Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Clovis
Dryer vent cleaning in Clovis typically runs $149-$289 for standard single-story homes, with most jobs completed in under two hours by our Dryer Vent Cleaning team. We answer calls live, 24 hours a day, and our technicians are usually on-site in Clovis within 24-48 hours of scheduling.
We’ve worked in Clovis since the late 1980s, back when the master-planned tracts east of Clovis Avenue were still being graded. We know the flex duct systems in 93619 and 93611, the heat-baked attics that hit 160°F in July, and the particular way agricultural dust from the almond orchards west of town works its way into every mechanical system. If your dryer takes two cycles to finish a load, or you’ve noticed lint collecting where it shouldn’t, that’s not normal wear. It’s a vent system asking for attention before it becomes a fire hazard. Call (844) 685-6342 for a free estimate.
Why Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. Is Clovis’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Clovis homeowners for over 42 years, since before the 93619 zip code was built out. Our reputation here was earned one job at a time, through families who’ve called us back for duct cleaning, then referred us to neighbors when their dryer vents started underperforming.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive with Nikro and Rotobrush equipment sized for the flex duct runs common in Clovis’s boom-era subdivisions. Every job starts and ends with a camera inspection. You’ll see what we see: the collar separation, the lint packed against the bird guard, the sagging flex line dumping into attic insulation. No claims without proof.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Clovis job. If the work isn’t right, we return at no charge. No paperwork to file, no argument. That’s been our policy since 2012.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail tree, not an app. When your dryer is backing up and you’ve got a household to run, you talk to someone who can schedule you.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Clovis
Dryer Vent Inspection
We camera-inspect every Clovis dryer vent before we quote a dollar, just as we do for Air Duct Cleaning in Clovis. In 93619 and eastern 93611, we regularly find flex duct collars that have separated after years of 150°F attic cycling, or bird guards packed with almond orchard dust and wildfire ash. The camera doesn’t guess. It shows you exactly where the restriction is, whether it’s lint buildup, a detached run, or a failed exterior cap. Inspections run $89-$129 in Clovis, and if you proceed with cleaning, we’ll apply that toward the job.
Vent Cleaning & Lint Removal
A standard Clovis dryer vent cleaning - full lint removal from the trap housing through the exterior cap - typically costs $149-$219 for single-story homes with accessible exterior walls. Two-story runs or roof-vented systems in the older tracts near Old Town Clovis run $189-$289 because of the additional access time and equipment needed. We use Rotobrush agitation and Nikro HEPA vacuums to pull lint without blowing it into your laundry room or attic. For homes near active ag land, we often pull twice the lint volume we’d see in coastal markets. The valley loads these systems hard.
Vent Rerouting
Some Clovis homes, especially 1980s and early-1990s builds in 93612 and the older pockets near Shaw Avenue, were originally vented through roof jacks or convoluted attic runs that violate current code and create chronic blockage points. Rerouting to a direct exterior wall termination, part of our Duct Repair & Sealing in Clovis, typically runs $349-$595 depending on framing access and run length. We use solid metal ducting, not flex, for any reroute we install. In Clovis’s heat, metal holds its seal. Flex doesn’t.
Bird Guard Installation & Vent Cap Replacement
Missing or damaged bird guards are a constant issue in Clovis. The agricultural dust loads them until they clog, and without a guard, starlings and sparrows nest directly in the vent line. We install steel mesh bird guards rated for California pest pressure, and we replace cracked or UV-brittled vent caps with durable models from Honeywell and Aprilaire. Bird guard installation runs $79-$149; vent cap replacement is $89-$169 including labor. Both are often done in the same visit as a cleaning.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis
We stock parts and specify equipment from Nikro, Honeywell, and Aprilaire - the same brands serious HVAC contractors use in commercial installs. For Clovis homeowners, that means no waiting on a parts order from Fresno or Fresno. If your vent cap is cracked or your bird guard is missing, we likely have the replacement on the truck. Our technicians carry metal collars, high-temp mastic, and solid duct sections sized for the 4-inch and 6-inch runs common in Clovis’s housing stock. Most repairs finish in a single visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Flex duct collar separation from extreme attic heat. In 93619 subdivisions east of Clovis Avenue, vinyl flex duct collars degrade after 15-20 years of 150-160°F summer temperatures. The duct sags, pulls off its fitting, and dumps lint directly into blown-in attic insulation. We find this failure mode far more often in Clovis than in older Fresno neighborhoods with shorter duct runs and better attic ventilation.
- Bird guards clogged with agricultural dust and wildfire residue. Clovis sits downwind of almond orchards, cotton fields, and dairies. That dust combines with PM2.5 from Sierra wildfire smoke and valley thermal inversions to pack bird guards tight. A clogged guard turns your dryer vent into a pressure cooker, extending dry times and overheating the element.
- Lint traps and exterior caps fouled by valley particulate loading. Fresno County ranks among the worst three U.S. counties for year-round particle pollution. Clovis dryers pull that same air through their systems. Lint traps that would last six months in cleaner air need monthly attention here; exterior caps cake with a gray film that’s part lint, part valley dust.
- Legacy rigid vent systems in pre-1990 Clovis homes. Older homes near Old Town and along Shaw Avenue still have original galvanized steel or aluminum vent runs with screw-together joints that catch lint. These systems weren’t designed for modern dryer airflow rates. We evaluate whether cleaning is sufficient or rerouting to modern smooth-wall metal is the safer long-term fix.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clovis
Clovis sits directly adjacent to active almond orchards, cotton fields, and dairies that generate constant particulate loading, especially during harvest and field-prep seasons. Fresno’s denser urban core has more pavement and less direct ag exposure, so Clovis vents accumulate dust and debris faster, particularly in 93619 and 93611 where neighborhoods back against working farmland. That dust packs bird guards and coats lint traps, reducing airflow and forcing longer dry cycles - a problem Air Quality & Sanitizing - Clovis services can address at the source. Call (844) 685-6342 for a free inspection - we’ll show you exactly what’s in your line.
Clovis attics routinely reach 150-160°F during the six-month Central Valley summer, and that thermal cycling degrades vinyl flex duct collars and mastic seals on a 15-20 year timeline. The master-planned boom-era homes in 93619 and eastern 93611 are now hitting that failure window precisely. Once a collar separates, the duct sags and dumps lint into attic insulation, creating both a fire risk and a contamination pathway into your living space. We replace failed flex sections with metal collars and high-temp mastic rated for attic extremes. Call for a camera inspection - we’ll show you whether your collars are still sealed.
Yes. Pre-1990 homes in 93612 and near Old Town Clovis often have original galvanized or aluminum vent runs with screw-together joints that trap lint and corrode at seams. We evaluate whether cleaning is practical or whether rerouting to modern smooth-wall solid metal is the safer long-term solution. Reroutes typically run $349-$595 and eliminate the chronic blockage points of legacy systems. We’ll give you both options with real numbers before you decide.
Yes. Without a bird guard, starlings and sparrows nest directly in the vent line, creating total blockages and fire hazards. In Clovis, bird guards serve a second critical function: they keep out the agricultural dust and debris that would otherwise enter the vent unfiltered. We install steel mesh guards rated for California pest pressure, and we clean or replace clogged guards during every service. Installation runs $79-$149. Call (844) 685-6342 to add one during your next cleaning.
Signs of a detached attic vent line include: clothes taking two or more cycles to dry, excess humidity in the laundry room, lint collecting on attic insulation or around the dryer base, and a dryer that runs hot to the touch. We responded to a home on Temperance Avenue in the 93619 master-planned tract where the dryer took three cycles to dry a single load. Our inspection revealed that a sagging, heat-weakened flex duct had pulled off its collar, funneling lint into the attic batting. We reattached the run with a metal collar and sealed it with high-temp mastic, then installed a Rotobrush-cleaned bird guard to prevent future pest intrusion. If you’re seeing these symptoms, call (844) 685-6342 for a free camera inspection - we’ll confirm whether your line is intact.
