Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryer vent cleaning improves the safety and efficiency of your dryer. As dryer vents become filled with lint and debris, drying time can increases and cause the dryer to overheat or even catch on fire. This increases energy consumption as the dryer has to run longer to dry your clothes and can also cause fires in the dryer or the dryer duct. Because consumers are using dryers more often then hanging clothes out to dry, The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports dryer related home fires are on the rise.

If your dryer is running longer to dry a load of clothes, you may need your dryer vent cleaned. Another important concern to those with a gas dryer, you may have carbon monoxide seeping into your home if it is even partially plugged. If the fumes from the dryer are blocked from going outside, they could be venting back into your home. This coupled along with the chances of a fire is a dangerous situation that is easily corrected with regular maintenance of the system.

Our technicians are CSIA Certified Dryer Exhaust Technicians. They have the proper training, tools and knowledge to remove lint and debris to ensure your system is running efficiently and safely. Measuring the dryer vent air velocity before and after the cleaning process, helps determine the effectiveness of the cleaning. The air velocity reading ensures your dryer duct installation does not exceed recommended limits and is clear of any lint or debris. We can also recommend how often your dryer vent should be cleaned depending on the build up.

The more you use your dryer, the more often you should have the dryer vent serviced. If it has been some time since you last had your dryer vent serviced, it is greatly recommended you have this checked. The low cost of this service can prevent a larger loss if it catches your home on fire.
