New York’s brownstones, loft conversions, and compact apartment stacks create one universal challenge: lint-choked dryer vents that threaten fire safety and energy efficiency. CountBricks combines field-tested construction know-how with real-time AI estimating to make dryer vent cleaning in New York simple, transparent, and fully documented for homeowners, co-op boards, and property managers.
New Yorkers do more laundry per square foot than almost any other city. When lint builds up inside long vent runs or shared chases, exhaust temperature rises and the blower motor strains. The National Fire Protection Association lists clogged dryer systems as a leading cause of residential fires—an even bigger risk in multifamily structures where flames can spread vertically in minutes.
CountBricks addresses three pain points immediately:
• Fire prevention through thorough lint and debris removal
• Lower utility costs thanks to restored airflow and shorter dry cycles
• Longer appliance life, avoiding emergency service calls and premature replacement
Traditional vent cleaning quotes can take days. With CountBricks voice-enabled estimating software, our technician captures vent length, number of bends, roof or wall termination type, and equipment access in real time. The AI engine cross-references current material and labor rates for your New York borough and instantly generates a line-item estimate on the spot. No clipboard guessing—just transparent pricing you can approve with a tap.

Length of Vent Run – Every additional foot adds brush time and debris capture.
Height and Accessibility – Sixth-floor walk-ups require more labor than ground-level garden units.
Material Type – Transitioning from foil-flex to rigid metal may involve partial demolition and wall repair.
Permit Requirements – Landmark districts sometimes mandate exterior vent hood approvals.
• Empty the lint screen before every load and inspect for tears
• Avoid overdrying; modern units with moisture sensors reduce lint production
• Do monthly vacuum passes behind the dryer to capture runaway lint
• Replace foil or plastic vent connectors with rigid aluminized steel
• Schedule annual CountBricks airflow tests—more often if you dry pet bedding or heavy fabrics
A Park Slope homeowner complained of three-cycle drying times. Our AI estimation revealed a 32-foot vent with four 90-degree elbows—far beyond code recommendations. CountBricks proposed shortening the run, replacing elbows with long-turn fittings, and adding an exterior booster fan. The homeowner approved the quote on-site; our crew completed the work and cleaning in one day, cutting dry time by 40 %. View similar results at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
