Lint Dragon provides comprehensive dryer vent cleaning and maintenance throughout Leesburg and the surrounding Lake County area. From waterfront homes on Lake Harris and Lake Griffin to established neighborhoods in downtown Leesburg and newer communities along Highway 27, we bring professional service and technical expertise to every property we visit.
Leesburg’s diverse housing market includes everything from seasonal waterfront retreats to year-round family homes, historic downtown properties to modern developments. Each type of property presents unique dryer vent challenges, and our team has the experience and equipment to handle them all with the same attention to detail and commitment to safety.
Whether you’re a full-time Leesburg resident, a seasonal homeowner who spends winters in Florida, or a property manager overseeing rental properties, dryer vent maintenance should be a priority. Clogged vents create fire hazards, waste energy, and damage appliances, regardless of how often the property is occupied.
At Lint Dragon, we understand the specific concerns that Leesburg homeowners face. Our service approach combines technical expertise from our appliance repair background with specialized training in dryer vent systems. Here’s what sets us apart:
Many Leesburg homeowners, particularly those with waterfront properties, spend only part of the year in Florida. If this describes your situation, you might not realize that dryer vents still need regular maintenance even when a home sits vacant for months at a time. In fact, seasonal properties can develop unique issues like moisture accumulation in vent systems, pest intrusion through exterior vent caps, lint settling and compacting during periods of non-use, and disconnected or damaged vents going unnoticed until you return.
We work with many seasonal homeowners in the Leesburg area and can coordinate service during your time away or when you return to Florida. We’ll also provide recommendations specific to properties that sit vacant part of the year, such as pest-proof vent caps or inspection schedules that align with your seasonal occupancy.
Homes on Lake Harris, Lake Griffin, and other Leesburg waterways face additional environmental factors that can affect dryer vent systems. Higher humidity levels common near water can accelerate lint compaction and reduce drying efficiency. Salt air in some areas can corrode metal vent components over time. Moisture exposure can lead to mold or mildew in vent systems. Seasonal storms and wind can damage exterior vent caps or termination points.
Our technicians understand these waterfront-specific challenges and pay extra attention to vent caps, termination points, and moisture-related issues when servicing homes near Leesburg’s lakes and waterways.
We don’t cut corners or skip difficult sections of your vent system. Lint Dragon cleans the entire vent path from your dryer’s transition hose through all ductwork to the exterior termination cap, whether that’s on your roof, through a wall, or in another location. This comprehensive approach ensures that lint is removed from every section of your system, not just the easily accessible parts.
Many Leesburg homes have longer vent runs due to property layouts, multiple stories, or architectural features. These extended systems require professional equipment and methodical cleaning to ensure thorough lint removal throughout the entire vent path.
For homeowners who want detailed evaluation or documentation of their vent system’s condition, we offer camera scope inspection technology and comprehensive airflow testing. This is particularly valuable for waterfront properties, rental homes, real estate transactions, or simply for peace of mind that your system has been properly serviced.
Keep your dryer safe, fast, and energy efficient with our comprehensive full-system cleaning. We clean from the dryer connection to the outside wall or roof, removing years of lint, dust, and debris buildup. You’ll enjoy faster drying times, better efficiency, and peace of mind knowing your home is protected from fire hazards.
Our complete dryer vent cleaning includes:
This service is ideal for annual maintenance and is particularly important for Leesburg waterfront properties where humidity can accelerate lint compaction. Most homes need cleaning once a year, though homes with long vent runs or heavy dryer use may benefit from more frequent service. Learn more about our dryer vent cleaning service.
Get a full diagnostic look at your dryer vent system before problems get worse. Our inspection service is especially valuable for seasonal Leesburg homeowners who want to verify their system’s condition before or after periods of non-use, or for property managers who need documentation of system condition.
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, especially in waterfront properties where humidity can accelerate material degradation.
We carry both standard foil hoses and heavy-duty DryerFlex hoses on every service truck. Replacements are quick, affordable, and can be done during any visit. If we identify a hose issue during your cleaning or inspection, we can address it immediately without requiring a follow-up appointment.
DryerFlex is our recommended option because it’s crush-resistant for tight spaces, fully code-compliant and fire-safe, provides superior airflow compared to standard flex, and offers excellent long-term durability even in humid environments.
Go beyond the vent with interior dryer cleaning. 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 causes overheating, reduces performance, and shortens 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 is particularly valuable for seasonal homes where internal lint can settle during periods of non-use.
If your dryer vent is damaged, disconnected, or improperly routed, we’ll fix it right. Our team can handle vent system repairs, re-routing to shorten airflow paths and reduce lint buildup, and system upgrades to bring your vent up to current safety standards.
We also provide professional installation services for:
All repair and installation work requires custom quotes based on scope, materials, and your specific property configuration.
Many Leesburg properties, particularly waterfront homes and newer developments, feature larger floor plans with laundry rooms located far from exterior walls. This often results in longer vent runs that can extend 20, 30, or even 40 feet from the dryer to the exterior termination point.
Longer vent runs create several challenges including increased lint accumulation due to more surface area for buildup, reduced airflow efficiency that makes dryers work harder, more frequent cleaning requirements to maintain safe operation, and potential code compliance issues if runs are excessively long.
Our professional cleaning equipment is designed to handle these extended vent runs effectively, using rotary brush systems and high-powered vacuums that can clean the full length of even the longest residential vent systems.
Homes located near Lake Harris, Lake Griffin, and other Leesburg waterways face higher ambient humidity levels that can affect dryer vent performance. When humid air combines with lint in vent systems, it can create several problems including lint that compacts more quickly and becomes harder to remove, moisture accumulation in vent ductwork, potential for mold or mildew growth in damp conditions, and reduced drying efficiency requiring longer cycle times.
During service calls at waterfront properties, we pay special attention to signs of moisture-related issues and can recommend solutions like improved vent slope, upgraded vent caps with better moisture protection, or more frequent cleaning schedules if needed.
If your Leesburg property serves as a seasonal residence or vacation home, your dryer vent system faces unique challenges during extended periods when the home sits vacant. Lint that has accumulated can settle and compact over time, making it harder to remove. Exterior vent caps can become damaged by weather or invaded by pests. Moisture can accumulate in vent systems. Problems can develop and worsen without anyone noticing.
We recommend that seasonal homeowners schedule dryer vent inspection and cleaning either before arriving for the season or early in their stay. This ensures that any issues that developed during your absence are addressed before you begin regular dryer use. Watch for these common warning signs when you return.
Many Leesburg homes use roof vents for dryer exhaust, a common approach in Florida construction. While this design works well, it creates maintenance challenges because roof vents are difficult for homeowners to access and inspect. Common issues we find include roof caps clogged with lint or damaged by storms, disconnected ductwork in attic spaces, especially after roof replacements, long vent runs from laundry rooms to roof terminations, and inadequate vent slope allowing moisture and lint to accumulate.
Our technicians are experienced with roof access and come prepared with appropriate safety equipment and ladders to properly service roof-vented systems throughout Leesburg.
Property managers and landlords with Leesburg rental properties need documentation of regular maintenance for liability protection and tenant satisfaction. Dryer vent issues in rentals can create several problems including fire hazards that expose owners to liability, tenant complaints about poor dryer performance, higher utility bills that may fall to property owners, and appliance damage requiring expensive repairs or replacement.
Our Dragon’s Eye package provides the detailed documentation that property managers need, including before and after photos, written service reports, and professional recommendations. We can also coordinate service schedules across multiple properties for efficiency.
The U.S. Fire Administration reports that failure to clean dryer vents is the leading factor contributing to residential dryer fires. Thousands of these fires occur annually, causing property damage, injuries, and even deaths. Lint is extremely flammable, and when it accumulates in vent systems along with heat from your dryer, it creates a dangerous situation that can ignite and spread quickly.
For waterfront homes, vacation properties, or any Leesburg residence, professional dryer vent cleaning removes this hidden fire hazard and provides peace of mind that your property is protected.
A clogged or restricted dryer vent forces your dryer to run longer and work harder to dry each load of laundry. This wastes electricity or gas and drives up utility costs, sometimes significantly. After professional vent cleaning, most Leesburg homeowners notice immediate improvements in drying times, with loads that previously required multiple cycles now drying completely in one normal cycle.
For seasonal residents concerned about utility bills during your Florida stay or property managers trying to control operating costs, efficient dryer operation makes a measurable difference.
When dryers operate with restricted airflow from clogged vents, their internal components work under excessive strain. Heating elements burn out prematurely. Thermal fuses fail. Motors, thermostats, and other parts wear out faster than they should. These failures lead to expensive repair bills or the need for early appliance replacement.
Regular professional vent cleaning reduces this strain and helps dryers last for their intended lifespan, often 10-15 years with proper maintenance. This is particularly valuable for vacation homes where you want reliable appliances that require minimal attention.
A properly vented dryer exhausts moisture, lint particles, and odors outside your home. When vents are clogged or disconnected, these contaminants can back up into living spaces or accumulate in attics and wall cavities. This affects indoor air quality and can contribute to musty odors, respiratory irritation, or even mold growth in Florida’s humid climate.

Nothing means more to us than happy homeowners. Here’s what your neighbors are saying about their Lint Dragon Dryer Vent Cleaning experience:
Most Leesburg homeowners should schedule professional dryer vent cleaning annually. However, properties with certain factors may need more frequent service including waterfront homes with higher humidity exposure, seasonal homes before occupancy periods, homes with longer vent runs or multiple bends, and properties with heavy dryer usage or large families. If you notice warning signs like longer drying times, excess heat, or burning smells, schedule cleaning immediately regardless of when you last had service.
Seasonal homes still need regular dryer vent maintenance. We recommend scheduling cleaning either before you arrive for the season or early during your stay. This ensures any issues that developed during your absence, such as pest intrusion or moisture accumulation, are addressed before you begin regular dryer use. We’re happy to coordinate service timing with your seasonal schedule.
