Why Short Hills residents choose The Dryer Guys for residential dryer vent cleaning
Short Hills is a neighborhood within Millburn Township, but most residents think of it as its own town — and with a population of about 14,200, its own housing character, and the nationally-known Mall at Short Hills, it effectively is. Homes here are on the larger end of the Essex County scale, with correspondingly complex vent runs and premium dryer installations.
What Short Hills's housing stock means for your vent
Large single-family homes, most pre-1960 with significant renovations. Vent runs regularly exceed 30 feet and often include unusual routing decisions from past renovations — a classic job for video endoscopy to document 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.
Our approach in Short Hills
Many Short Hills homes have two dryers (main-floor laundry plus second-floor laundry in renovated homes). We inspect and service both on the same visit. If a second dryer needs service, we prefer to find out before we arrive so we can allocate time properly.
What's included on every Short Hills job
- Video endoscope pre-inspection of the full vent run
- Rotary-brush cleaning from exterior termination inward
- HEPA-vacuum lint capture at the dryer connection
- Exterior vent-hood cleaning and flap verification
- Booster-fan inspection (if installed)
- Post-service video re-inspection
- Written inspection report with before/after photos
- Digital invoice through Square
- Clean-up and floor protection throughout
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.
