He cleaned up the area after working and now my dryer is drying in half the time.Great service at a Great price, he recomended once a year cleaning.
Clothes taking longer to dry or feeling damp is a good sign a dryer vent is being blocked and could be a fire hazard. I'm glad you had it fixed right away.
It was a big job for me in CT and I had to make a new vent as the run on the old vent was about 30 feet, (cost was $375). I kept blowing fuses in my dryer. I learned a very expensive lesson, ($138 a pop times 2).
