Trusted Dryer Vent Cleaning for Wichita Falls Homeowners
Lint collects in a dryer duct the way dust collects on a ceiling fan: slowly, quietly, and out of sight until something stops working. A clogged vent makes your dryer run hot and long, wastes energy, and puts your home at real fire risk – the kind that starts inside the wall where you can’t see it. Our technicians have up to 15 years of experience clearing dryer vents across Wichita Falls, from the short duct runs near downtown to the longer rooftop terminations on newer homes. We carry professional-grade equipment and treat every job like the fire-safety job it is, because that’s the Lionheart standard. We answer 24/7 – call (855) 705-9859 to book your cleaning.
What Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Service Includes
Every job starts with knowing what we’re dealing with: duct material, length, number of bends, and where the vent exits. That tells us what needs cleaning and how to get it done without damaging anything.
Full Vent System Cleaning
This is the complete job – the full duct run from the dryer connection to the exterior hood or cap. We clear lint from the entire length, including the bends and elbows where it accumulates thickest. You need this when your dryer takes longer than it used to or hasn’t been professionally cleaned in a few years.
Lint Removal
Lint is what feeds a dryer vent fire, and it builds up in layers along the duct walls until airflow drops. We remove it thoroughly along the whole run, not just at the ends. If you’ve noticed lint collecting around the dryer or the outside vent, it’s time.
Lint Screen & Trap Cleaning
Your lint screen catches what it can, but a clogged screen from fabric softener residue lets smaller particles pass into the duct. We clean the screen housing and check the trap assembly for buildup and blockages. This is the simplest preventive step and often the most overlooked.
Rooftop Vent Cleaning
Some Wichita Falls homes vent the dryer through the roof, and those runs are longer and harder to reach. We clear the duct from the dryer connection up to the rooftop termination, checking the cap for restricted airflow. Longer runs collect more lint, so they need attention more often.
Bird Nest & Debris Removal
An exterior hood or open cap is an invitation for birds looking for a nesting spot. Nests, leaves, and debris block the vent and create a serious hazard if hot air can’t escape. We remove the blockage and check the hood is functioning as it should.
Booster Fan Cleaning
Some duct runs have a booster fan to help move air, and lint accumulates on the blades and housing over time. A dirty booster fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it so airflow stays at the level it’s meant to be.
Signs You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning Right Now
Your dryer can’t send a warning before lint becomes dangerous, but the signs are there if you know what to look for. Here are five worth acting on.
- Clothes take longer than one cycle to dry. When a normal load needs extra time, restricted airflow is usually the reason. The dryer works harder, which means more heat in the duct.
- The dryer feels hot to the touch. A well-vented dryer stays warm but not hot on the outside. If the body or the top feels unusually hot, the vent is likely restricted.
- Lint appears around the outside vent. Lint escaping out the exterior hood instead of moving through means the duct is packed. It’s a sign the blockage is significant.
- You notice a musty or burning smell. A musty smell points to trapped moisture; a burning smell is more serious. If you smell burning, stop the dryer and call for a cleaning.
- It’s been a year or more since a cleaning. Even if nothing seems wrong, annual cleaning is the standard for most households. Lint builds up whether you notice it or not.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process – Step by Step
Knowing exactly what we find and what we do is how you get a job done right. Here’s how a typical cleaning goes.
- 1
Disconnect and inspect. We disconnect the dryer, inspect the connection, and assess duct material, length, and routing. Some flexible duct is unsafe and we’ll tell you if we find it.
- 2
Run the cleaning tool through the full duct. We use rotary and rod tools to clear the entire run, paying particular attention to bends, elbows, and transition points where lint collects.
- 3
Clean the exterior hood or cap. We clear and inspect the termination for nests, blockages, or a damaged flap. The vent can’t flow if the exit is restricted.
- 4
Clean the booster fan if one is present. We check fan operation and clean the blades and housing. It should be running smoothly when we’re done.
- 5
Reconnect and test airflow. We reconnect the dryer, run it, and confirm airflow at the exterior is strong. You’ll know the job is done because you can see and feel it.
How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost in Wichita Falls?
A typical dryer vent cleaning in Wichita Falls runs $95 – $175 for a standard single-family duct run. Longer runs, rooftop terminations, and ducts with heavy lint or debris buildup tend to land at the higher end of that range. Booster fan cleaning and separate lint trap work may add to the total depending on what we find.

| Long-run or rooftop vent cleaning | $150 – $250 |
| Bird nest and debris removal | $75 – $150 |

What affects the price: duct length, number of bends, whether it’s a rooftop run, how much lint has accumulated, and whether a booster fan or nest removal is needed. To avoid overpaying, always get a written estimate before work begins and ask what’s included. Our estimate is free and includes a look at the full system. The written estimate sets the final price – no surprises.
