Lint tells the story. Find it on the floor behind the dryer, or feel a hot laundry room, or notice the outside flap barely moving, and the vent is the suspect. Long drying times often trace back here rather than to the dryer itself. Clogged ducts also hold heat where heat should not sit. We inspect the whole run, from the machine connection to the exterior hood, and clear or repair what we find. Plenty of Montgomery houses hide vents inside walls and crawl spaces. Call us to walk us through what you are seeing.

Once a year suits most homes. Long duct runs, large families, or pet bedding loads may need it sooner. If drying time creeps up between cleanings, that's the real signal. We'd rather check airflow than guess by the calendar.
A shop vac clears the first foot or two. The packed lint usually sits farther in, at elbows and near the exit cap. Rotary brush tools reach that. We also inspect joints and the termination, which a vacuum can't tell you about.
Ridged foil and plastic duct catch lint and crush easily behind the machine. Rigid or semi-rigid metal keeps the path smooth and holds its shape. When we find flattened duct, we recommend replacing that section instead of just cleaning it.
Airflow may still be limited by a long route, too many elbows, or a stuck exterior flap. It can also be the machine itself — a weak blower wheel or failing heat element. We test both sides before saying which.
Tell us the symptom when you call us and we'll match you to the next open window, often same week. Morning and afternoon arrival windows are available on most weekdays. If your fridge is warming up or a leak is spreading, say so first — those move ahead of routine checks.
Tell us what you hear, smell, or see. Grinding? Puddle? Blinking code? Small details narrow the list of likely causes before we ever pull the machine away from the wall.
A technician runs through a checklist: power, controls, sensors, motors, seals, drainage. We test instead of guessing, then walk you through the actual fault and your repair options.
Some faults are worth fixing today. Others mean the appliance is near the end. We tell you which is which, then complete the repair once you say go.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home — us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
Describe the fault, approve the written quote, get it fixed. Starting takes about a minute.
