Common questions
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
Is dryer vent cleaning covered by home insurance in Ajax?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.

Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Ajax?
Most Ajax jobs land between $165 and $265. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $430. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you offer same-day dryer vent cleaning in Ajax?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Ajax for most standard scopes.
When's the best time of year for dryer vent cleaning in Ajax?
Late September through mid-November with Ajax averaging 95cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How long does dryer vent cleaning take in Ajax?
45–60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you need a permit for dryer vent cleaning in Ajax?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Ajax. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
