What's Living Inside Your Air Ducts and Dryer Vent?

Most homeowners never think about their air ducts or dryer vent — until something goes wrong. But what’s accumulating inside them is working against you every single day.
Air ducts in the average Denver home collect years of dust, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, insect debris, and construction particles that recirculate through your HVAC system every time the heat or air conditioning runs. Every breath you take indoors passes through that ductwork. If it hasn’t been cleaned in years — or ever — your indoor air quality is suffering for it.
Dryer vents present a more urgent concern. Lint buildup in dryer vent lines is the leading cause of residential dryer fires in the United States, with the U.S. Fire Administration reporting tens of thousands of dryer fires annually. Beyond fire risk, a clogged dryer vent makes your dryer work harder, run longer, consume more energy, and wear out faster.
Extreme Cleaning Company provides professional air duct and dryer vent cleaning services across Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Thornton, Littleton, Commerce City, Broomfield, Golden, Brighton, Wheat Ridge, and Englewood. Our licensed, insured, and trained technicians use professional-grade equipment to clean what you can’t see — and protect what matters most.
Air Duct Cleaning Services
Residential Air Duct Cleaning
Our residential air duct cleaning service covers the complete HVAC ductwork system in your home — supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, and the air handler unit where accessible. Using commercial-grade vacuum equipment with HEPA filtration and professional agitation tools, we dislodge and extract the accumulated dust, debris, and contaminants from every section of your duct system.
The result is measurably cleaner air circulating through your home, reduced dust settling on surfaces between cleanings, improved HVAC airflow and efficiency, and a healthier indoor environment — particularly important for households with allergy sufferers, asthma, young children, or pets.
We recommend residential air duct cleaning every 3–5 years under normal conditions, or sooner if you’ve recently completed a renovation, moved into a new home, noticed visible dust around your vents, or observed a decline in your HVAC system’s efficiency.
Post-Renovation and New Construction Air Duct Cleaning
Construction and renovation work generates enormous quantities of fine dust — drywall dust, sawdust, concrete particles, and insulation fibers — that infiltrate and settle throughout your ductwork during and after the project. Standard cleaning can’t address what’s inside the ducts, and running your HVAC after a renovation without cleaning the ducts first means redistributing that construction debris throughout your living space every time the system runs.
Our post-renovation air duct cleaning removes construction-generated debris from your entire duct system before it becomes a chronic air quality and HVAC maintenance problem. We serve homeowners and contractors across the Denver metro area who need a thorough duct clean after any size renovation or new construction project.
Commercial HVAC and Air Duct Cleaning
Commercial buildings — offices, medical facilities, schools, retail spaces, and multi-unit residential properties — have significantly larger and more complex duct systems than residential properties, and the air quality stakes are higher given the number of people breathing that air daily. Our commercial air duct cleaning service uses industrial-grade equipment scaled to commercial ductwork and follows NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) guidelines for commercial system cleaning.
We work after hours and overnight to avoid disrupting your business operations, and we provide documentation of the cleaning scope and results for facilities that require records for building management, health compliance, or LEED certification purposes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Services
Residential Dryer Vent Cleaning
The dryer vent line that runs from your dryer to the exterior of your home accumulates lint with every load of laundry — and unlike the lint trap you clean after every cycle, the vent line itself is out of sight and out of mind until it causes a problem.
Warning signs that your dryer vent needs professional cleaning include: clothes taking longer than one cycle to dry, the dryer running hot to the touch, a burning smell during operation, excessive heat in the laundry room, or it’s been more than a year since the vent was last cleaned. Our residential dryer vent cleaning service uses professional rotary brush systems and high-powered vacuum equipment to clear the full length of your dryer vent line — from the dryer connection point to the exterior cap — removing lint buildup completely and restoring full, safe airflow.
We also inspect the exterior vent cap for obstructions, damage, or bird nesting — a common issue in Denver metro homes — and confirm proper airflow upon completion.
Dryer Vent Cleaning for Landlords and Property Managers
Dryer vent cleaning is one of the most commonly overlooked maintenance items in rental property management — and one of the highest fire risk factors in multi-unit residential buildings. Lint buildup in dryer vent lines shared between units or running long distances through walls and floors is a particularly serious hazard.
Extreme Cleaning Company works with landlords and property managers across the Denver metro to schedule regular dryer vent cleaning across single and multi-unit rental properties. We maintain records of cleaning dates and findings for your property maintenance documentation, and we flag any vent line damage or obstruction issues that require repair.
Why Clean Air Ducts and Dryer Vents Matter in Colorado
Colorado’s climate creates specific air duct and dryer vent challenges that Denver metro homeowners deal with more than most:
Dry climate and dust. Colorado’s low humidity and high altitude mean more airborne particulate — dust, pollen, and soil — circulates through homes and settles in ductwork faster than in more humid climates. Front Range dust is particularly fine and pervasive.
Wildfire smoke. Increasingly frequent wildfire smoke events push fine particulate matter into homes through HVAC systems, where it accumulates in ductwork and continues circulating long after the smoke clears outdoors.
Long dryer vent runs. Many Denver metro homes — particularly townhomes, condos, and multi-story properties — have long dryer vent runs through walls and floors that accumulate lint faster and are harder to clean without professional equipment.
New construction and renovation activity. The Denver metro has seen sustained construction activity across residential and commercial markets. New construction debris in ductwork is one of the most common findings in newer Denver-area homes that have never had their ducts cleaned.

[ How It Works ]
Our Air Duct & Dryer Vent Cleaning Process
System Inspection
Your technician inspects your HVAC system, duct layout, and dryer vent line before beginning work — assessing the scope of cleaning required, noting any visible damage or mold concerns, and confirming the cleaning approach for your specific system.
Equipment Setup and Containment
We connect our commercial HEPA-filtered vacuum system to your ductwork — creating negative pressure in the system so that dislodged debris is pulled into our equipment rather than released into your living space. This is the critical difference between professional duct cleaning and DIY approaches.
Agitation and Extraction — Duct by Duct
Working systematically through your duct system, we use professional agitation tools — rotating brushes, air whips, and compressed air tools — to dislodge adhered debris from duct walls while our vacuum system extracts it continuously. Each supply and return line is cleaned individually.
Register and Grille Cleaning
All vent covers, registers, and grilles are removed, cleaned, and reinstalled. These components accumulate significant surface dust that re-enters the airstream if left unaddressed.
Dryer Vent Line Cleaning
Using professional rotary brush equipment, we clean the full length of your dryer vent line from connection point to exterior cap, followed by vacuum extraction and an exterior cap inspection. We run a final airflow test before reconnecting your dryer.
Final Inspection and Report
We walk through our findings with you before leaving — including any damage, mold, pest evidence, or installation issues observed during cleaning. You receive a clear summary of what was found and what was done, and any concerns that may require follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions — Air Duct & Dryer Vent Cleaning in Denver
Air duct cleaning in Denver typically ranges from $300 to $700+ for a standard residential system depending on the size of your home, number of vents, duct system complexity, and any add-on services. Commercial systems are quoted individually based on facility size and scope. We provide transparent, upfront quotes — contact us with your home size and vent count for an accurate estimate.
Residential dryer vent cleaning typically ranges from $100 to $200 depending on vent line length, accessibility, and the amount of buildup present. We provide upfront quotes before beginning any work.
The EPA and NADCA recommend having residential air ducts inspected periodically and cleaned when significant contamination is observed — typically every 3–5 years under normal conditions. Clean sooner if you've recently renovated, moved into a previously owned home, noticed increased dust, have allergy or asthma sufferers in the household, or have had pest activity in your ductwork.
The U.S. Fire Administration recommends cleaning dryer vents at least once per year for average household use. Households that do more frequent laundry, use longer vent runs, or have experienced slow drying times should clean more frequently — every 6 months in heavy-use situations.
Yes. Contaminated ductwork can circulate dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, pollen, bacteria, and other allergens throughout your home every time your HVAC system runs. For household members with allergies, asthma, or respiratory conditions, this can directly worsen symptoms. Professional air duct cleaning removes these contaminants from circulation and improves indoor air quality measurably.
Yes. We can perform both services in a single visit, which is the most efficient and cost-effective approach for most homeowners. Let us know when booking that you want both services and we'll schedule adequate time and bring the appropriate equipment for each.
