Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Call us at (470) 435-7984 for a free estimate.
Why Emberly Chimney Cleaners Atlanta Is Roswell’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve worked in enough Roswell homes to know the difference between a straightforward lint clearing and the cross-contamination jobs this city’s 1980s-90s subdivisions produce. Our reviews from Roswell customers consistently mention the photo documentation we provide and the written price they received before any work started.
Response time to Roswell is typically same-week, with scheduling coordinated from our Atlanta office and crews already working North Fulton routes. That matters when your dryer is taking two cycles and you’re smelling something hot behind the laundry door.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and licensed - license number displayed on every page. You get a text when your tech is en route, and every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise under the Haven Standard.
We don’t do “call for a quote.” We deliver a written price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone touches your vent. That’s Clause 1 of the Haven Standard: Have it in writing.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Roswell
Full Dryer Vent and Transition Duct Cleaning
Most Roswell homes built in the 1980s and 1990s - think Willow Springs, Tines Valley, the winding loops off Eves Road - have flexible vinyl or foil transition ducts behind the dryer that sag, kink, and pack with lint over decades. We remove the transition duct entirely, clean it or replace it with smooth aluminum, then run a rotary brush and high-velocity vacuum through the full vent run to the exterior. In homes where the dryer vent shares a framed chase with a factory-built fireplace flue, we inspect the separation between systems to confirm exhaust isn’t dumping moisture against an already-aging metal flue liner.
Exterior Termination and Chase-Cover Inspection
Roswell’s dense tree canopy and humid Piedmont climate mean exterior dampers seize or go missing, and the chase covers above zero-clearance fireplaces rust through faster than homeowners expect. We inspect the termination point, the damper operation, and the chase cover integrity. If the chase cover is rusted or improperly flashed, we document it with photos and explain whether it’s letting water into the chase wall - because a wet chase accelerates rust on both the fireplace flue liner and any adjacent dryer vent components. Materials we use for replacement, when needed, come through our Haven buying network from Gelco and Olympia Chimney.
Dryer Vent Airflow and Safety Verification
We measure airflow before and after cleaning with a calibrated anemometer, and we check the dryer’s internal temperature cycling. In Roswell’s older subdivisions where long vent runs were common builder-grade shortcuts, we flag runs that exceed 25 feet or have too many elbows - both code compliance issues that create fire risk. You walk away with the airflow readings, before-and-after photos, and a written condition report. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this documented photo record on every job; we’ve done it since 2009.
Chimney and Fireplace Flue Inspection During Same Visit
Because so many Roswell dryer vents terminate through or adjacent to factory-built fireplace chases, we routinely perform Dryer Vent Cleaning alongside a Level 2 chimney inspection. Our camera goes down the flue to check for rust, separation, or moisture damage that a shared chase may have accelerated. One visit, one written price for both services, one documented record. We’ve completed more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings since 2009, every one with a written price before work started and a photo record when done.

We stock replacement components from HeatShield, Gelco, and Famco through our Haven buying network, which means Roswell customers aren’t waiting on special orders for chase covers, termination dampers, or smooth aluminum transition ducts. When we find a seized damper or rusted chase cover during your cleaning, we can often replace it same visit with parts sized for your prefabricated system. No return trip, no “we’ll call you when it comes in.” The materials are here, the price is written before we start, and the work is warrantied.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Roswell Homes
- Shared chases in dense subdivisions. In Horseshoe Bend and Willow Springs, dryer vents and factory-built fireplace flues often run through the same framed chase. A clogged or disconnected dryer vent pushes lint and humid exhaust back around the metal flue liner, accelerating rust on a component already at the end of its 30-40 year rated lifespan.
- Seized exterior dampers behind rusted chase covers. The elevated humidity from Roswell’s Chattahoochee River corridor corrodes metal chase components faster than drier inland markets. We regularly find dampers frozen shut or missing entirely, letting birds and squirrels nest in the line.
- Crushed or sagging flexible transition ducts. The builder-grade vinyl and foil ducts installed in 1980s-90s Roswell homes have hardened, cracked, or been crushed against the wall by the dryer. Airflow drops 50% or more before the homeowner notices longer dry times.
- Long vent runs with multiple elbows. Subdivision builders in Tines Valley and similar developments often routed dryer vents through attics or crawlspaces with two or three elbows to reach exterior walls. Each bend is a lint trap, and the total run length frequently exceeds IRC limits.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Roswell, GA
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Roswell runs $149-$189 for a single-story home with a straight vent run under 15 feet. Two-story homes, attic or crawlspace routing, or vents with multiple elbows typically fall in the $189-$249 range. If we need to replace a crushed transition duct with smooth aluminum, add $45-$89 depending on length and fittings. Chase cover or termination damper replacement, when rust or damage is found, ranges $120-$289 for standard prefab sizes.
What affects your price: vent run length and complexity, accessibility (crawlspace, attic, roof), condition of the transition duct, and whether the exterior termination or chase cover needs replacement. We inspect first, show you what we found, and deliver a written price before any work begins. Estimates are free. Call (470) 435-7984.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Roswell
Your home was likely built in the 1980s or 1990s with the dryer vent and factory-built fireplace flue sharing the same framed chase, a common practice in Roswell subdivisions like Horseshoe Bend and Willow Springs. When the dryer vent disconnects or blocks, exhaust spills into the chase cavity instead of outside, packing lint around the metal flue liner and restricting airflow for both systems. Call (470) 435-7984 and we’ll inspect the separation and clear both runs - estimates are free.
Roswell’s municipal code does not currently mandate a standalone dryer vent inspection at sale, but many North Fulton HOAs in subdivisions like Tines Valley require documentation of clean vents and functional exterior terminations as part of their resale packages. We provide the written condition report and photo documentation these packages require. Call (470) 435-7984 to schedule before your closing timeline tightens.
Signs include lint accumulation on the fireplace surround or inside the firebox, a musty smell from the fireplace when the dryer runs, and the exterior damper remaining still during dryer operation. In one Tines Valley home we visited, the homeowner reported two-cycle drying and a faint burning smell; we found the transition duct crushed and the exterior flap seized shut behind a rusted chase cover, dumping exhaust directly into the chase. If you suspect this, stop using the dryer and call (470) 435-7984 - the heat and moisture accelerate rust on the flue liner and create fire risk.
Yes, and we recommend it for most Roswell homes because of how frequently the two systems share a chase. Our technician cleans the full dryer vent run, replaces the transition duct if needed, then performs a Level 2 chimney inspection with camera scan of the flue liner to document any moisture or rust damage from shared exhaust exposure. You receive one written price for both services, one set of documentation, and one 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (470) 435-7984 to book.
Not directly, unless your vents share a termination point or chase wall, which does occur in some attached Roswell townhome developments. More commonly, the concern is lint accumulation on your siding or windows, or the neighbor’s vent creating a moisture zone that affects shared building materials. If you’re in a attached property and suspect cross-ventilation, we can inspect both termination points and advise on proper separation. Call (470) 435-7984 for a free evaluation.
