Dryer vent cleaning in San Antonio, TX
Your dryer lint trap catches maybe half the lint. The rest packs into the vent run — behind the dryer, through the walls or attic, out to the exterior cap. Year after year it builds up until the dryer can't breathe: clothes take two cycles, the laundry room runs hot, and the vent itself becomes one of the most common household fire starters in America.
Somri Home Services cleans the full dryer vent run in San Antonio homes — from the back of the dryer to the exterior cap — for a flat $149. Most appointments take about an hour.
Call 210-296-5076 to schedule, or book online.
Every dryer vent visit covers the full run, not just behind the dryer:
- Full vent-run cleaning, dryer to exterior termination — rotary brush and high-power vacuum through the entire length, every bend included
- Exterior vent cap inspection — stuck flaps, bird nests, crushed or disconnected sections
- Airflow check before and after — so you can feel the difference
- Dryer reconnected and run to confirm it vents right before we leave
Need chimney work too? Pair it and save: chimney inspection + dryer vent is $225, chimney sweep + dryer vent is $259.
What’s Included - $149 Dryer Vent Cleaning
Why San Antonio Dryer Vents Clog Faster
San Antonio homes make it worse than average. Long vent runs through attics and across slab foundations, rooftop terminations on two-story homes, and flexible foil or plastic transitions hidden behind the dryer all trap lint instead of passing it through. Add a big household running the dryer daily and the run fills up fast.
A clogged vent doesn't just slow the dryer — the motor and heating element work overtime, energy bills climb, and trapped heat plus packed lint is exactly how dryer fires start.

Our Process
1. Inspect. We trace the full vent run, check the exterior cap, and test airflow before touching anything.
2. Clean. Rotary brush and high-power vacuum through the entire run — every bend, every foot.
3. Clear the termination. Exterior cap opened, nests and debris cleared, flap moving freely.
4. Test and reconnect. Airflow tested after cleaning, dryer reconnected and run to confirm it vents right.
Inspect, Clean, Clear the termination, Test and reconnect.
Most appointments take about an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in San Antonio?
$149 flat for the full vent run, dryer to exterior cap. Bundle with chimney work: chimney inspection + dryer vent is $225, chimney sweep + dryer vent is $259.
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
Once a year for most homes. Large households, pet owners, or daily laundry loads — every 6 to 9 months.
Do you clean the whole vent, or just behind the dryer?
The whole run, end to end — dryer to exterior cap, including the termination. Behind-the-dryer-only cleanings leave the dangerous part inside the walls.
My dryer takes forever to dry. Is the vent the problem?
Often, yes — restricted airflow is the most common cause. If the vent is clear and it still won't dry, we'll tell you honestly it's likely the dryer itself.
Can you reach a rooftop vent termination?
Yes. Two-story homes with roof terminations are common here — we clean and inspect rooftop caps too.
Do you also do chimney work?
Yes — that's our core business. Chimney sweep with full inspection is $139, standalone chimney inspection is $99, and gas fireplace inspection and maintenance is $99.
