Why Milwaukee homeowners need vent cleaning

Milwaukee's brutal winters — averaging 52 inches of snow and months below freezing — make it one of the heaviest dryer-use metros in the country. From October through April, dryers run constantly, generating enormous amounts of lint. That's over half the year of intense, daily dryer operation.

Milwaukee's housing stock is heavily weighted toward pre-war construction, with thousands of bungalows, Cape Cods, and two-flats built in the early-to-mid 1900s. These homes often have original vent systems with outdated materials and tight routing through walls. Lake Michigan's humidity adds moisture that makes lint sticky and harder to remove.

  • Brutal Wisconsin winters — 6+ months of below-freezing temps mean extreme daily dryer use
  • Heavy pre-war housing stock — thousands of homes with original, outdated dryer vent systems
  • Lake Michigan humidity — moisture creates sticky lint buildup that's harder to remove
  • Two-flat and duplex construction — shared buildings with multiple dryers need extra maintenance

What Milwaukee homeowners say

Real reviews from families across the Milwaukee metro area.

★★★★★
"Our Bay View bungalow is almost 100 years old. The dryer vent was basically solid lint. After cleaning, our dryer went from 90-minute cycles back to 40 minutes. The energy savings alone make it worth it every year."

"We own a two-flat in Riverwest and both units needed vent cleaning. The techs were efficient, cleaned both in under 2 hours, and found a disconnected section that was venting lint into the wall. Scary stuff — glad we called."
