Why Maplewood residents choose The Dryer Guys for residential dryer vent cleaning
Maplewood is home base for The Dryer Guys — our Square booking page is registered here, and it's where most of our early customer relationships started. The township of about 25,700 residents has one of the most architecturally diverse housing stocks in North Jersey: Tudor revivals, center-hall colonials, mid-century splits, and a small but growing crop of new-construction townhomes. That diversity is exactly why we invested early in endoscopy equipment — no two Maplewood laundry rooms look the same.
What Maplewood's housing stock means for your vent
Roughly two-thirds of Maplewood homes we service are pre-1940, with the remainder being mid-century splits or newer infill. Second-floor laundry rooms are common in renovated homes and bring their own set of vent-routing challenges (long vertical runs, often up through a chase).
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.
