What dryer vents look like in Northbrook homes
About two-thirds of Northbrook's 14,400 homes were built between 1940 and 1989. Houses from that era 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 very often never cleaned at all.
Townhouses are different. About 1 in 9 homes in Northbrook is a townhouse, and their 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. Newer houses with second-floor laundry rooms have the same problem. Long runs load up faster and nobody sees 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. 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.

Has your dryer vent ever been cleaned?
That is the question that matters in Northbrook. The median home here was built in 1976, and 87% of homes are owner-occupied. If you bought yours and nobody mentioned the dryer vent at closing, assume it has not been cleaned. Not late for this year. Never done.
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. Towels that used to dry in one cycle and now need two mean it is not. If everything checks out, skip the appointment.

Dryer vent cleaning in Northbrook FAQ
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Northbrook?
Top Air Solutions charges a flat $149 in Northbrook. A townhouse vent running across the ceiling or up to 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 in Northbrook townhouses?
Yes. Townhouse vents are often long runs through a ceiling or up to the roof. We rod the full length, clear the outside cap and confirm the damper opens, all for the same $149.
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 townhouse or roof 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 Northbrook homes. A basement run to a side wall is closer to 30 minutes. A long townhouse or roof run takes longer because the full length has to be rodded properly.
