Dryer vents in Durham homes
Durham is two towns in one. Around Main Street and Newmarket Road, the Durham Historic District holds 18th- and 19th-century houses, one with a section believed to date to 1649. Around campus, about 4,000 University of New Hampshire students live off campus in apartments and student complexes, and more than 40% of the town's homes are in multi-unit buildings.
Student rentals are some of the hardest-working dryers anywhere: several people per unit, laundry every day, and lint screens that rarely get cleaned. With turnover every year, nobody tracks when the vent was last done.
Historic houses in the village have the opposite problem: the dryer was added long after the house was built, often with a long or awkward vent run.

What we see most in Durham
Student rentals with heavy use
Many loads a day and lint screens that are rarely cleaned fill a vent fast. Once a year at turnover is the minimum.
Multi-unit buildings and complexes
Landlords can book every unit on one day at $99 to $119 per unit, with a report per unit for their records.
Historic homes with added-later vents
Long, improvised runs through old framing. We brush the full length and confirm airflow at the hood.
Unknown history after a sale or new lease
When nobody knows when the vent was last cleaned, assume it is due.
How a cleaning works
- We confirm by text with a time window, and ask where the outside vent is.
- We measure airflow at the outside hood with the dryer running, and take photos.
- We protect the room with a drop cloth and shoe covers. Electric dryers are pulled out; gas dryers stay put.
- We brush and vacuum the full duct from both ends with a rotary brush and a HEPA vacuum, and clear the hood and flap.
- We measure again and text you the before-and-after numbers and photos. You pay when it is done.
