Quick answer
Clear Vent provides dryer vent cleaning in Prior Lake, Minnesota for a flat $139 (wall or ground-level vent) or $199 (roof vent), with no trip charge. The service includes full-length rotary brush cleaning, exterior cap clearing, transition hose check and a before/after airflow reading. Most Prior Lake homes need it once a year; roof-vented homes every 6–12 months.
Lakeside homes and newer subdivisions both tend to have long vertical runs through the roof. Humidity near the lake makes damp lint pack harder.
Vent types: Roof vents dominate.

Humid exhaust freezes on contact with a cold cap. Light frost is normal; thick ice that blocks the flapper means airflow is too slow to clear the moisture, which points to lint buildup.
Look outside for a vent cap near your dryer's side of the house. If there is no 4-inch cap on any exterior wall and your laundry is on an upper floor or an interior wall, look at the roof for a small hooded cap, usually gray or black. During booking we show animated pictures of both so you can pick.
Yes, when roof pitch and weather allow. We clear the cap, remove any screen or nest, and run the brush down from the top while vacuuming at the dryer. On very steep or icy roofs we clean from inside with an extended rod system and inspect the cap with a camera.
It is allowed by code and common in two-story homes, but it is the highest-maintenance vent type. We recommend cleaning roof vents every 6–12 months and replacing screened caps with a louvered dryer-specific cap.
