Understand the work
Some chimney sweep companies also clean dryer vents. The dryer exhaust path is separate from the chimney, but lint accumulation and restricted airflow deserve attention. Tell the contractor whether the vent exits through a wall or roof and whether you know the approximate run length.
Ask whether the service covers the duct from the appliance connection to the exterior termination, how the dryer is moved and reconnected, and what is checked after cleaning. If the duct is crushed, damaged or poorly routed, cleaning alone may not solve the problem.
Use the same description with more than one chimney sweep contractor or company. Ask for the scope and any exclusions in writing before comparing prices.

Lint buildup, long or bent runs, crushed ducting and blocked terminations can restrict airflow.
No. Ask the contractor to report damage and quote any repair separately.
It should identify the run cleaned, termination checked and any limitations or concerns.
