Dryer Vent Repair in Northern Virginia
The service most companies won't do. When a duct is crushed, disconnected, leaking into a wall, or venting nowhere, we repair it right instead of handing you a bill and a phone number.

Our repair process
Here's exactly what we do.
This is the gap in the market. Plenty of crews will clean a vent; almost none will fix a broken one. A crushed elbow behind the dryer, a section that fell off inside a wall, or a duct dumping hot moist air into your crawlspace are all real problems a cleaning can't solve. We diagnose the actual failure and repair it.
- 1
Diagnose the real failure
Crushed, disconnected, leaking, or too long — we identify what's actually wrong before quoting, so you're not paying to guess.
- 2
Show you the problem
We walk you through what we found with photos or camera footage so the repair makes sense, not just the invoice.
- 3
Repair or replace the run
We re-secure disconnected joints, replace crushed or damaged sections, and swap flimsy foil for rigid or semi-rigid duct where it belongs.
- 4
Seal & support properly
Joints are sealed and the run is supported so it doesn't sag, kink, or pull apart again in a year.
- 5
Verify airflow & venting
We confirm the duct vents fully to the exterior and measure airflow so you know the fix actually worked.
Signs you need this
If any of these sound familiar, let's talk.
- Your dryer vent was 'cleaned' but drying is still slow
- You can see a duct that's crushed, kinked, or pulled apart
- Hot, humid air or lint collecting in a wall cavity or crawlspace
- A section of ductwork visibly disconnected behind the dryer
- Rodent or pest damage to accessible ducting
- A previous company told you to 'find someone else' to fix it
The full-lifecycle difference
Most companies stop at the clean. We don't.
Dryer Vent Repair is one piece of the picture. Because we own the whole lifecycle — clean, repair, re-route, install, and fan replacement — we can actually solve the problem instead of handing you a bill and a referral.
What affects cost
Honest pricing, no fake number.
Because price depends on length, materials, and complexity, we don't guess. We come out for a $49 inspection and service call, then hand you a firm estimate before any work begins — and if you go ahead with the work, that $49comes straight off the job, so the quote effectively costs you nothing. Here's what moves the number.
Type of failure
Re-securing a disconnected joint is minor; replacing a crushed run buried in a wall is a bigger repair. We scope it before quoting.
Accessibility
Damage inside a finished wall, ceiling, or tight crawlspace takes more work to reach than an exposed basement run.
Materials required
Rigid metal duct, new terminations, or transition parts factor in — we use the right materials, not the cheapest foil.
Whether re-routing is smarter
Sometimes fixing a bad path costs about the same as re-routing it correctly. We'll lay out both so you can choose.
Dryer Vent Repair FAQ
Questions homeowners actually ask.
Because cleaning is quick and repetitive, and repair takes real diagnostic and hands-on work. We built CleanFlow specifically to own that harder part of the job.
If drying is still slow right after a professional cleaning, or you can see crushed, disconnected, or leaking duct, it's a repair issue. We diagnose it before quoting anything.
Yes. In-wall and in-ceiling failures are common and exactly what we handle. We access the run, repair or replace the damaged section, and seal it properly.
Usually, yes. Thin foil crushes and traps lint. Where code and layout allow, we replace it with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct that lasts and vents better.
It depends on the failure. Sometimes a targeted repair is best; sometimes re-routing a bad path costs about the same and performs far better. We'll show you both options.
Always. We verify the duct vents fully outside and measure airflow after the repair, so you leave knowing the problem is genuinely solved.
Case study
In a McLean home, we found the dryer vent had come disconnected in the attic — venting hot, lint-heavy air into the space instead of outside. We replaced and secured the duct system and cleaned the run, so it vents properly again. Read the full job
