Lint-clogged dryer vents cause thousands of house fires each year, drive up utility bills, and force appliances to work harder than they should. Homeowners across Salem want the job done quickly, safely, and at a fair price. Residential contractors want a quoting process that is just as fast. CountBricks delivers both. By combining on-site voice capture with real-time materials and labor databases, CountBricks generates accurate dryer vent cleaning Salem Oregon estimates in minutes and converts them into professional invoices before you leave the driveway.
Fire Hazard • Lint is highly flammable and accumulates rapidly in ductwork.
Energy Waste • A blocked vent forces longer drying cycles, raising energy costs by up to 30%.
Appliance Wear • Overheating shortens the life of heating elements, belts, and bearings.
Poor Indoor Air Quality • Moisture and lint backdraft into living spaces, fostering mold growth.
