Air Duct, Dryer Vent & Chimney Cleaning in Durham

Every service is performed by trained technicians using professional-grade equipment. We treat your home like our own.

Did you know? The NFPA recommends chimneys be swept at least once per year — even if you only burn occasionally.

Chimney Sweep

When you burn wood, soot and creosote build up inside the flue. Creosote starts as a dusty coating but can turn into a thick, tar-like substance that's highly flammable. If it builds up enough, it can ignite and cause a chimney fire. We use rotary brushes and industrial vacuums to clean the entire flue from the firebox to the cap. Most customers get swept once a year before burning season starts.

Common Questions

Did you know? The EPA estimates indoor air can be 2–5x more polluted than outdoor air — and dirty ducts are a major contributor.

Air Duct Cleaning

If you're noticing more dust around your vents, rooms feeling stuffy, or allergy symptoms acting up, your ducts might be the culprit. The air in your home cycles through the ductwork 5–7 times a day, picking up dust, pet hair, pollen, and debris along the way. In older Durham homes, we often find ducts that haven't been cleaned in 8–10 years. We use truck-mounted vacuums and rotating brushes to clear out the buildup so your system can breathe properly again.

All supply and return duct lines
Main trunk line and air handler cleaning
Vent cover removal, wash, and reinstallation
Blower motor and evaporator coil inspection
Before-and-after photo documentation

Significantly reduces dust, allergens, and pet dander

Common Questions

Did you know? If your clothes are taking more than one cycle to dry, your dryer vent is likely clogged with lint.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

If your clothes are taking two or more cycles to dry, that's usually a sign of a clogged vent. Lint builds up in the vent line with every load, restricting airflow and making your dryer work harder. This not only wastes energy and wears out the appliance faster, but it's also the leading cause of dryer fires. We clean the entire vent line from the dryer to the outside cap, so your clothes dry faster and you don't have to worry about heat buildup.

What's Included

Full vent line cleaning (dryer to exterior)
Lint trap housing and interior cleaning
Exterior exhaust cap inspection and clearance
Airflow measurement before and after service
Vent connection and hose inspection

Benefits

Dramatically reduces house fire risk
Clothes dry faster — fewer cycles needed
Extends the life of your dryer by years
Lowers monthly energy costs

Common Questions

Did you know? Many homeowners insurance policies require a chimney inspection — especially after purchasing a home with a fireplace.

Chimney Inspection

If you've just moved into a home with a fireplace, or haven't used yours in a few years, it's worth getting an inspection before lighting up. We check all accessible parts of the chimney — the flue liner, damper, cap, crown, and masonry — looking for damage, blockages, or safety issues. You'll get a clear report and we'll explain what we find in plain terms. No pressure, just honest information about what needs attention.
