Why Ashwood Chimney Sweep Is Tujunga’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company

Norm Castillo started Ashwood Chimney Sweep to handle flues and vents the way they actually run in older foothill homes, not the way textbook illustrations show them. Tujunga’s housing stock is full of 1920s – 1960s bungalows and cabin-style builds where the dryer vent and the fireplace flue often share wall cavities, chase spaces, or in some cases the same masonry stack. That’s not a standard scenario, and it’s exactly the kind of thing we look for on every job.

Our reputation in Tujunga comes from the inspection reports and camera footage we hand over without being asked. We don’t recommend a repair we can’t show you. When we run a camera through a vent run, you see what we see: the lint block, the corroded joint, the gap where the pipe separated inside the wall. That transparency matters more in Tujunga because so many homes sit in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. A vent that would just be an efficiency problem in Burbank is a fire-risk defect here.

We’re based in Fontana but we route up the 210 to Tujunga weekly. If you’re off Foothill or up one of the canyon roads like Haines Canyon or Big Tujunga Canyon Road, we know the streets, the older construction patterns, and the wind exposure. One call handles chimney sweeping, dryer vent cleaning, and chimney repair, so you’re not juggling three different contractors when the inspection turns up something beyond lint.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Tujunga

Dryer Vent Cleaning

A full dryer vent cleaning in Tujunga runs $149 – $229 for most single-story homes with a standard outside termination. We pull the dryer, brush the entire run from both ends, and vacuum the lint out of the vent and the dryer cavity. On the older bungalows we see along the side streets off Foothill, the vent runs are often longer and have more elbows than modern code allows, so we spend the extra time clearing every bend rather than just the first few feet. Dryer Vent Cleaning is one of our three core service lines, and we treat it with the same seriousness as chimney work because lint is fuel.

Level 2 Inspection

If your Tujunga home has a dryer vent that enters a masonry chimney, a visual once-over isn’t enough. A Level 2 inspection gets a camera into the flue to check for lint accumulation, cracked clay tiles, and gaps where the vent might be dumping lint into the chimney chase instead of outside. Homes in the 91042 and 91043 ZIP codes often have original unlined masonry flues, and we won’t clear a vent attached to one of those without first seeing what the camera shows. This usually runs $199 – $349 depending on access and run length.

Camera Inspection

In Tujunga, we use camera inspection on nearly every dryer vent job that involves a shared flue, a long horizontal run, or a vent termination we can’t easily reach from the ground. The camera shows us blocked screens, separated pipe joints, and lint that’s escaped into wall cavities. We record the footage and show it to you before recommending anything. That’s the whole point: no one should be told they need a new liner or a significant repipe on faith.

Dryer Vent Liner Installation

When a Tujunga homeowner has a dryer vent running through an old unlined masonry flue, the right fix is usually a dedicated dryer vent liner. We stock DuraFlex liner systems for this exact situation. The liner gives the lint-charged air a smooth, continuous metal path to the outside instead of letting it tumble into a rough masonry cavity where it can accumulate behind dampers and along old mortar joints. We install the liner, verify it’s properly sized, and terminate it outside with a code-compliant vent hood.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tujunga

The materials we use on dryer vent and chimney work in Tujunga come from the professional trade supply chain, not the retail shelf. We install DuraFlex liner systems, source venting components through Famco, and pull chimney repair materials from Olympia Chimney and Copperfield. These are the brands certified chimney contractors specify on permitted jobs. When a Tujunga homeowner needs a dedicated dryer vent liner or a replacement vent hood after a wind event, we already have the right hardware on the truck, not a generic substitute from a big-box store.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Tujunga Homes

• Shared flues with hidden lint paths. On 1950s cabins and older bungalows along the canyon edges, dryer vents sometimes transition into an old masonry flue that also served a fireplace. Lint builds up behind the damper where you can’t see it, and the first sign is often a dryer that takes two cycles to finish a load. That’s a fire path, not a nuisance.
• Wind-packed vent screens. Santa Ana events drive dried oak leaves, eucalyptus bark, and fine debris directly into exterior vent terminations. We routinely find screens so packed that the dryer is venting into the laundry room instead of outside. In a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, a clogged vent screen is a flagged defect.
• Separated vent joints inside old wall cavities. Original 1920s – 1960s construction in Tujunga often used thin-gauge pipe with friction-fit joints. After decades of vibration and thermal cycling, those joints separate inside the wall. Lint escapes into the building envelope and the vent loses its draft. The camera shows the gap, and the fix is a proper repipe with sealed joints.
• Long runs with too many elbows. Homes built before dryer vent code updates often have vents that run 25 feet or more with three or four elbows. Each bend is a lint trap. The dryer works harder, runs hotter, and the vent loads up faster than it should. We measure total run length and elbow count on every cleaning and tell you honestly if the vent needs a re-route.
