Local notes

Dryer vents in Mountain View homes

Mountain View ranch homes have a short garage or side-wall run. The rental complexes built since 2000 put a stackable in a closet with a run through the ceiling to a roof cap or a shared shaft, and those are where dryers take two cycles. Eichlers with flat roofs usually vent straight up through the roof in a short run.

Lint that gets past the screen collects in the duct behind the dryer and in every elbow between there and the outside wall. Once the run narrows, the dryer runs hotter and longer. We disconnect the dryer, run a rotary brush the whole length while the vacuum pulls, clear the exterior hood, then reconnect and confirm air is moving out the termination.

Air and dust in Mountain View

Mountain View sits between the bay and the foothills, and the North Bayshore and Shoreline neighborhoods get the baylands dust in late summer. The 2020 fire season put the city in the unhealthy range for weeks, and homes that ran their systems pulled ash into the returns. Spring pollen is mostly street trees and grass.

Getting to you

FAQ

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mountain View: questions

Do you clean dryer vents in Mountain View apartment buildings?

Yes. We need access to the exterior termination, which in a multi-story building may be on the roof. We coordinate with the property manager when that is the case.

Why does my Mountain View townhome dryer take two cycles?

Almost always the run. Stackable closets in the newer townhomes vent 25 to 40 feet through elbows to a roof cap, and lint packs into the elbows. A $179 cleaning usually restores single-cycle drying.

Can you clean a dryer vent through an Eichler flat roof?

Yes. Flat roofs are easy to walk. We clear the roof cap and brush the run from both ends. $129.

How long does dryer vent cleaning take?

About 45 to 75 minutes. Short wall runs are done in under an hour. Long attic runs to the roof, or stackable units in tight closets, take closer to 90 minutes.

How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?

Once a year for a family that runs the dryer most days, every two years for light use. Long runs with several elbows and any home with a roof termination should stay on the yearly schedule.

Why does a stackable unit cost more?

Stackables sit in closets with a few inches of clearance. Pulling the unit out safely, reaching the transition duct, and reseating it takes about twice the handling time of a side-by-side, so we charge $179 instead of $129.

Can a clogged dryer vent cause a fire?

Yes. Lint is flammable and the heating element is right next to where it collects. Dryer fires are a well-documented cause of house fires, and a blocked vent is the usual reason. Cleaning the run removes the fuel.
