Dryer Vent Cleaning
Detailed Description
A Clogged Dryer Vent in Your Toronto & GTA Home Is a Fire Risk — Not Just Reduced Performance
Dryer vent fires are one of the leading causes of residential fires across Canada, and the primary cause is lint accumulation that restricts airflow, raises operating temperatures, and eventually ignites. In Toronto & GTA homes — particularly older properties where dryer vents run longer horizontal routes before exiting — lint buildup happens faster than most homeowners expect. The warning signs are there: drying times increasing, the laundry room feeling unusually warm, clothes that are hot to the touch at the end of a cycle. These aren’t minor performance issues — they’re the precursors to a lint fire in the duct system of your Toronto & GTA home.
At CNG Contracting, dryer vent cleaning in Toronto & GTA is done through the complete duct run — not just the section accessible from behind the dryer, but the full duct from the dryer connection to the exterior termination cap. We clear the lint, check the exterior cap for blockage and proper flap operation, and verify airflow before the job is done at your Toronto & GTA property.
What Complete Dryer Vent Service Covers in Toronto & GTA
- Full Duct Run Cleaning: Lint cleared from the complete duct run — the buildup in mid-duct sections that’s inaccessible from either end is exactly where fire risk accumulates most in Toronto & GTA home duct systems.
- Exterior Cap Inspection: The termination cap at the exterior wall of your Toronto & GTA home checked for blocked flap, bird nest obstruction, and damaged mesh or louvers that restrict airflow.
- Airflow Verification: Airflow measured or checked at the exterior cap after cleaning to confirm the duct is clear through its full length.
- Duct Condition Report: Damaged, kinked, or incorrectly routed duct sections that restrict airflow or create fire risk documented and reported before we leave your Toronto & GTA property.

Frequently Asked — Dryer Vent Cleaning in Toronto & GTA
How often should I have the dryer vent cleaned in my Toronto & GTA home?
Once per year is the standard recommendation for most Toronto & GTA households. Larger families, homes with long duct runs, or anyone whose dryer takes longer than it used to should consider twice yearly. If the vent hasn’t been cleaned since the dryer was installed, now is the right time regardless of how the dryer seems to be performing.
Is a burning smell from my dryer an emergency in Toronto & GTA?
Yes — treat it as one. Turn off the dryer and don’t use it until the vent has been cleaned. A burning smell indicates lint is either burning or very close to ignition temperature. Book immediately.
