Roof Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Antonio
Many San Antonio homes — especially two-story builds and townhomes — vent the dryer straight up through the roof. Lint settles in the vertical run and at the roof cap, which is why these vents clog faster than side-wall vents.
What's included
- Ladder/roof access where safe
- Brush and vacuum of the full vertical duct
- Roof vent cap inspection and cleaning
- Inside cleaning at the dryer connection
- Airflow check before we leave

Why roof vents need extra care
Vertical runs trap lint. Heat speeds up buildup. Older roof caps can also lose their flap, which lets birds and debris in. We address both at once.
Safety first
If the roof pitch or condition isn't safe to access, we'll tell you. We don't risk a fall to save 20 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
+Why are roof dryer vents harder to clean?
The vent run is longer, usually straight up through the attic. Lint settles in the vertical section and the roof cover is harder to access. It takes the right tools and a ladder you can trust.
+Do you go on the roof?
Yes, on most San Antonio single-story and two-story homes. We assess pitch and condition first. If the roof isn't safe, we tell you and clean from inside as far as we can reach.
+How often should a roof dryer vent be cleaned?
Typically every 12 months for active households. Roof exits collect lint faster than side-wall exits because lint falls back down the vertical run.
+Will you check the flashing around the vent?
We visually check the boot and flashing for obvious damage. If we see a problem, we'll point it out — a roofer handles the actual flashing replacement.
+Do I need a different service if my vent exits through the roof?
Yes — roof exits usually need our Deep Cleaning rate because of the extra access time and vertical brushing.
