Dryer Vent and Chimney Cleaning Ballwin MO

Protect Your Home from Hidden Fire Hazards

Dryer vents and chimneys are often overlooked — until they become a serious fire risk. At A Breathe-Rite Carpet & Air Duct Cleaning Co, we provide thorough, professional dryer vent and chimney cleaning for homeowners across Ballwin, Missouri. Our goal is simple: protect your home, improve airflow, and keep your ventilation systems safe.

Excess lint in your dryer vent or soot in your chimney can lead to dangerous blockages, inefficient airflow, and even home fires. Our certified technicians use specialized tools to clear out buildup and restore safe operation for your dryer, fireplace, and exhaust systems.

Why Dryer Vent and Chimney Cleaning Is Essential

Blocked dryer vents and chimneys are more than a nuisance — they are a leading cause of residential fires in the U.S. Lint, animal nesting, and soot buildup can trap heat and prevent safe exhaust ventilation, creating hazardous conditions inside your home.

Warning signs of a clogged dryer vent or chimney include:

Dryer taking longer to dry clothes

Hot air or moisture around the dryer

Our Cleaning Services

We offer two specialized services to protect and maintain your home’s ventilation and exhaust systems:

Dryer Vent Cleaning

We remove all lint, dust, and blockages from the full dryer exhaust system — including flexible duct lines, rigid piping, exterior vents, and wall connectors. We also check for crushed or improperly routed vent lines that reduce efficiency.

This service improves dryer performance, shortens dry cycles, and significantly reduces the risk of fire caused by trapped lint and heat buildup.

Chimney Cleaning

Our chimney sweep service includes thorough soot and creosote removal from the flue, smoke chamber, and chimney walls. We also inspect for blockages, nesting, and structural integrity. This helps prevent backdrafting, improves fireplace safety, and ensures efficient smoke exhaust

Both services include visual inspections and debris disposal, with careful protection of floors and surrounding areas.

Benefits of Regular Vent and Chimney Maintenance

Routine cleaning of dryer vents and chimneys brings clear safety and performance advantages:

  • Reduces fire hazards from trapped lint or soot
  • Improves airflow and drying efficiency
  • Protects dryer motor and heating element from overheating
  • Prevents smoke and carbon monoxide buildup in living areas
  • Extends lifespan of both appliances and venting systems
  • Lowers energy bills due to shorter dry times and better ventilation

Annual cleaning is recommended for both systems, especially for households with frequent dryer use or active fireplaces.
