The short answer
Who cleans dryer vents in Somerville?
Somerville is where Eco Fresh is based, and we work all through the borough: the older houses on the streets off Main Street, two-family homes, apartments above downtown storefronts, townhome rows, and the restaurants and shops in the center of town. Every visit begins by following the exhaust from the machine to the outside, then a mechanical cleaning clears it, and an airflow reading at the end shows whether it worked.
Many Somerville houses were built long before anyone planned for a dryer, so the laundry was added later, often in a basement corner or on the second floor, with the exhaust fitted along whatever route was open. Before quoting we work out what is really behind your walls and explain it in everyday words. The quote costs nothing. Ring (908) 554-4522 or use the booking form.

Dryer vent cleaning in Somerville
Rotary brushes and vacuum extraction clear the connection behind the dryer, the run through the floor or wall, and the outside cap. Loose joints are reseated, crushed sections flagged and the airflow measured at the end.
Air duct cleaning in Somerville
Dust from old plaster work, remodeling and pets gathers in supply and return runs, especially in houses with ducts added after the fact. The buildup is loosened, captured under negative pressure and the registers wiped down.
Duct replacement in Somerville
Crushed flex duct behind a dryer, joints that pulled apart in a basement ceiling and runs that have collapsed cannot be brushed clean. After an inspection they are replaced with properly sized, sealed duct.

What a dryer vent run looks like in Somerville
The streets around Main Street hold many frame houses and two-family homes from the days before electric dryers. Laundry usually ended up in the basement or on an upper floor, and the exhaust was fitted along the shortest route that could be found, sometimes through a rim joist, sometimes up through the house to the roof. Runs like that collect lint at every elbow, and a section hidden in a wall can come apart without anyone noticing. We follow the run from the machine outward and tell you exactly where it is squeezed.
Apartments above downtown shops and townhomes bring different layouts. A unit over a storefront may share a wall or a chase with the business below, and a townhome row often has its dryers on an upper level with a vent that climbs to a roof cap. These runs look tidy and fill quietly until the dryer overheats or stops mid-cycle. Associations like to keep paperwork, so we leave notes after each visit on what we found and what we cleared.

Somerville questions
What Somerville owners, tenants and managers ask before they book
Can you clean a dryer vent that runs from the basement to the roof?
Yes. A long run is routine work. Rods and extraction go in from both ends where possible, each reachable joint is checked, and airflow is confirmed where the vent leaves the house. Should a section turn out to be crushed or pulled apart, we point out the spot and go over the repair choices first.
I live in an apartment above a shop. Who should book?
Usually the landlord or the property manager, because the vent may serve more than one unit. You can also call yourself and we will help you start that conversation. The quote is free either way.
Do you service restaurants and other town-center businesses?
Yes, from small restaurants to salons and shops that run a dryer for towels or linens. Dryers in a business shed lint much faster than a home dryer, so we normally propose a repeat schedule, with visits around opening hours if you like. See commercial dryer vent cleaning.
How do I know my dryer vent needs attention?
Typical signs are loads that need a second cycle, a dryer top too hot to touch, a burnt or musty smell, or extra humidity in the laundry area. Any of these is a reason to book an inspection.
