We’ve worked Borough Park’s attached brick row houses and semi-detached two-families for over 42 years. We know the tight chases, the retrofitted ductwork, and the particular way this neighborhood’s housing stock fights back. Ray Castillo built Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. on the idea that a customer should never need to call twice for the same job. That principle hasn’t changed since 1984.
Why Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. Is Borough Park’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Borough Park residents call us because we understand what other companies miss. The grease-laden lint that clogs vents here isn’t standard household lint. It’s the residue of high-volume kosher cooking - multiple large Shabbat and holiday meals prepared weekly in close-quarters row houses - infiltrating dryer vents that share duct chases with kitchen exhaust. We’ve developed specific protocols for this contamination profile, including industrial degreaser pre-treatment before standard brushing.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and equipped with Nikro camera systems to inspect every vent before and after cleaning. You’ll see the blockage. You’ll see the clear line. No claims without proof.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. Not voicemail. Not an app. A real person at our office who can dispatch a crew to your block on 13th Avenue, 16th Avenue, or the side streets between.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Borough Park job. If the work isn’t right, we return at no charge. No paperwork. No arguing. That’s stamped on every invoice.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Borough Park
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every job starts with a camera inspection using Nikro equipment. In Borough Park’s 1920s-1950s housing stock, we regularly find retrofitted ducts with tight bends and undersized diameters that trap lint deep in inaccessible runs. The original steam-radiator homes here were never engineered for forced-air systems, so duct chases were improvised through walls and between floors. Our inspection locates blockages, identifies grease infiltration from shared kitchen exhaust chases, and documents vent integrity before we quote any work. You’ll see the video. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Vent Cleaning & Lint Removal
Standard lint removal isn’t sufficient for many Borough Park homes. On a pre-Passover job on 13th Avenue, our team found a dryer vent in a 1930s row house that had been rerouted through an improvised chase shared with a kitchen exhaust duct. The lint trap was caked with grease - not just lint - requiring a Rotobrush with industrial degreaser treatment before standard brushing could clear the line. We reinstalled a Honeywell vent cap with a bird guard to prevent future blockages. That job took four hours. Most standard cleanings run 90 minutes. We’ll tell you which category you’re in before we start.
Vent Rerouting
When a shared chase has compromised the vent line beyond cleaning, we reroute. Borough Park’s row houses often present limited exterior wall options, so we engineer runs through basements, bulkheads, or rear extensions while maintaining proper slope and diameter per code. Rerouting in this market typically runs $340-$580 depending on linear footage and access difficulty. We disclose the full cost before cutting any drywall. Our standing offer of $50 Off Any Repair Over $250 applies to rerouting jobs that qualify.
Bird Guard Installation & Vent Cap Replacement
Original bird guards from the 1950s or earlier are often missing or corroded in Borough Park’s aging housing stock. Without protection, nesting material lodges in the vent cap, compounding lint buildup during high-use Shabbat laundry cycles. We install new bird guards and replace damaged vent caps with Honeywell and Aprilaire hardware sized for your duct diameter. Replacement caps with integrated guards run $89-$160 installed. The permanent 5% Senior and Veteran discount applies.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Borough Park Homes
- Grease-laden lint from shared kitchen-exhaust chases. In Borough Park, dryer vents in row houses often share duct chases with kitchen exhaust, leading to grease infiltration into lint traps. This contamination profile is closer to a commercial restaurant kitchen than typical residential lint. Quarterly cleaning is necessary year-round instead of annual service.
- Retrofit ducts with tight bends and undersized diameters. The forced-air systems installed in Borough Park’s original steam-radiator homes used improvised chases and undersized trunk lines. Lint traps deep in these inaccessible runs, requiring full inspection with a Nikro camera to locate blockages before cleaning begins.
- Missing or corroded original bird guards. Vent caps from the 1950s or earlier have often lost their screens entirely. Nesting material from pigeons and sparrows common to Brooklyn’s dense housing compounds lint buildup, especially during high-use Shabbat laundry cycles when dryers run consecutive loads.
- Humidity-driven lint compaction. Brooklyn’s humid summers push heavy moisture through these aging duct systems. Wet lint compacts harder than dry lint, forming dense blockages that standard brushing alone won’t dislodge. We encounter this most frequently in July and August, and in pre-Passover deep-cleaning season when vents haven’t been serviced in over a year.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Borough Park
Your vent likely shares a duct chase with kitchen exhaust, a common configuration in Borough Park’s attached brick row houses. The high volume of kosher cooking in this neighborhood loads the shared chase with grease that infiltrates the dryer vent, bonding with lint to form dense blockages. Flatbush has a different housing density and kitchen ventilation profile, so standard lint accumulation applies there. Call (844) 685-6342 for a camera inspection - estimates are free.
Yes, if your vent shares a chase with kitchen exhaust. Standard brushing removes lint but won’t dissolve grease deposits. We use industrial degreaser pre-treatment before Rotobrush agitation for these jobs. The degreaser formulation is compatible with residential use and leaves no residue that would affect kosher observance. We’ll confirm your vent configuration during inspection and advise if degreaser treatment is necessary. Call (844) 685-6342 to schedule.
Schedule four to six weeks before Passover, which typically falls in March or April. Demand spikes sharply in the weeks before the holiday due to the religious obligation to remove chametz, and our calendar fills for pre-Passover whole-home deep cleaning. Booking early guarantees your preferred date. We also offer our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up for straightforward jobs booked outside peak season. Call (844) 685-6342 to reserve your slot.
Almost certainly updated, but possibly poorly. Borough Park’s 1920s-1950s housing was originally engineered for steam-radiator heat with no duct infrastructure. Forced-air systems and dryer vents were retrofitted later, often through improvised chases with tight bends and inconsistent sealing. We’ve found 1930s row houses with vents rerouted three or four times by previous owners. Our camera inspection reveals the actual configuration, not just what’s visible. Call (844) 685-6342 for an honest assessment.
If your guard is original to a 1950s or earlier installation, yes. These early guards are typically corroded, missing fasteners, or gone entirely. Without protection, nesting material compounds lint buildup during high-use cycles. We replace damaged guards with new Honeywell caps with integrated bird screens for $89-$160 installed, depending on duct diameter and access. This is often the most cost-effective preventive upgrade we offer. Call (844) 685-6342 to include it in your service.
