High pressure jet-snake lint extraction.
For long horizontal runs, we recommend the high pressure jet-snake method. We have a high powered, van mounted, compressor that has enough PSI and CFM to blast out lint buildup in long length horizontal dryer vent systems. We usually only use this procedure when cleaning whole condo association buildings that have long horizontal vent systems (over 25'). We have a van dedicated to carrying this 500lb monster and 300ft hose reel around. Roughly 98 of 100 dryer vent cleaning stops we do, have a vertical duct system that goes through the roof, or horizontal duct system that is less than 25 feet across. So we don't usually drive the van that has this compressor system on our daily routes. The brush system works well enough to clear out any major clogs for single calls. But we will make a special trip for an additional fee if this setup is requested at any location within our service area.
