Bird Nest Found Inside Dryer Vent Removed Same Day in Royse City, TX
When Daytona Palms, a midterm insurance rental company in Royse City that rehouses displaced families during emergencies, had a brand-new washer and dryer professionally installed, the dryer started smoking on the very first run.
They needed answers fast. Families were depending on them.
They called Lara’s Air Duct Cleaning. We were on-site in two hours.
What We Found
The dryer itself was not the problem. The vent line running up through the roof had a full bird’s nest completely blocking the exhaust cap, packed tight with straw, lint, and debris. The nest had likely been building for weeks, undetected behind the old vent cover.
When the new dryer pushed hot air through on its first cycle, it had nowhere to go. That’s what caused the smoking.
The Result
The dryer ran clean on the next cycle with no smoke, no odor, and full airflow restored. The displaced families housed at the property experienced zero further disruption.
What the Client Said
“They came out the same day, two hours after we contacted them actually, and performed a dryer vent cleaning after a thorough inspection. They got on the roof, removed a bird’s nest and then proceeded with a cleaning to fix the newly installed dryer vent issue. Definitely recommend, MUCH appreciated!”

Why This Matters for Your Home
Bird nests in dryer vents are more common in North Texas than most homeowners realize and they are one of the leading causes of dryer fires. Because the blockage happens at the roof cap, it is completely invisible from inside the home. A new appliance, a recent installation, or a sudden change in dryer performance are often the first signs something is wrong.
If your dryer is taking longer than normal to dry clothes, feels unusually hot, or you notice any burning smell, do not wait. It may not be the machine.
