Duct Cleaning & Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sunnyvale, CA
Upgrade Home Services cleaned the air ducts and the dryer vent at a Sunnyvale, CA home in a project shared in March 2026. During the duct cleaning, our technician found the dryer vent duct had come loose and was spreading lint through the crawl space, so we cleaned the vent, reattached it, secured and sealed it, then tested for proper airflow.
Why did this Sunnyvale home need duct and dryer vent cleaning?
The homeowner wanted routine care for the HVAC ductwork and the dryer vent. Keeping both clean helps airflow, energy efficiency and home safety. During the visit, our technician also found a problem: the dryer vent duct had become disconnected and was letting lint spread through the crawl space.
What did we do?
- Air duct cleaning. We cleaned the duct system, removing built-up dust and debris to improve airflow and HVAC performance.
- Dryer vent cleaning. We cleared the lint from the dryer vent.
- Reattaching the dryer duct. We reconnected the loose duct, then secured and sealed it so lint stays inside the vent.
- Testing. We checked for proper airflow and safe operation.
Lint buildup and a disconnected vent can lower dryer efficiency and raise the risk of a dryer fire, so they are worth fixing as soon as they are found.
What was the result?
With the cleaning and repair finished, the ducts move air freely, the dryer vent carries lint outside where it belongs, and the homeowner has a more efficient system and a safer home. We provide duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning in Sunnyvale and across the Bay Area to keep home systems working well year-round.

Duct and dryer vent questions
Can you clean the air ducts and dryer vent on the same visit?
Yes. In this Sunnyvale home, we did both on one visit, and found and fixed a disconnected dryer duct along the way.
How do I know my dryer vent is clogged or loose?
Longer drying times are a common sign. Lint collecting in places it shouldn’t, such as a crawl space, can mean the vent duct has come loose.
