In a city known for fog, salt-laden breezes, and tightly packed housing, keeping building systems running safely is never optional. Among the most overlooked yet mission-critical tasks is regular dryer vent cleaning. CountBricks delivers a smart, construction-grade solution that protects Bay Area homes from fire risk, improves energy efficiency, and extends appliance life—all while giving homeowners instant, AI-generated cost clarity.
Lint is highly flammable. According to fire marshals, clogged vents remain a top cause of residential fires. In San Francisco’s high-value housing stock, a small spark can translate into immense loss.
A blocked vent forces dryers to run longer cycles, wasting electricity that already costs more in California. A quick clean restores optimal airflow and trims monthly bills.
Trapped humid air can seep back into walls and crawl spaces, promoting mold—an especially big concern in San Francisco’s damp microclimates.
Dryer vent cleaning may sound simple, yet true cost depends on vent length, roof or exterior wall terminations, and accessibility in older Victorian layouts. CountBricks solves the guesswork by turning a short voice conversation into a line-item estimate that includes:
• Labor hours based on vent length and complexity
• Materials such as high-flexible brush kits, lint capture bags, and termination caps
• Access equipment for multi-story or rooftop units
• Safety provisions for confined spaces and steep roof pitches
Traditional service firms rely on manual site visits and generic pricing tables. CountBricks leverages construction-grade AI to produce an on-the-spot estimate tailored to your exact home layout.
• Voice-to-estimate: Talk to our AI assistant from your laundry room, and watch a scoped proposal build in real time
• Live material pricing: APIs pull current Bay Area labor and material costs every few seconds
• Auto-generated quote documents: Instantly share a polished PDF or e-signature contract with family decision-makers

A Pacific Heights homeowner contacted CountBricks after noticing scorching temperatures on her 15-year-old dryer. Within five minutes of voice input, our AI flagged a 28-foot vent run with two 90-degree bends—classic fire-risk geometry.
• The platform generated a $289 line-item estimate covering labor, a rooftop access kit, and new rigid duct sections
• The homeowner approved digitally, triggering same-week scheduling
• On site, our technician removed nearly four pounds of compacted lint, installed a backdraft damper, and documented a 32 % airflow improvement
• Post-clean photos and airflow metrics automatically populated the client’s CountBricks portal, ready for any future home appraisal
Because CountBricks maintains a holistic view of residential construction, the AI also suggested optional upgrades:
• Insulating an adjacent hot-water line to reclaim closet space
• Sealing a small rim-joist gap discovered during the crawl-space inspection
• Updating the service panel breaker to a modern AFCI/GFCI combo for enhanced safety
Each add-on came with a real-time price breakout, letting the homeowner bundle tasks while the crew and equipment were already mobilized.
• Install a CountBricks smart airflow monitor that alerts you when static pressure spikes
• Position the dryer six inches from the wall to prevent hose kinks
• Run the dryer on “air fluff” for five minutes monthly to blow loose lint toward the trap
• Vacuum behind the appliance every quarter to capture dust bunnies and pet fur
• Schedule a CountBricks annual safety audit that bundles electrical, plumbing, and vent inspections into one cost-effective visit
