What dryer vents look like in Glenview homes
Glenview has two kinds of housing stock, and they have different dryer vents. About 3 in 5 homes were built between 1940 and 1989. Those usually put the laundry in the basement or on the first floor, so the vent runs a short distance to a side wall. Easy to reach, easy to clean, and often never cleaned at all.
About 1 in 3 Glenview homes was built in 1990 or later, including the newer neighborhoods around The Glen. Many newer houses put the laundry upstairs, where the vent has nowhere sideways to go. It climbs to a roof cap or runs across a ceiling to a gable wall. Longer, more vertical and out of sight, so it loads up faster and nobody checks the outside end.
We clean both the same way, for the same $149: the whole run, all the way to the outside cap.
What $149 dryer vent cleaning includes
- One flat price. $149 whether the run is 10 feet to a side wall or 30 feet to a roof cap.
- The whole run. A rotary brush on a flexible rod goes the full length, vertical sections included.
- The lint leaves the house. A HEPA-filtered vacuum at the collection end catches what the brush knocks loose.
- The outside cap cleared. We clear the termination and check that the damper opens, roof caps included.
- The hose behind the dryer checked. A crushed or kinked transition hose is one of the most common restrictions we find.
- A straight answer. When to clean it again, or whether you need to at all.
Roof and second-floor vents at the same price. Our office is right here in Glenview.
Signs your dryer vent needs cleaning
- Towels that used to dry in one cycle now need two
- The top of the dryer is too hot to rest your hand on at the end of a cycle
- Weak air at the outside hood, or a flap that barely lifts
- Lint collecting around the outside vent or behind the dryer
- Nobody can remember the vent ever being cleaned
Check it yourself in five minutes. Run the dryer and hold your hand near the outside hood. Strong, warm air and a flap standing open usually means the run is fine. If everything checks out, skip the appointment.
"John and his crew did a great job cleaning my dryer vent and the HVAC system. They were quick and efficient and cleaned up after themselves."

Townhouses and condos
About 1 in 8 Glenview homes is a townhouse. Townhouse dryer vents often run a long way across a ceiling or up to the roof, because there is no side wall close to the laundry. We rod the full length and clear the roof cap for the same $149.
About 1 in 5 Glenview homes is in a building with five or more units. If you live in a condo building, check with your association first. Some buildings have the dryer exhausts cleaned for every unit at once.
Dryer vent and duct cleaning on one visit
Booking duct cleaning anyway? The crew can usually do the dryer vent on the same visit. See air duct cleaning in Glenview, or our main dryer vent cleaning page. If the vent itself is crushed, disconnected or badly routed, see dryer vent installation. Next door, we also cover dryer vent cleaning in Northbrook.
Dryer vent cleaning in Glenview FAQ
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Glenview?
Top Air Solutions charges a flat $149 in Glenview. A second-floor laundry venting through the roof costs the same as a short basement run to a side wall, so you know the price before we arrive.
Do you clean dryer vents that go through the roof?
Yes. We rod the vertical run from inside, clear the roof cap and confirm the damper opens. Roof vents are included in the $149, not an add-on.
How often should dryer vents be cleaned?
Once a year works for most households. A short side-wall run with light laundry can go 18 months, while a long roof or townhouse run in a busy house may need it sooner. Weak airflow at the outside hood is the best signal.
How long does dryer vent cleaning take?
30 to 60 minutes for most Glenview homes. A basement run to a side wall is closer to 30 minutes. A second-floor laundry with a roof vent takes longer because the vertical section has to be rodded properly.
