Frequently Asked Questions
+Does a home inspector check the dryer vent?
Most do — at least visually. Issues like disconnected ducts or lint in the attic show up and become repair requests during negotiations.
+How long does the inspection take?
15–30 minutes for a typical San Antonio home. We can usually clean the same visit if needed.
+Will you give me documentation for the buyer?
Yes. We provide a service receipt you can hand to the buyer or list agent.
+Should I clean it even if no one complained?
Yes — a clean vent receipt is an easy add to your listing and removes a common negotiation point.
+What if the inspection finds a real problem?
We give you a written quote. You decide whether to fix it before listing or disclose and credit at closing.
