Every job gets a written price before we touch a single vent, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (762) 533-6494 any time, day or night, and a live person answers.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service
Vent Cleaning is the removal of built-up lint, dust, and debris from the full length of the dryer exhaust duct, from the back of the machine to the exterior vent cap. You need this service every 12 months for a household that runs the dryer regularly, or twice a year if you have a long vent run, multiple pets, or a gas dryer. Our technicians use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge lint at the duct wall, then run Nikro negative-pressure units to pull everything out without blowing it into your laundry room. Most single-family homes in Marietta run between $89 and $189, and the written quote you receive before work starts is the exact amount on the invoice.
Full-Length Duct Cleaning
We clean the entire run, not just the first few feet behind the dryer. Many Marietta homes have vents that travel through walls or crawl spaces, and those hidden sections are where lint packs tight. The brush reaches the full distance, and the negative-pressure extraction keeps the loosened material contained.
Lint Trap Bypass Cleaning
There’s a section of duct right past the lint screen that traps fibers even when you clean the trap after every load. Our equipment removes that bypass buildup so airflow returns to what the vent was designed to move.
Styles & brands we work with
Dryer Vent Installation
Dryer Vent Installation means replacing an old, damaged, or improperly routed vent run with new rigid metal ducting that meets current building code for Marietta homes. You need this when your existing vent is the white flexible foil or plastic type, which sags, traps lint at every corrugation, and can’t be fully cleaned. We install smooth-walled rigid aluminum duct that resists lint buildup and lets us clean the line thoroughly in future visits. Installation pricing depends on the duct run length and access points, and your written quote covers the complete job before we begin.
Code-Compliant Replacement
Marietta’s building requirements call for rigid metal duct for dryer exhaust, never the flexible plastic ribbon type. We route the new duct with the shortest possible run and the fewest elbows, because every bend cuts airflow and catches lint.
Exterior Vent Cap Upgrade
The cap on the outside of your house matters more than most homeowners realize. We replace broken or restrictive caps with models that open fully when the dryer runs and seal tightly when it’s off, keeping birds, rodents, and Georgia humidity out of the duct.
Dryer Vent Repair
Dryer Vent Repair addresses ducts that are disconnected, crushed, leaking, or blowing warm moist air into your attic or wall cavity instead of outside. You need a repair call when you find lint collecting behind the dryer, when the vent cap outside doesn’t open during a cycle, or when a previous cleaning left the duct damaged. Our technicians assess the full run, identify the failure point, and repair or replace the affected section with rigid metal components. Repair pricing follows the same written-quote rule as our other services, and the cost depends on how much of the run needs replacement.
Disconnected Duct Rejoining
A duct that separates at a joint pumps hot, humid air into your walls or attic, which feeds mold and wastes your dryer’s heat. We reconnect sections with proper mechanical fasteners and foil tape rated for dryer exhaust, not duct tape.
Crushed or Kinked Run Replacement
When a dryer gets shoved back against the wall, the flexible transition hose behind it kinks and chokes airflow. We replace that section with rigid duct and give the machine proper clearance so the problem doesn’t return.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Company is only as good as what it puts in writing. Kestrel Air Duct Marietta has operated since 2004 under the Kingswell Guarantee, which means a written price before work starts, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee on every single job. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they use professional-grade Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies equipment, not a box-store shop vac. Calls reach a live person 24/7, and when you book through Dale Whitmore’s team, you’re not rolling dice on who shows up.
The Kingswell Way on Every Visit
Our technicians follow a five-point code on every call: say the price, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails. That code is what separates a real company from a guy with a truck and a coupon.
Written Pricing, No Doorstep Revisions
The price you approve over the phone is the price on the invoice. We don’t run a low teaser rate and then discover a reason to charge more once the technician is standing in your laundry room.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Dryer Vent Inspection is a walk-through evaluation of the entire exhaust path to identify lint buildup, airflow restriction, improper materials, or ventilation problems before they become a clog or a fire hazard. You need an inspection when you buy a home in Marietta, when your dryer’s performance drops, or when it’s been more than two years since anyone looked at the vent. We use visual assessment plus airflow testing to measure how well the duct moves air, then give you an honest report on what needs addressing now and what can wait. Inspections are included at no charge whenever you book a cleaning.
Airflow Measurement
We don’t guess at whether a vent is restricted. We measure the actual airflow coming out of the duct and compare it to what the dryer’s specifications call for, then show you the numbers.
Material and Routing Assessment
If your duct is the wrong material, has too many bends, or terminates somewhere it shouldn’t, we flag it. You’ll know whether the current setup meets code and what a correction would cost.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning handles the heavier lint loads and longer duct runs found in multi-unit buildings, laundromats, salons, and fitness centers in and around Marietta. These systems need more frequent cleaning, often quarterly, because the dryers run constantly and the ducts collect lint at a much faster rate. We use the same professional-grade equipment on commercial jobs, scaled to the larger duct diameters and extended runs. Pricing depends on the number of dryers, duct length, and rooftop or wall access points, and we provide a written quote for the full building before any work begins.
Multi-Unit and Rooftop Systems
Long vertical runs and rooftop terminations need different tools than a single-family home. Our technicians adjust their approach per building, using extended rotary brush systems and powerful negative-pressure extraction to clear runs other companies skip.
Scheduled Maintenance Programs
For property managers and business owners, we set up recurring cleaning intervals matched to the building’s dryer volume. You get a written record of each service, which matters for insurance documentation and fire code compliance.
Brands We Service
We service every major dryer brand in the Marietta market, including Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, and Electrolux. The vent cleaning process is the same regardless of make, but we understand how each brand’s airflow specifications and lint trap geometry affect where buildup tends to collect. That means we know to check the internal lint trap bypass on an LG or the moisture sensor chamber on a Samsung, because different machines hide lint in different spots.
We also see Kenmore, Speed Queen, Bosch, and Amana units regularly, and we stock the common transition-duct sizes and vent caps to fit any of them. Whether you have a 20-year-old Maytag or a brand-new LG, the service is the same: clean the full duct run, verify airflow, and leave the written guarantee. If you have a brand we haven’t listed, we can still help.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Clothes take two or three cycles to dry. This is the most common call we get in Marietta. A dryer that can’t finish a load in one cycle isn’t broken; it’s starved for airflow because the vent is packed with lint somewhere along the run.
- Laundry room gets hot and humid during a cycle. Heat and moisture should exit through the vent, not leak into your home. If the room steams up, the duct may be partially clogged, disconnected, or venting into the wall space.
- You can’t remember the last time the vent was cleaned. If it’s been more than a year, schedule a cleaning. Lint builds up even with a clean trap, and the buildup accelerates over time as the airflow restriction compounds.
- The exterior vent cap doesn’t open when the dryer runs. Go outside and look. If the flap stays shut during a cycle, the airflow is too weak to push it open. That’s a clear sign the duct is restricted.
- You smell a burning or musty odor while the dryer runs. Hot lint trapped against the heating element or duct wall can smolder, and musty smells indicate moisture is stuck in the duct. Both need a professional look right away.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Written quote and arrival window. When you call (762) 533-6494, a live person answers and schedules your arrival window. The price is quoted in writing before we come out, so you know the full cost of the job before a technician leaves our shop.
- 2
On-site inspection and airflow baseline. Our technician checks the full vent run, measures the airflow at the exterior cap, and confirms the duct path. If anything looks out of the ordinary, we show you before we touch it.
- 3
Rotary brush agitation. We send a Rotobrush system down the full length of the duct, spinning at the walls to break loose lint that’s baked onto the metal surface. This is the step a shop vac can’t replicate.
- 4
Negative-pressure extraction and HEPA filtration. As the brush dislodges debris, a Nikro negative-pressure unit pulls it out of the duct and traps it in a sealed containment system with Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration. Nothing blows into your laundry room.
- 5
Verification walk-through and written guarantee. We test the airflow again, show you the before-and-after numbers, and walk the job with you. Then we hand you the written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything falls short within a year, we return and make it right at no charge.
How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost in Marietta?
A typical dryer vent cleaning in Marietta runs between $89 and $189 for a standard single-family home with an accessible vent run under 15 feet; see our Dryer Vent Cleaning cost guide for details. Townhomes and condos in complexes like those near Kennesaw Mountain or along Powder Springs Road usually fall in the same range, since the duct runs are comparable. Longer ducts, rooftop terminations, or vents that haven’t been cleaned in many years can push the price toward the upper end of the range, and we’ll tell you the exact number before we start. What affects the price most is duct length and access difficulty, not the amount of lint inside. You avoid overpaying by getting a written quote before the work begins and by choosing a company that doesn’t charge per vent or per foot. Our free estimate includes the full cleaning, the airflow test, and the written guarantee. Call (762) 533-6494 for your exact quote.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Marietta
Dryer vent cleaning is the process of removing built-up lint, dust, and debris from the entire exhaust duct that runs from your dryer to the outside of your home. A trained technician uses a rotary brush to dislodge debris from the duct walls and a negative-pressure vacuum system to pull it all out. The result is restored airflow, which shortens drying times and reduces the load on your dryer’s heating element. In Marietta homes, we recommend this once a year for most families.
Most residential dryer vent cleanings in Marietta take between 45 minutes and an hour from arrival to cleanup. If the vent is unusually long, difficult to access, or heavily clogged, it can take up to 90 minutes. We always quote the price before we start, and the time estimate comes with the quote so you know what to expect.
Expect to pay between $89 and $189 for a standard single-family home in Marietta with a typical vent run. The final quote depends on duct length, access difficulty, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. We provide the written price before we begin, and that’s the exact amount on your invoice. Call (762) 533-6494 for a free estimate specific to your home.
Yes, we clean dryer vents for every major brand, including Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Electrolux, Kenmore, Speed Queen, Bosch, and Amana. The cleaning process works the same regardless of the machine, since the issue is lint in the duct, not the dryer itself. We do understand how each brand’s airflow design affects where lint collects, and we check those spots specifically.
We do our best to accommodate urgent calls, and we answer the phone with a live person 24/7. If your vent is completely blocked and you can’t use your dryer at all, call (762) 533-6494 and we’ll get you on the schedule as quickly as our calendar allows. We don’t promise a specific emergency dispatch time, but we won’t leave you waiting on a voicemail queue.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the quality of our work for a full year after the service date. If the vent clogs again or the cleaning didn’t hold up within that period, we return and clean it again at no charge. It’s in writing on every job, and invoking it is simple: call us and tell us the vent failed. We show up and make it right.
Clear a path to the dryer and, if possible, move anything stored on top of or directly beside the machine. We’ll need to pull the dryer away from the wall to access the duct connection. Beyond that, you don’t need to do anything. We bring all the equipment, and we’ll leave the laundry room cleaner than we found it.
