- About – Prevent
Let me start by giving you an idea of what other local companies charge/do at the appointment VS what we charge/do at the appointment.
Dryer vent cleaning for us is not just another add-on service that we offer. This is ALL we do & specialize in.
Our slogan is “Protecting Your Home & Family”, & this comes from our personal story of the home we grew up in that caught fire due to Dryer Lint! We do this to help make sure others don’t go through the same thing we did.
The average pricing for other companies starts at $175 for dryer vent ONLY. They do not scope with a camera, and if they have to come inside the home.. it’s an additional charge. If the dryer vent termination point is over 5’ off the ground, it’s an additional charge and the price goes up from there.
We offer a complete service taking care of removing important potential fire hazards and not just in the dryer vent itself.
