Why Glen Ridge residents choose The Dryer Guys for residential dryer vent cleaning
Glen Ridge is a historic Essex County borough of about 7,900 residents, known statewide for its gas-lit streetlamps and one of the most uniformly preserved Victorian housing stocks in New Jersey. Many of its homes are over 100 years old, which has two implications for dryer vent maintenance: original brick exterior walls add complexity to vent routing, and retrofitted laundry rooms frequently use flexible ducting that should be inspected annually.
What Glen Ridge's housing stock means for your vent
Nearly every Glen Ridge home is a pre-1940 Victorian, Queen Anne, or Colonial Revival. Laundry rooms are often in basements with long runs up to a sidewall or roof termination — the kind of job that benefits most from video endoscopy before cleaning.
Our residential dryer vent cleaning service is built exactly for this kind of work: Video endoscope pre-inspection of the full vent run, Rotary-brush cleaning from exterior termination inward, HEPA-vacuum lint capture at the dryer connection, and a post-service re-scope to prove the run is clear.

3-step process
- Inspect & scope the system. We arrive on-time, lay shoe covers and floor protection, then pull the dryer forward and run a video endoscope through the full vent run — connector, in-wall ducting, and exterior termination. You see the footage on our tablet in real time. Flat $49.99 inspection fee — applied even if you choose not to proceed with cleaning.
- Clean with rotary brush + HEPA capture. A flexible rotary brush sized for your vent diameter is run the full length from the exterior termination back, agitating compacted lint. A HEPA-filtered vacuum at the dryer end captures everything so nothing ends up back in your house. $220 for a standard residential vent run.
- Verify & document. We re-scope the vent to confirm it's clear, verify airflow at the exterior termination, reconnect the dryer, and leave you with a written inspection report plus before/after photos. Digital invoice emailed through Square. Typical on-site time: 45 minutes.
