About Dryer Vent Cleaning
Lint is the leading cause of home dryer fires, and rowhouse vent runs — long, winding, and often shared-wall — trap more of it than most. Brickline cleans the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior hood, restoring airflow, cutting dry times, and removing the fire risk you can't see.
Price: $100–$200 · Duration: 45–90 minutes

Why Rowhouse Vents Clog Faster
Many DMV rowhouse dryer vents run 20+ feet with multiple elbows before reaching the exterior — every bend is a lint trap. Annual cleaning keeps airflow up, dry times down, and the fire risk off the table for about the price of a dinner out.

Reviews
What the Neighbors Say
“They matched the mortar on our 1918 rowhouse perfectly. You can't tell where the repair starts. Flat quote, no surprises, brick dust swept off the sidewalk when they left.”
Laura B.
Capitol Hill, DC
“Two other companies told us to tear the chimney down. Brickline rebuilt the top four courses with reclaimed brick and it looks original. Historic review board approved it without a note.”
James O.
Old Town Alexandria, VA
“Sweep and Level 2 inspection before we bought the house. The photo report caught a cracked flue tile the general inspector missed. Worth every dollar of the $250.”
Priya N.
Bethesda, MD
“The $189 sweep is actually $189. Drop cloths everywhere, HEPA vacuum running the whole time, written report with photos before they left. Booking again next fall.”
Marcus T.
Petworth, DC
“Water had been getting into the firebox for two winters. They found the cracked crown in one visit, quoted it flat, and fixed it in an afternoon. Dry ever since.”
Ellen W.
Silver Spring, MD
“No upsells, no scare tactics. The mason who quoted the repointing was the one on the roof doing it. That alone puts them ahead of everyone else we called.”
