Common questions
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Cambridge?
Most Cambridge jobs land between $156 and $250. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $407. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
How long does dryer vent cleaning take in Cambridge?
45–60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
What warranty do you offer on dryer vent cleaning in Cambridge?
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.
Do you offer same-day dryer vent cleaning in Cambridge?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Cambridge for most standard scopes.
Is dryer vent cleaning covered by home insurance in Cambridge?
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.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
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.
Do you need a permit for dryer vent cleaning in Cambridge?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Cambridge. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
