Dryer Vent Cleaning in Austin, Texas
When most people think about household maintenance, cleaning the dryer vent doesn’t usually make the list. But it should—and here’s why. At K&M Steam Cleaning, we’ve seen firsthand how clogged dryer vents can pose serious risks, from fire hazards to energy waste. That’s why we offer professional dryer vent cleaning throughout Austin and surrounding suburbs.
Your Dryer Vent Does More Than You Think
Over time, lint, dust, and even bird nests can build up inside your dryer vent line. When that happens, it creates a bottleneck that forces your dryer to work harder than it should. That means:
- Longer drying times
- Higher energy bills
- Excess heat in your laundry area
- A real risk of dryer fires
In fact, the U.S. Fire Administration reports that clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires. That’s why we don’t just recommend dryer vent cleaning—we prioritize it.
What Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Service Includes
At K&M, we clean dryer vents the right way. We don’t just vacuum near the dryer hookup and call it a day. We use a rotary brush system spinning at over 500 RPM, combined with a high-powered vacuum that snakes the entire length of your dryer vent line. That allows us to safely dislodge and remove everything built up inside—from lint and dust to small blockages caused by rodents or debris.
Depending on how your vent is routed, we may clean from both the inside and the exterior exhaust point to ensure total removal. And yes, we clean up after ourselves. From your utility room to your yard, we leave your home as clean as we found it—or cleaner.
Don’t Just Take Our Word For It
Here’s what real customers are saying:
“I was very surprised at all the dryer vent waste and lint that they removed. They cleaned from the dryer location to the outside, then back again several times. Left everything spotless.”
— Randy G., Austin
“We had a steep roof that two other companies wouldn’t touch. K&M got it done without hesitation.”
— Jorge S., Hutto
“Quick, efficient, and extremely professional. Ken stayed longer to make sure it was both clean and safe.”

“There was a bird’s nest in our dryer duct. They cleared it quickly and explained every step.”
— Mohammed, Austin
“Other companies wanted to charge double because the vent line was long. K&M didn’t play games with pricing.”
— CK Carman, Round Rock
We could go on, but you get the idea. Customers trust us to do it right—and we don’t let them down.
When Should You Clean Your Dryer Vent?
We recommend scheduling a dryer vent cleaning at least once a year—more often if:
- You have a large household and do laundry frequently
- You notice longer drying times
- Your dryer or laundry room feels hot to the touch
- You smell something burning or musty
- Your dryer’s exterior vent flap sticks closed
If your dryer is overheating or your clothes are still damp after a full cycle, give us a call.
