Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterFast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Johns Creek
Dryer vent cleaning in Johns Creek typically runs $130 – $250 for a standard single-family home, and the job usually takes 45 – 90 minutes when the vent is accessible at an exterior wall. Homes with long concealed runs through finished basements or second-floor laundry rooms take longer and cost more. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team works throughout Johns Creek weekly and knows the housing stock here well. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written quote before any work begins.
Most Johns Creek homes we service were built in the 1990s and early 2000s, and a lot of them still have the builder’s original dryer vent. That matters. The foil flex runs installed during construction were never meant to last 25 years, and in humid Georgia air they sag, kink, and pack with lint long before a homeowner notices anything wrong. We know what to look for here because we see the same patterns house after house, street after street.

Dryer Vent Inspection in Johns Creek
Dryer Vent Inspection in Johns Creek starts with understanding how local 1990s-era homes were built. We run a camera through the full vent run, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, and look for crushed sections, disconnected joints, excessive lint pack, and code violations. In Johns Creek specifically, the most common finding is a builder-original foil flex run that has been kinked or flattened behind a finished basement ceiling or inside a bonus room wall cavity.
The inspection itself identifies what’s actually wrong before any cleaning or repair begins. You get the camera findings explained in plain terms, with a written quote for whatever needs doing.
What the Camera Shows
We look for four things on every Johns Creek inspection: airflow restriction, lint accumulation depth, damaged or disconnected duct sections, and termination issues like a stuck flapper or missing bird guard. In finished-basement homes, we also check whether the vent is accessible for cleaning or whether an access point will need to be cut.
When You Need One
If your dryer has been in the home since the 1990s and the vent has never been inspected, start there. A $79 inspection beats a $400 emergency repair, and we credit the inspection fee toward any cleaning or repair you book the same day.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Johns Creek
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Johns Creek covers salons, fitness centers, pet groomers, apartment common laundry rooms, and small hospitality properties. These facilities run dryers for hours daily, and lint accumulates far faster than in a residential setting. We schedule recurring cleanings monthly, quarterly, or annually depending on volume, and every commercial job includes a written report with before-and-after photos and airflow measurements.
For multi-dryer facilities along Medlock Bridge Road or near the Johns Creek Town Center, we can clean multiple vents in one visit. A typical commercial job in Johns Creek runs $200 – $450 per dryer line depending on run length and accessibility. Larger facilities with long concealed runs through shared chases run higher, and we quote those after an on-site walkthrough.
Apartment and HOA Common Laundry Rooms
Property managers in Johns Creek call us when tenants report dryers taking two cycles to finish a load. That’s almost always a restricted vent. We work with HOAs and property management companies throughout the area, providing documentation that satisfies insurance and fire code requirements.
Recurring Commercial Contracts
For salons, groomers, and fitness centers, we set up quarterly or semi-annual cleanings with a standing discount. You get the same technician each visit, and the price is locked in writing for the contract term.
Trusted Brands We Service in Johns Creek
We service and clean dryer vents in homes with dryers from all major brands, and when a vent cap, bird guard, or transition duct needs replacement, we carry common parts from trade-trusted manufacturers on our trucks. Our cleaning equipment is professional-grade Nikro and Rotobrush gear, built for negative-pressure lint extraction rather than the small shop-vac setups some fly-by-night cleaners use. For air quality products that pair with our duct cleaning work, we install and service Honeywell and Aprilaire components. Johns Creek customers appreciate that we show up with the right parts for their specific setup, not generic hardware-store pieces that don’t seal properly.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Johns Creek Homes
- Crushed builder-original foil flex runs. Whole subdivisions off Medlock Bridge Road share the same 1990s construction method: long, concealed foil dryer vent runs that sag, kink, and eventually crush flat. By the time a dryer starts taking two cycles per load, the vent has been restricted for years.
- Finished basement concealment. A large portion of Johns Creek homes have finished basements, and builders often ran dryer vents through the basement ceiling cavity. That means the lint blockage you can’t see is the one causing the problem, and cleaning requires cutting an access point or pulling the run from the exterior.
- Upper-floor laundry rooms with long runs. Many Johns Creek floor plans put the laundry on the second floor, with 20 – 30 feet of concealed duct between the dryer and the outside wall. The lint you see at the trap is a fraction of what’s packed inside that long run.
- Missing or damaged bird guards. Heavily wooded areas along the Chattahoochee River watershed mean birds and squirrels target exterior dryer vent terminations. We routinely find nests built inside vent caps, which compounds an already restricted airflow situation.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Johns Creek, GA
Standard dryer vent cleaning in Johns Creek runs $130 – $250 for most single-family homes with an accessible exterior termination. Homes with second-floor laundry rooms, finished basements, or runs longer than 15 feet typically run $200 – $350 because the work takes longer and may require an access point. If we find a crushed section or need to replace foil flex with rigid metal duct, that repair adds $80 – $180 depending on the length. Vent cap replacement runs $35 – $75, bird guard installation $25 – $50. Every quote is one flat price per system, in writing, before we start. No per-vent pricing games.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Johns Creek
If your dryer now takes two full cycles to dry a normal load, the vent is almost certainly restricted. Other signs include a burning smell while the dryer runs, the dryer exterior feeling unusually hot, the flapper on the outside vent not opening during a cycle, or visible lint around the dryer. In 1990s Johns Creek homes with original foil flex runs, these symptoms usually mean the vent has been slowly crushing or packing with lint for years. Call (980) 447-2498 for an inspection with camera documentation, and you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with.
Because they were built in phased subdivisions using nearly identical construction methods and materials. The builder-grade foil flex runs installed in the 1990s were inexpensive and easy to route through concealed cavities, but they degrade in Georgia’s humidity and kink behind finished walls. When we inspect one house in Medlock Bridge and find a crushed run, the adjacent homes usually have the same issue. It’s a neighborhood-wide aging pattern, not a one-off failure.
Yes, but it requires more than a standard cleaning. We run a camera to locate the restricted section, then determine whether we can access it from the exterior or whether a small access point needs to be cut. If we cut an access point, we install a proper access panel so future cleanings are straightforward. In one Medlock Bridge home off Medlock Bridge Road, our tech pulled a camera through the dryer vent and found the builder’s original foil flex run crushed flat behind the finished basement ceiling, packed with a decade of lint the trap never caught. We cut in an access point, ran agitation tools through the lint pathway under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and replaced the crushed section with rigid metal duct so the homeowner’s dryer could finally exhaust at full flow. That’s the kind of repair we quote in writing before starting.
Yes. We clean dryer vents for salons, fitness centers, pet groomers, apartment common laundry rooms, and small hospitality properties throughout Johns Creek. Commercial pricing runs $200 – $450 per dryer line depending on run length and access, and we offer recurring contracts with locked-in pricing for quarterly or semi-annual cleanings. Every commercial job includes before-and-after documentation for your records.
Johns Creek’s heavily wooded neighborhoods along the Chattahoochee River watershed intensify pollen infiltration into exterior vent terminations. During March through May, pollen and tree debris accumulate on and inside vent caps, compounding any existing lint restriction. We recommend scheduling your cleaning in early spring or fall, but the honest answer is that a clogged vent is a fire hazard year-round, so don’t wait if you have symptoms. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
