What the visit covers

Both ends open. Every foot in between cleaned.

Plenty of companies sell a 15-minute visit with a shop vac at the opening. This is a deep clean of the entire duct, with the equipment to reach the end of it.

Where the lint actually is

Three places it builds up. We clean all three.

Lint does not sit at the opening. It packs along the whole run, worst at the bends and the outside termination, exactly where a vacuum at one end cannot reach.

The connection and wall port

The dryer comes out, the transition duct comes off, and the port into the wall is cleared. The joint is checked for gaps and resealed.

The duct itself

Rotary rods brush the full length, around every bend, while the HEPA vacuum pulls the lint out. The camera shows bare metal before we call it done.

The exterior hood

The hood comes off the wall and the termination is cleared. Then the flap is tested so it opens under airflow and closes when the dryer stops.

What every job includes

The 9-point safety check.

Every clean is the same thorough job, start to finish. Here is exactly what gets checked, and written up in your report.

  1. Full duct run cleaned

    The entire vent line, from the dryer connection to the exterior wall.

  2. Blockages removed

    Lint buildup and obstructions that restrict airflow, cleared out.

  3. Dryer connection resecured

    We check the dryer-to-duct joint for gaps and re-seal it.

  4. Airflow verified, before and after

    We measure airflow at the exterior vent both times, so you see the difference.

  5. Exterior vent hood cleared

    The flap opens and closes freely, debris and any nesting removed.

  6. Duct material assessed

    We flag any flammable foil or plastic duct as a fire-safety note.

  7. Lint trap housing cleaned

    The screen plus the housing it sits in, where fine lint packs first.

  8. Behind-dryer area cleaned

    Loose lint from behind and around the dryer, tidied up.

  9. Final test run

    We run a test cycle and confirm proper draw and exhaust before we finish.

Every job gets a full report.

The nine checks ticked off, airflow measured before and after, before-and-after photos, and notes from Brent.

Page one of a NestFlo service report: client and appointment details, the nine-point safety inspection all ticked off, and airflow at the exterior vent measured at 56.24 CFM before and 159.3 CFM after. Page two: before and after photographs of the vent duct run, the exterior vent hood and the area below the lint trap, followed by the technician's written notes.
Is it time?

Six signs your vent is choking.

Any one of these usually means airflow is struggling and lint is building up where you cannot see it. Lint is highly flammable, and a blocked vent is one of the most common causes of dryer fires.

  • Clothes need a second cycle to dry
  • The dryer or the laundry room runs hot
  • A burning or musty smell while drying
  • Lint collecting at the door seal or behind the machine
  • The outside flap barely opens while the dryer runs
  • More than a year since the last cleaning

The free test. Run the dryer and watch the outside flap. It should swing wide open. If it barely trembles, the run is choking. And if there is a screen or cage over the vent, read why that makes it worse.

Simple, flat pricing

One clear price, agreed before we start.

Start with the vent cleaning, or have the whole laundry room looked after in the same visit. If the hood on your outside wall is worn out, we can fit a new one while we are there.

Reviews

What neighbours are saying.

Our most recent Google reviews. NestFlo sits at 5.0 stars.

  • I was housesitting for my daughter when the dryer I was using sent out a warning message on the monitor. Not wanting to take a chance of a major mishap and fire I contacted Brent at NestFlo via text. He responded in a timely manner and we were able to set up an appointment for Monday. Brent showed up in time, presented himself in a professional manner and was wonderful dealing with the over exuberant family dog. Brent explained what he was doing, cleaned the vent in time and when he left I felt very comfortable finishing off the laundry. I give Brent and NestFlo 5 stars because the overall experience was excellent.

  • I called NestFlo to clean my dryer vent as I was getting an error on the dryer about the filter needing cleaning. Brent arrived on time, was extremely professional and answered any questions/concerns that I had. He completed the work in the time he estimated. He provided a detailed report of the work done and left the whole area very clean. I would highly recommend NestFlo for a professional, courteous and efficient service. Will not hesitate to call them again to provide this service.

  • The entire process of having Nest Flow come to our home to clean our dryer vent and investigate a blockage alert was seamless and easy from start to finish. Brent arrived right on time and was incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain what was going on with our system in a way that was easy to understand, and we really appreciated his honesty and straightforward recommendations. It was a great experience overall, and I would definitely recommend Nest Flow to anyone needing dryer vent cleaning or maintenance. We will use him again for the cleaning of our dryer vent.

  • Highly recommend Nestflo. Brent came to our house to clean out our dryer vent and did an excellent job. He was on time, professional, knowledgeable, and left everything spotless when he was finished. Super happy with the service and we’ll definitely be having Brent back once a year to keep everything clean and - most importantly - safe.

    R Ryan FitzgibbonGoogle review
  • Excellent service from start to finish, Brent even fixed a loose connection between the hose and outside vent free of charge. I would highly recommend Nestflo for anyone needing (once a year is recommended) dryer vent cleaning.

Good to know

Dryer vent questions, answered.

Short answers to what homeowners ask before a visit. Anything else, call or text Brent.

How much does a dryer vent cleaning cost?add

Your first cleaning is $179, and a standard dryer vent cleaning is $199 flat after that. The price is agreed before we start, so there's no meter running and no upsell on the day. Homes with very long ducts or roof exits may carry a small surcharge, which we always confirm before your visit.

How do you actually clean the vent?add

Both ends open. The dryer comes out on an air sled, the hood comes off the outside wall, and a rotary rod system with a counter-rotating scrub head brushes the full run, up to 100 feet and around bends. A HEPA-filtered vacuum captures the lint, compressed air finishes, and a camera confirms the duct is clear before everything is reconnected and tested.

How long does a visit take?add

Most homes take 45 minutes to an hour. Long duct runs, roof exits or heavy buildup can take a little longer, and we tell you that up front when we confirm your time.

Do I need to be home for it?add

Someone needs to let us in and show us where the dryer and the outside vent are, but you don't need to hover. Plenty of customers carry on with their day while we work, and the photo report shows you everything afterwards.

How often should it be cleaned?add

Once a year for most households, and the manufacturers agree: Whirlpool says every one to two years, Samsung says once or twice a year. Daily loads, pets, or a long run with bends deserve every six to eight months, which is what the NestFlo Plan takes care of. Don't wait for the vent warning light either. On dryers that have one, it only trips at roughly 60 percent blocked.

My run is long, exits the roof, or I'm in a condo. Can you clean it?add

Usually, yes, and long runs are where the gear matters. The building codes cap a standard run at 35 feet, and every 90-degree elbow counts as five more, so long runs depend on being kept spotless. Our rods reach up to 100 feet and clean around bends. Roof exits need extra equipment and care, so they can carry a small surcharge, confirmed before any work starts. If a run needs more than a cleaning, we'll say so.

Does every dryer need this?add

Every vented dryer, gas or electric. Gas models also rely on the duct to carry combustion byproducts outside, so those matter twice. The exception is heat-pump and condensing dryers, which are ventless, so there's nothing to clean, and we'll tell you that on the phone rather than charging you to find out.

What areas do you serve?add

Burlington, Hamilton, Oakville, Mississauga, Milton, Waterdown, Georgetown and Stoney Creek. Just outside those? Ask anyway. If we can reach you, we'll say so honestly.

Add-ons

Bundle any of these into the same visit.

Optional extras that make sense while we are already at your machines. Mention them when you request your visit and we fold them into one flat price.

The hood replacement covers a straightforward swap of a wall-mounted hood that is safely reachable. Brent confirms the fit before any work starts. Cutting a new opening, rerouting duct, roof-mounted exits, damage hidden behind the wall and repairs to siding or masonry are not part of it, and if we find any of those we stop and show you rather than improvise.
