Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

Dryer Vent Inspection in Haverhill
Dryer Vent Inspection in Haverhill is where we almost always start, because the real problem in this city’s older housing stock is rarely visible from the laundry room. Our technician runs a borescope camera through the full vent run, from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination, documenting what we find and where we find it. In Haverhill’s pre-1920s buildings, we’re often looking for crushed galvanized runs behind decades of remodeling, rust jagging the interior of uninsulated basement pipes, or lint that has fallen from an upper unit’s chase into a lower unit’s system. A standard residential inspection runs $120 – $180, with the fee credited toward the cleaning if you move forward.
What the Camera Reveals
We record the full inspection and show you the footage. You’ll see the lint accumulation, any corrosion, disconnected joints, or pest intrusion. In Haverhill’s triple-deckers, we also check whether your vent shares a chimney chase with heating flues – a geometry that changes how we scope and clean the system.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Book an inspection if your dryer cycle times have stretched past 50 minutes, if the laundry room feels unusually hot or humid, or if you smell burning lint. In Haverhill’s older neighborhoods, we also recommend an inspection before buying a home, since original ductwork may have been modified multiple times without proper documentation.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Haverhill
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Haverhill covers multi-unit laundry rooms, apartment building central systems, and any setup where a blocked vent affects more than one household. We clean the full run from each dryer connection to the exterior termination, using negative-air machines and rotary agitation tools that match the scale of the job. Pricing for commercial work in Haverhill starts around $350 for a small multi-unit room and scales with the number of drops, total linear footage, and access difficulty. We price every commercial job on-site after inspection – no per-vent teaser rates that balloon once we’re inside.
Multi-Unit Coordination
In Haverhill’s triple-deckers and tenement conversions, we often coordinate with multiple tenants to clean shared chase systems without cross-contaminating units. We schedule access, contain each work zone with HEPA filtration, and document the condition of every drop for the property manager’s records.
Code Compliance Documentation
We provide written documentation of vent condition, airflow readings before and after cleaning, and any code deficiencies we identify. Haverhill’s older commercial conversions frequently need vent rerouting or cap replacement to meet current fire safety standards, and we flag those issues with a written repair estimate before we leave.
Trusted Brands We Service in Haverhill
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for containment, and Guardsman backdraft dampers and vent caps that we stock for same-day replacement on Haverhill jobs. We don’t show up with hardware-store vacuums and crossed fingers. We show up with the same tools commercial crews use, and we explain what each one does before we start it.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Haverhill Homes
- Shared chimney chases in The Acre’s triple-deckers. When one unit’s dryer vent runs through the same chase as another’s, dislodged lint from an upper floor can fall and clog a lower unit’s system. We inspect the full chase and coordinate multi-unit cleanings to prevent callbacks.
- Rusted galvanized runs in cold basements. Haverhill’s uninsulated basement ducts see extreme temperature swings between winter and summer. Condensation forms on the metal, rust develops, and the jagged interior catches new lint faster than smooth pipe ever would.
- Crushed or disconnected flex duct in 1970s ranches. The west-side ranches often have original flex duct that has sagged behind the dryer, been crushed by storage, or pulled loose at the connection. We replace it with rigid metal where accessible.
- Flooded terminations after spring Merrimack thaw. Crawl-space vent exits near the river valley routinely take on water during spring floods. We find wet lint plugs, bird nests, and corrosion that reads as a clear vent from inside the house.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Haverhill, MA
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Haverhill runs $180 – $340. That covers a single-family home or one unit in a multi-family building with accessible ductwork and a straightforward termination. Vent rerouting, bird guard installation, or cap replacement adds $150 – $400 depending on materials and access. Commercial multi-unit jobs start around $350 and scale with the complexity of the system.
What moves the price: length of the run, number of elbows, whether we need to access the duct through finished walls or ceilings, and the condition of the existing material. Rusted or crushed galvanized pipe that needs replacement costs more than a simple lint removal. We inspect first, write the price down, and get your approval before we start any work. The inspection fee credits toward the cleaning. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate – we’ll give you a real number, not a range that doubles at the door.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Haverhill
The shared chimney chase common in The Acre and Mount Washington means your vent may not be the only source of the debris you’re seeing. Lint from upper units can fall through cracked fittings into lower runs, and the original galvanized ductwork inside these chases often has rusted, jagged interiors that catch new lint immediately after cleaning. We inspect the full chase and seal any cross-paths to break the cycle. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule – estimates are free.
Yes. In The Acre’s triple-deckers, many dryer vents share a single chimney chase with heating flues and sometimes with each other. When we clean one unit, dislodged lint can fall into a neighbor’s system below unless we contain the work zone and inspect adjacent drops. We often coordinate with multiple tenants to clean the full chase in one visit. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll explain how we handle multi-unit scheduling.
We run a borescope camera through the full vent run from dryer to termination, looking for lint accumulation, rust, crushed or disconnected pipe, improper slope, pest intrusion, and shared-chase geometry that could cause cross-contamination between units. You receive the footage and a written report with any recommended repairs. The $120 – $180 inspection fee applies toward your cleaning if you proceed. Call (361) 326-5060 to book.
Original flex duct from the 1970s is almost always a problem. It sags, collects lint in the valleys, and is easily crushed behind the dryer or by storage. We can clean it, but we typically recommend replacing accessible sections with rigid metal duct that maintains proper slope and won’t re-clog as quickly. We’ll show you the condition on camera and price any replacement in writing before we start. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
Yes. We clean multi-unit laundry rooms, apartment building central systems, and commercial dryers throughout Haverhill. Commercial jobs start around $350, scaled to the number of drops and total system complexity. We provide code compliance documentation and coordinate tenant access for shared-chase buildings. Call (361) 326-5060 for a commercial estimate.
