Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.
Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Old Greenwich
Dryer vent cleaning in Old Greenwich typically runs $180-$340 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs take two to three hours from arrival to final photo. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews work the shoreline blocks off Sound Beach Avenue, the Capes and Colonials near Greenwich Point Road, and the full stretch of Old Greenwich between Riverside and the Sound. Dispatch is coordinated from our Hartford office, but the technician who arrives at your door knows the local housing stock: the 1920s-1960s builds with original galvanized plenums, the piecemeal flex-duct additions, and the sediment that still turns up in vent runs years after Sandy. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate, or read on to see exactly what we find in Old Greenwich homes and what it costs to fix it right.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Old Greenwich’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our Dryer Vent Cleaning team has worked enough Old Greenwich homes to know the difference between a routine lint pull and a run that needs real repair. Homeowners here tell us the same thing: the last crew ran a brush through, collected some lint, and left the flex duct still sagging in the crawl space.
That doesn’t happen on our watch. Every visit starts with a written price before any work starts. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values: shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment they walk in, quiet tools during nap hours, and pet-safe product choices where available. We bring Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, not rental-grade shop vacs, and every completed job includes a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every invoice: if it’s not right, we make it right.

Dryer Vent Installation in Old Greenwich
Dryer Vent Installation in Old Greenwich is often the real solution when a 1940s shingled Cape or 1950s Colonial has a flex-duct patch job connecting to an original galvanized plenum with no proper pitch, no seal, and no structural integrity left. A typical full replacement in Old Greenwich runs $450-$850 depending on run length, access, and whether we need to open a wall or floor cavity. We see this most often in homes where the laundry room was moved from the basement to a first-floor closet or addition, and the vent run was extended with whatever materials were on the truck that day.
When Installation Beats Repair
If your dryer vent run has more than two transitions, exceeds 25 feet equivalent length, or passes through an unconditioned crawl space with no insulation, we will tell you straight: repair is a Band-Aid and installation is the fix. In Old Greenwich’s older homes, we routinely find runs that were never code-compliant to begin with, pieced together across decades by different owners. We install rigid metal duct with proper pitch toward the exterior, sealed joints, and a termination hood that actually opens under dryer airflow.
What the Job Includes
We protect your floors with drop cloths, scope the full run with a camera so you see what we see, and give you a written price before cutting anything. Our crews carry Guardsman and Rotobrush components, and we stock common fittings so most Old Greenwich jobs finish same-day. The photo of your clean, reinstalled run arrives before we pull out of the driveway.
Dryer Vent Repair in Old Greenwich
Dryer Vent Repair in Old Greenwich covers the specific failures we find in this market: rusted termination flaps seized shut by salt air, flex duct crushed or disconnected in crawl spaces, and joints between original galvanized and later flex additions that leak lint into wall cavities. A typical repair runs $280-$520, with simpler fixes like cap replacement or reconnection at the low end, and joint rebuilds or partial rigid replacement at the high end. We don’t quote until we’ve run the camera.
Salt-Air Corrosion and Seized Hardware
The Long Island Sound pushes salt spray well inland into Old Greenwich, and exterior vent caps, flaps, and screws corrode faster here than in central Greenwich or Stamford. A rusted-shut termination hood doesn’t just block airflow; it forces the dryer to work harder, extending dry times and driving up your electric bill. We replace with marine-grade hardware where appropriate and pitch the hood to shed water.
Disconnected Runs in Crawl Spaces
Old Greenwich’s slab-on-grade and crawl-space foundations, especially in the low-lying blocks near Sound Beach Avenue, leave dryer vent runs vulnerable to settling, moisture, and rodent activity. We find disconnected flex duct spilling lint directly into crawl spaces more often than you’d think. Our repair includes proper support, sealed connections, and a camera-verified airflow test before we call it done.
Trusted Brands We Service in Old Greenwich
Our trucks carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman, plus HEPA filtration and negative-pressure containment from Abatement Technologies. We don’t rent. We own our gear, maintain it to manufacturer spec, and stock common repair parts so Old Greenwich homeowners aren’t waiting on a second trip. The Rotobrush system we use for agitation cleaning breaks up compacted lint and sediment that a straight vacuum will never touch, and the Nikro negative-air machines keep any disturbed debris out of your living space during the job. When we recommend a repair or replacement, we’re specifying components we’ve installed enough times to know how they hold up in Connecticut’s coastal conditions.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Old Greenwich Homes
- Sandy-era sediment in shoreline vent runs. The low-lying streets off Sound Beach Avenue near Greenwich Point Road still hold homes whose crawl spaces took on water during Sandy in 2012, and salt-laden sediment that reached the HVAC system often migrated into dryer vent runs and flex duct, leaving rust-staining and gritty deposits our techs find years later. A standard lint brush won’t touch it; agitation tools and HEPA-contained negative pressure will.
- Original galvanized plenums with piecemeal flex additions. The 1920s-1960s housing stock common to Old Greenwich frequently has a rigid galvanized main trunk with later flex-duct extensions cobbled on, creating joints with no proper pitch or seal. Lint collects at the transition, the run looks “clean” from the laundry room, and the homeowner wonders why clothes still take two cycles.
- Persistent humidity keeping runs damp. The Sound generates summer humidity that lingers in Old Greenwich’s unconditioned crawl spaces long after inland Fairfield County has dried out. Damp lint clumps instead of blowing clear, so a one-pass vacuum without agitation misses most of the load. We see this in Capes and Tudors with vent runs passing through exterior walls or crawl spaces.
- Crushed or sagging flex in relocated laundry rooms. When Old Greenwich homeowners move the laundry from basement to first floor, the vent run often gets extended with whatever flex was available, routed through floor cavities with tight bends and no support. The duct sags, collects water and lint, and eventually blocks completely. Camera inspection finds it every time.

A Sandy-impacted shoreline home with sediment-compacted lint, corroded hardware, and a flex-to-galvanized joint that needs rebuilding sits higher.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Old Greenwich
The persistent humidity off Long Island Sound keeps unconditioned crawl spaces and exterior wall cavities damper here than even a few miles inland, so lint clumps and sticks instead of blowing clear. Salt-laden air also corrodes exterior caps and flaps, which seize partially open and restrict airflow, making the dryer work harder and deposit more lint in the run. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
You probably wouldn’t without a camera inspection. Our techs working the blocks closest to Greenwich Point Road and the Sound Beach Avenue corridor routinely find duct interiors with fine gritty sediment and rust-staining consistent with past salt-water flooding, and homeowners are often unaware the post-Sandy water that entered their crawl space ever reached the ductwork. If your home flooded and you’ve never had the full vent run scoped, it’s worth doing. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Usually replacement. The joint between rigid galvanized and flex duct is almost always unsealed, improperly pitched, and a lint trap by design. We can sometimes rebuild the connection with a proper transition fitting and support, but if the flex is sagging, crushed, or extended beyond 25 feet equivalent length, we will recommend full rigid replacement. We run the camera first and show you before we quote. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Every 12-18 months for most homes, but every 9-12 months if your vent run passes through a crawl space or exterior wall, if you dry a lot of pet bedding or heavy cotton, or if your home was impacted by Sandy-era flooding. The combination of humidity, salt air, and older duct construction here accelerates buildup compared to drier, newer markets. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
We bring HEPA-contained negative pressure on every job. Our Nikro negative-air machines and Abatement Technologies filtration are standard equipment, not upgrades. In Old Greenwich’s older homes with original plaster, lead paint considerations, and tight crawl spaces, containing disturbed debris is non-negotiable. The “shop vac and a brush” approach is exactly what leaves homeowners finding lint dust on their furniture for weeks. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
