DRYER VENT REPAIR
A cleaning removes what is inside the vent. A repair fixes the vent itself: a transition hose crushed behind the dryer, a section that has pulled apart in the wall or attic, a joint leaking lint, or a termination that is damaged or does not meet code.
Repairs are priced on the work involved. Before we start, we explain what we found and give you the price for your approval.

CLEANING OR REPAIR
If clothes still take two cycles after a recent vent cleaning, the problem is usually the vent itself. A crushed hose, a section that has come apart or a termination that will not open restricts the airflow just as much as a lint blockage.
We see a lot of vents in Florida homes installed in ways the code does not allow, most often a run that ends in the attic rather than outside. Those need correcting, not cleaning.
WHEN TO CALL
Book a repair visit when a cleaning has not solved the problem, when you can see damage, or when you find signs of lint or moisture where they should not be.
If drying times have not improved after a recent vent cleaning, the run is probably damaged or restricted somewhere a cleaning cannot fix.
Sooner if: Two cycles to dry a load, even with a clean lint screen and hose.
Book a repair visitA crushed hose behind the dryer, a joint that has come apart or a damaged termination should be fixed before the dryer is used heavily.
Sooner if: A flattened hose, a loose connection or a broken flap outside.
Book a repair visitLint or damp on the attic insulation near the run means the vent is leaking or ending in the attic, and hot, damp air is going into the roof space.
Sooner if: Lint on insulation, damp patches or a musty smell in the attic.
Book a repair visitOUR APPROACH
We start by following the vent from the dryer to the termination and checking every accessible section. That tells us whether the problem is lint, damage, a poor installation or a combination.
The repair is then matched to what we found, from replacing a crushed hose to reconnecting a run or replacing a termination, and the vent is cleaned as part of the job.
1. Inspect the vent
We check the transition hose, the wall connection, the accessible run and the termination.
2. Explain what we found
You see the problem, hear what fixing it involves and get the price before we start.
3. Make the repair
Crushed sections are replaced, joints reconnected and sealed, and damaged terminations replaced.
4. Clean the run
The vent is cleaned so the repaired run starts with a clear path.
5. Reconnect the dryer
The dryer is refitted with a proper transition connector, kept as short as possible.
6. Check the airflow
We run the dryer and check the airflow at the termination before we leave.
A COMMON FAULT
One of the most common faults we find is a dryer vent that ends in the attic or a wall cavity instead of outside the home. It can look finished from the laundry room, while it puts hot, damp, lint-laden air straight into the house structure. Correcting it means extending the run to a proper termination.
Tell us what you have noticed when you call, and whether the vent has been cleaned recently.
The technician looks at the whole accessible vent before recommending anything.
You get the repair price and decide whether to go ahead before any work starts.
If a repair needs access through a wall or ceiling, we explain what is involved and how it will be left before we begin.
The repair is made and the vent is cleaned so the whole run is clear.
The dryer is reconnected and the airflow checked at the termination.
We photograph repairs when applicable, so you can see the problem and the finished result.
WHAT IT COSTS
Dryer vent repair is priced on the work involved, because a replaced transition hose is a very different job from a run that has to be re-routed to a new termination.
We inspect the accessible vent first, explain what we found and give you the price before doing any work.
If a cleaning alone will solve the problem, that is what we recommend. Standard dryer vent cleaning is $89 for a single-story home and $149 for a two-story home or a vent reached from the roof.
No repair is started until you have seen what is wrong and agreed the price.
PROPERTY MANAGERS
Rental homes, condos and apartment buildings often have vents that were installed quickly and never checked. We inspect, repair and clean vents across a property and explain what each unit needs before work begins.
Repairs are priced after we have seen the vent, because no two repairs are the same.

WHAT YOUR NEIGHBOURS ARE SAYING
Naitsa DejesusAmazing company all around from the moment I contacted them until the work was done. JJ did a great job and communicated very effectively. His customer service was also amazing. Thank you guys I was impressed at all the stuff that came out from that duct cleaning.
MerilyWe had our dryer vent cleaned by CAD Clean Air Duct Cleaning, and I’m honestly so glad we did. It hadn’t been cleaned in years, definitely not since we moved in a couple of years ago, so it was long overdue. The tech JJ showed up right on time, got to work quickly, and was super respectful of the space. He didn’t waste any time but still made sure to explain what he was doing and why it mattered. You could tell he knew his stuff. The dryer’s working noticeably better now! Clothes dry faster and the airflow is clearly improved. He also gave us a quote for whole-house duct cleaning while he was here, and based on how smooth and efficient this visit was, we’re already planning to book them again. Definitely recommend CAD Clean Air Duct Cleaning if you’re looking for honest, professional service that gets results at an affordable price. Can’t beat that!
Joshua WaltherWe used Mold & Duct Cleaning Experts for mold testing before moving in. My husband had so many questions, David ended up staying way later than he probably should've of. It was much appreciated though because we ended up renting somewhere else. I feel like we dodged a bullet. Thanks David.
Michelle WalshWe've been using Clean Air Duct Cleaning for several years now and they continue to provide outstanding service every time. It's rare to find a company that consistently delivers such professionalism, reliability, and excellent customer care. A special thank you to Amy, who always makes scheduling easy and stress-free. She is friendly, organized, responsive and such a pleasure to work with. Her communication and attention to detail help make the entire process seamless from start to finish. We'd also like to recognize JJ, who performed our most recent service. He was punctual, friendly, professional and took the time to explain the work being performed. He answered any questions we had and it's clear he takes pride in doing the job right and ensuring customer satisfaction. Though we didn't personally communicate with Zarek, who was training under and assisting JJ, it was great to see the teamwork between them and both represented the company exceptionally well. The quality of the work, level of professionalism, and excellent customer service are why we continue to trust Clean Air Duct Cleaning year after year. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable company that truly values its customers. Thank you, Amy, JJ and Zarek for another great experience!
CharlesUpdated, they are working to make it right. If a company is willing to stand behind their work they are ok in my book. I paid 450$ to this company to clean my air ducts expecting them to actually clean them. I have had some asthma issues and looked in our air ducts again and look what I found. They later called me to explain why it was there I am notadvocating for the lack of information initially however if they make it right I’m good.
Danielle HugginsThe guys were so kind and thorough. They walked me through every step, showed me everything they were doing and explained everything thoroughly so I knew what was being done and why. The outcome was amazing, they took before and after pictures and videos and they did an amazing job. Thank you again and highly recommend, their price was unbeatable.
Karen Mahoneythe techs were so friendly from the get go! were very informative about what they were doing and what they were finding. vacuumed all our floors before they left! we felt like we were getting a housecleaning as well! would definitely recommend and use again!
MARIA SAN MARTINI make an appointment to have my air duct cleaned today. J.J and Roy came and inspected my air ducts and explained and showed me that my air ducts where clean and that all the black that I seeing is due to sooot from the candle burning and that I didn't need that service. I was really shook and impressed for their honesty. Most of the companies are only looking for the money and for charging you, even if you don't need it. They were nice, professionals and gave me some advise for future care of my air conditioning unit. I will definitely will be recommending this company to my friends. It is one in a million you can found a company that is honest and give you good service. Thanks guys!!!
HOMEOWNER GUIDE
Most dryer vent problems are lint. The ones that are not tend to come back after every cleaning, and those are the ones worth understanding before you pay for anything.
Cleaning removes lint and obstructions from a vent that is sound. Sealing closes leaking joints so lint and moisture stay inside the duct. Replacement installs new sections where the existing ones are crushed, damaged or cannot be made compliant.
Which you need depends on the condition of the vent, which is why we inspect before recommending anything.
The hose behind the dryer gets pushed against the wall every time the dryer is moved, and thin foil or plastic hoses crush easily. A crushed hose restricts the airflow at the very start of the run.
A proper transition connector, kept short and not crushed, is one of the simplest fixes we make.
Dryer exhausts must end outside the home, not in the attic, a crawl space or a wall cavity, and the termination should have a backdraft damper rather than a screen.
We repair vents with those requirements in mind and tell you if part of an existing installation does not meet them.
Often, yes. Many repairs are made at the dryer, in the attic or at the termination without opening anything.
Where a failed section can only be reached through a wall or ceiling, we explain what is involved before starting so there are no surprises.
A replaced hose or reconnected joint is usually part of a single short visit. Re-routing a run or replacing a termination takes longer.
We give you an idea of timing when we explain the repair and its price.
These help us understand whether you need a repair or a cleaning.
We repair and clean dryer vents for homes and rental properties across Hernando, Pasco, Citrus, Sumter, Marion and Hillsborough counties. If your ductwork needs attention too, see air duct cleaning and air duct sealing.
