Expert Dryer Vent Inspection Services in Knoxville, TN

A dryer vent inspection from 865 Duct & Dryer Vent Cleaning gives Knoxville homeowners a clear picture of what is happening inside their vent system. Our technicians check the full run of the vent line, from the back of the dryer to the exterior exhaust point. We look for lint buildup, crushed or kinked sections, disconnected joints, and blocked vent covers. We also check for bird or pest nests, which are common in East Tennessee homes where exterior vents face wooded lots or open soffits. Many Knoxville homes, especially older builds in established neighborhoods, have long vent runs with multiple elbows. These layouts trap lint faster and restrict airflow more than a short, straight run. After the inspection, we walk you through exactly what we found and what your system needs. If cleaning or repairs are needed, we explain your options clearly. Call 865 Duct & Dryer Vent Cleaning to schedule your dryer vent inspection in Knoxville today.

Lucas did an amazing job cleaning and upgrading my dryer vent and exterior vent cover. From start to finish, he explained the entire process and took the time to answer all of my questions. He was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly takes pride in his work. What impressed me most was his attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure everything was done correctly and that I was completely satisfied with the finished product. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and I now have peace of mind knowing my dryer vent system is clean, safe, and functioning properly. Lucas is an all-around great guy, and his outstanding customer service made the experience even better. I highly recommend The Dryer Vent Guy and will definitely be recommending Lucas and the company to my friends and family. Thank you for a job well done!

We clearly needed this service. Jackson was our technician, and he was great! professional, thorough, and communicative. It was reassuring to see the amount of debris removed from our dryer vents. The team shared helpful, concrete information, including pressure readings before and after the cleaning, as well as a written report with images and practical recommendations to improve our dryer setup (e.g., replacing the duct and adding a vent protector to prevent birds or pests). The service was well worth the reasonable cost. Image is just a little of what was removed from our vents!

We called the Dryer Vent Guys as our dryer was not drying the clothes properly. Jackson arrived and inspected the system. It could not be cleaned as a repair was needed. The cost was $129 for inspection, photos, video & travel. Jackson returned and replaced the air vent with a dryer jack vent and cleaned the system. The cost was $899 for repairs, cleaning, travel, video and photos. Jackson was extremely easy to work with and had great communication skills. He arrived on time and is very detailed in his documentation.

I had a fantastic experience with The Dryer Vent Guys! My technician, Bobby R., was professional from start to finish. He handled the inspection, cleaning, and repair work with total expertise. What I appreciated most was how he explained every step of the process before he started and took the time to answer all of my questions. He was incredibly friendly and made sure I understood the 'why' behind the work. I’ll definitely be using them for all my vent cleaning services moving forward. Highly recommend Bobby! I wish all service-based companies were like this!!

I recently had my dryer vent cleaned by Jackson, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and clearly knowledgeable about his work. He took the time to explain the process, and made sure everything was thoroughly cleaned and functioning efficiently. What really stood out was his attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right. He didn’t rush—he made sure every part of the vent system was properly addressed. Jackson is not only skilled but also friendly and respectful of my home, leaving the area spotless when he was finished. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of dryer vent cleaning. Reliable, honest, and thorough—exactly the kind of service you hope for.
