lake homeowners notice immediate improvements in drying times and can often reduce the number of cycles needed to fully dry their clothes.
When your dryer has to work against a restricted vent, it puts excessive wear on heating elements, motors, thermostats, and other components. Over time, this leads to premature appliance failure and costly repairs. Regular vent cleaning reduces this strain and helps your dryer last years longer than it would otherwise.
A properly vented dryer system exhausts moisture, lint, and odors outside your home. When vents are clogged or disconnected, these contaminants can end up in your living spaces or attic, affecting your home’s air quality and potentially causing respiratory issues or musty odors.

Initial Assessment: Our technician will introduce themselves, discuss any concerns you’ve noticed with your dryer, and explain the service process. We’ll locate your dryer’s exterior vent termination point (roof or wall) and assess the overall system layout.
System Inspection: Before cleaning, we inspect the entire vent path, checking for damage, disconnections, improper materials, or code violations.
Complete Cleaning: Using professional-grade equipment, we clean the full vent system from your dryer to the exterior termination point. This includes the transition hose, all ductwork, and the roof or wall cap. We also clean the interior lint cavity behind your dryer’s lint trap.
Airflow Verification: After cleaning, we perform an airflow test to confirm that air is moving properly through your system.
Final Recommendations: We’ll explain any issues we found, show you what we did, and provide honest recommendations for any additional work that might be needed. We never push unnecessary services, but we’ll always tell you if we find a safety concern that should be addressed.
Nothing means more to us than happy homeowners. Here’s what your neighbors are saying about their Lint Dragon Dryer Vent Cleaning experience:
Most Lady Lake homeowners should schedule professional dryer vent cleaning annually. However, if you do a lot of laundry, have a large family, or notice any warning signs like longer drying times or excess lint around your dryer, you may need more frequent service. Homes with roof-vented systems or longer vent runs should also consider annual cleaning as a minimum.
Most standard cleanings take 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the length and complexity of your vent system. Roof-vented systems or homes with very long vent runs may take slightly longer. Our Advanced and Dragon’s Eye packages, which include camera scope inspection and detailed testing, typically take 90 minutes to two hours.
For roof-vented dryer systems (common in Lady Lake), yes, we’ll need to access your roof to clean and inspect the termination point. Our technicians are experienced with roof access and take appropriate safety precautions. We’re familiar with the typical roof configurations found in Lady Lake homes and come prepared with the proper equipment.
Yes, we ask that someone be home during the appointment. Our technician will need access to your dryer, laundry area, and potentially your attic (for roof-vented systems). We’ll also want to show you any issues we find and answer any questions you might have about your system.
If we discover damaged ductwork, a crushed hose, code violations, or other issues, we’ll explain the problem clearly and provide honest recommendations. For simple fixes like hose replacement, we can often handle it the same day since we carry parts on our truck. More complex repairs like vent re-routing or roof collar replacement require custom quotes, but we’ll explain all your options.
