Gas Dryer Disconnect & Reconnect
Pulling and re-seating a gas dryer so the vent work behind it can happen.
Learn moreThe lint screen catches most of it. The rest drops past the filter into the trap housing, the blower wheel, and the internal ducting between drum and exhaust, where it builds in a place no owner ever looks. Enough of it and the dryer runs hot, cycles long, and holds a fuel load right beside a heating element. We open the cabinet, vacuum and brush the trap chamber and blower housing, clear the internal duct back to the exhaust connection, and wash the screen itself, which loads with an invisible fabric-softener film that blocks air. Then the vent is reconnected and airflow confirmed. On a gas dryer the machine has to be pulled and re-seated by a licensed professional, and that step is quoted separately.

At Prime Dryer Vent Experts, a lint trap & dryer delinting is never guesswork. We scope every job from a camera vent inspection first — mapped route, measured developed length against IRC M1502, and airflow readings — so the work is matched to what your duct actually needs, with the report to prove it. The documented inspection is the record the lint trap & dryer delinting is built on.
Camera vent inspectionWe've worked on 0+ DFW homes over 15+ years. Every job — small vent cleaning or full rebuild — runs the same way: licensed & insured technicians, written quotes, photo reports, warranty in writing.
Licensed & insured technicians only

1-year workmanship warranty
Insurance-grade photo documentation
Family-owned, licensed & insured, IRC M1502–compliant. We're the team you call when you want it done right the first time — no rotating subcontractors, no upsell pressure, no surprises. Same techs, same trucks, same standard.

For most households, once a year is the right rhythm. Push it earlier if the dryer runs daily, the run is long or has several elbows, you have pets, or the machine is gas-fired. The honest answer is measured, not guessed: if airflow at your termination is strong and drying times are normal, you can wait; if either slips, don't. Our inspections give you that measurement so the schedule fits your house instead of a generic calendar.
No. Dryer vents are the entire company — cleaning, inspection, repair, rerouting, rebuilds, and installs of the dryer exhaust system only. That's a deliberate choice, not a limitation: a crew that works on one system all day gets very good at it, and a visit from us never turns into a pitch for six other services. If your problem is outside the dryer vent, we'll say so plainly and you'll owe us nothing for the opinion.
In the Dallas–Fort Worth metro we can typically respond within about two hours for urgent calls — a fully blocked vent, a burning smell, a gas dryer you're worried about. Routine cleanings and inspections are usually scheduled within a couple of days. Outside DFW, in the Austin, San Antonio, and Houston metros, response depends on route density that week; we'll give you a real window when you call rather than a number we can't keep.
Cleanings start at $99, inspections and diagnostics at $89, and repairs are quoted flat after we've scoped the duct. The published prices are true starting points; what moves them is physical: duct length, elbow count, second-story or roof access, and how compacted the lint is. You approve the exact number before any work starts, and the price we quote is the price you pay. No trip-fee surprises, no truck-side renegotiation.
We measure airflow at your outside hood first, so there's a baseline. Then the full run gets cleaned — rotary brush through the duct while a HEPA vacuum holds it under negative pressure, plus the transition hose behind the machine and the termination hood outside. We re-measure airflow, reset your dryer with proper clearance, and hand you a report with the before/after numbers and photos. Most homes take about an hour, and we leave the laundry room cleaner than we found it.
