Trusted Dryer Vent Cleaning for Brooklyn Homeowners
Dryer vent cleaning in Brooklyn typically costs between $149 and $349 for a standard single-family home, and the work usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. That’s the honest range we quote before we ever send a truck to your block in Park Slope, Bay Ridge, or Canarsie. A clogged dryer vent isn’t just an appliance annoyance. It forces your dryer to work harder, which means longer cycles, higher Con Edison bills, and a real fire risk from lint that builds up where you can’t see it. Since 2005, Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning has cleaned thousands of dryer vents across Brooklyn’s brownstones, co-ops, and six-story walk-ups. Paul Adeyemi and our team treat every home like it has a sleeping toddler in the next room, because half the time, it does. Call (607) 536-9605 and we’ll give you a written price before anyone touches your dryer.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service at Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning is a full-system vent cleaning of the duct that runs from your dryer to the outside vent, using professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment rated for Brooklyn’s older building stock. We don’t just vacuum the lint trap. We clean the entire run, including the exterior vent cap, which is where most Brooklyn blockages actually start. A standard residential cleaning in Brooklyn runs $149 to $349 depending on the length of the vent run and how long it’s been since the last cleaning.
What Gets Cleaned
We remove lint from the full interior of the duct, not just the first few feet where a homeowner can reach. That includes the transition hose behind the dryer, the wall duct, and the outside vent cover. The exterior cap is often welded shut with lint and New York grime on buildings more than 40 years old.
When You Need It
If clothes are taking longer than 50 minutes to dry or the outside flap doesn’t open while the dryer runs, you’re past due. Most two-child Brooklyn households with regular laundry should plan on a cleaning every 12 to 18 months. We’ll tell you honestly if your vent can go longer.
Styles & brands we work with
Dryer Vent Installation
Dryer Vent Installation covers running a new vent line where an old one is collapsed, rusted through, or was never properly installed to begin with. Many prewar Brooklyn buildings have vents that were retrofitted badly decades ago, with too many bends, the wrong material, or a vent cap in a spot that lets rain and pigeons in. A new installation in a typical Brooklyn apartment or rowhouse runs $275 to $650 depending on the length of the run and wall access.
Installing the Right Material
We use rigid metal ducting, not flexible foil or plastic. Flexible ducting catches lint at every ridge and is against code for enclosed runs in New York. Rigid metal lets air move faster and gives lint nowhere to grab.
When Replacement Beats Repair
If your vent is more than 20 years old, shows rust at the seams, or has a sag in the middle, a new install often costs about the same as repeated repairs and gives you a clean 10-to-15-year solution. Paul Adeyemi will show you photos of the old line before we replace it, so the decision is yours with the facts in front of you.
Dryer Vent Repair
Dryer Vent Repair is the fix for a vent that has separated at a joint, crushed behind the dryer, or lost its exterior flap to a bad winter storm off the East River. Repairs in Brooklyn run $120 to $280 for most fixes, including reconnecting separated sections, replacing damaged clamps, and swapping out broken vent caps. We carry common parts in the truck so most repairs are done in one visit.
Common Repairs We Handle
The two we see most in Brooklyn are disconnected vent pipes behind the dryer, often knocked loose when someone pulls the machine out to retrieve a sock, and exterior caps with broken louvers. A missing exterior flap lets birds and cold air in, and it’s a remarkably fast job to fix when the parts are on hand.
When to Repair Instead of Replace
A single crushed section in an otherwise sound vent line is almost always worth repairing. We’ll tell you straight if the rest of the line has enough life in it, or whether one more repair is money that should go toward a new run. Either way, you’ll get a written price before we start, with no surprise add-ons at the end.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company isn’t a role you should hand to just anyone with a shop vac. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning has been cleaning dryer vents in Brooklyn since 2005, with background-checked, uniformed technicians who work to the Cedarwell Care Promise on every visit. We show up with shoe covers and drop cloths, use professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and hand you a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Most Brooklyn homes run $149 to $349 for a full cleaning.
Why Families Choose Morton’s
Every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the vent isn’t right a week or a month later, we make it right, no invoice. That’s stamped on every job, not offered only when you ask. Families with kids and pets notice the difference in how we move through the home: quiet tools during nap hours and pet-safe practices throughout.
Written Price Before Work Starts
We give you the number before anyone opens a toolbox. The price we quote is the price on the invoice, and you’ll see it in writing before the first shoe cover goes on. No per-vent upcharges, no bait-and-switch coupon games. That’s the Cedarwell Care Promise working the way it should.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Dryer Vent Inspection is a camera and airflow check of the full vent line to find hidden lint buildup, crushed sections, and fire-risk blockages before they become expensive problems. A standalone inspection in Brooklyn runs $99, and that fee is credited toward the cleaning if you book both on the same visit. If you’re buying a home or co-op in Brooklyn, a vent inspection should be on your checklist next to the termite report.
What We Look For
We run a camera through the entire vent run and measure airflow at the outside cap. That catches the problems you cannot see from the laundry room: a lint plug 20 feet down the line, a vent that dead-ends into a wall cavity, or a flap that hasn’t opened in years. You get photos of whatever we find, so there’s no trust-me moment.
Home Buyers and Co-op Boards
Brooklyn co-op and condo boards increasingly ask for vent inspections before a closing or renovation. We provide a dated inspection report with photos that boards accept. Paul Adeyemi has walked dozens of buyers through what a vent report means before they sign.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brooklyn covers laundromats, building laundry rooms, daycares, salons, restaurants, and multi-unit residential buildings where dryers run all day long. Commercial pricing depends on the number of dryers, the length of the vent runs, and your cleaning schedule. We’ll give you a written quote before any work starts, and we’ll never surprise you with an invoice that doesn’t match it.
Laundromats and Apartment Buildings
Heavy-use commercial dryers can build a dangerous level of lint in a matter of months, not years. We work with building supers and laundromat owners across Brooklyn on 3-to-6-month cleaning schedules. Our Abatement Technologies and Guardsman equipment moves enough air to pull lint out of long commercial runs that residential machines just can’t reach.
Scheduling Around Your Business
We clean after hours or in shifts so you don’t lose a day of revenue. For an apartment building, that means the laundry room is back in service before the morning rush. For a laundromat on Flatbush Avenue, we’ll work around your busiest days. A live person answers our phone 24/7, so you can schedule when it suits your building.
Brands We Service
We service every major dryer brand and vent setup in Brooklyn, but our team has particular depth with Honeywell vent systems and Aprilaire air products, two of the most common brands in newer Brooklyn condos and rowhouse renovations. We know their venting requirements, their airflow specs, and the failure points they develop in our climate. That means the work goes faster and the diagnosis is sharper the first time.
We also work regularly with Guardsman and Abatement Technologies equipment on the cleaning side, which matters when you have a long vent run in a prewar building where standard residential tools don’t have the reach. Whether you have Honeywell, Aprilaire, Guardsman, or any other make, the process is the same: we inspect, we quote a written price, and then we clean it right.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Clothes take more than one full cycle to dry. A dryer in good shape with a clear vent should dry a normal load in 45 to 50 minutes. When the vent is clogged, moisture has nowhere to go, and the dryer’s sensors keep adding time. You’re paying Con Edison to run a machine that’s already done the work.
- The outside vent flap doesn’t open when the dryer runs. Stand outside with the dryer running and check the exhaust. If the flap isn’t pushed open by warm air, the vent is blocked somewhere along the run. On a calm day in Bay Ridge or Canarsie, you should feel steady warm air coming out.
- The laundry room gets hot and humid while the dryer runs. A properly vented dryer sends moisture and heat outside. If it’s staying in your Brooklyn apartment instead, the vent isn’t doing its job. That trapped moisture eventually finds your walls and ceiling.
- You smell a burning or musty smell when the dryer is on. Lint is extremely flammable, and a burning smell means lint is sitting too close to the heating element. This is the one sign where we’ll tell you to stop using the dryer until we’ve looked at it. A musty smell is lint holding moisture, which means the vent is partially blocked.
- It’s been more than a year since the last cleaning, and you have pets. Pet hair doesn’t all catch in the lint trap. A surprising amount makes it into the vent line, especially with dogs that shed. If you have two dogs and haven’t cleaned the vent in 18 months, there’s a lint and hair plug building somewhere in that pipe.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
We protect your floors first. Before any equipment comes out of the truck, the crew puts on shoe covers and lays drop cloths from the entry door to the dryer. That’s the Cedarwell Care Promise, and we don’t ask permission for it. It just happens on every visit.
- 2
We scope the vent and measure the airflow. Using a camera inspection tool, we look inside the entire vent line and read the airflow at the outside cap. That tells us exactly where the blockage is and how much buildup we’re dealing with before we touch anything.
- 3
We give you the written price. Based on what the camera shows, Paul or your technician gives you a number in writing. The price covers the full cleaning from the dryer connection to the exterior vent cap. You approve it before any work starts. If it’s a repair or install, same rule: written price first.
- 4
We clean the entire run with professional equipment. Using Rotobrush and Nikro tools, we pull lint out of every foot of the vent line, from the wall behind the dryer all the way to the outside cap. We also clear the exterior vent hood, which is where Brooklyn’s weather and birds do their own damage.
- 5
We show you the clean-up before we leave. The vent is clear, the floor is clean, the dryer is back in place, and we’ll show you a photo of the job site before we walk out. The 365-Day Done Right Promise starts the day we leave: if it isn’t right, we make it right.
How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost in Brooklyn?
A typical dryer vent cleaning in Brooklyn runs $149 to $349 for a single-family home or apartment. If the vent is short and was cleaned within the last year, you’ll land near the low end. If it’s a long run from a laundry room in the center of a prewar building to the back wall of the roofline, or it hasn’t been cleaned in three years, you’ll be closer to the high end. Most of our Brooklyn jobs finish between $180 and $290.
Three things move the dryer vent cleaning cost. The length of the vent run is the biggest one: a 5-foot straight vent in a ground-floor Bushwick unit costs less to clean than a 40-foot run with two bends in a Park Slope brownstone. The amount of buildup matters too: a vent that’s been neglected for years takes longer to clear properly. And access matters: if we need a ladder to reach an exterior cap three stories up, that’s built into the quote, not sprung on you at the end.
Be wary of any quote under $75 in Brooklyn. That’s almost always a teaser price that becomes a much larger invoice once the crew is standing in your laundry room. At Morton’s, the price we quote is the price you pay. A written quote before work starts means no surprises and no pressure. Call (607) 536-9605 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you over the phone what a typical job in your neighborhood actually costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brooklyn
Dryer vent cleaning is the removal of built-up lint, pet hair, and debris from the full vent duct that runs from the back of your dryer to the outside of your home. The job includes cleaning the interior of the duct, the transition hose, and the exterior vent cap. A clean vent lets your dryer move hot, moist air outside, which shortens drying times and cuts the fire risk that lint creates.
Most residential dryer vent cleaning jobs in Brooklyn take 60 to 90 minutes from the moment our crew walks in to the moment they hand you the photo of the clean-up. Long runs, heavy buildup, or tricky access can add time, and we’ll tell you if yours is one of those before we start. You’ll know the window before we arrive, and we’ll call if anything changes.
Standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Brooklyn costs $149 to $349, with most homes landing between $180 and $290. The biggest factors are the length of your vent run, how long it’s been since the last cleaning, and whether we need special access for the exterior vent. Call (607) 536-9605 and we’ll give you a free estimate for your specific home.
Yes. We work on every major dryer brand, including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Bosch, and Electrolux.

Yes. Every job comes with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the vent isn’t right a month or even a year later, we make it right, full stop. That’s in writing on every job, not hidden in fine print. It’s the only way Paul Adeyemi has run Morton’s since 2005.
Just make sure the dryer area is reachable. Move any laundry baskets, boxes, or shelves that block the path from the dryer to the front door. If the dryer sits in a tight closet, clear enough space for us to pull the machine out safely. We’ll handle the rest: shoe covers, drop cloths, and a clean floor when we leave.
