Dryer Vent
Cleaning
Dryer vent cleaning improves the safety and efficiency of
your dryer installation. As dryer vents become filled with
lint and other debris, drying time increases and can cause
the dryer itself to overheat. This increases energy
consumption since the dryer has to run longer to dry your
clothes and can also cause fires in the dryer or the dryer
duct. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports dryer
related home fires are on the increase. CPSC figures show
that in 1997 there were 16,800 dryer fires which caused 30
deaths, 430 injuries and 97.3 million dollars in property
damage. |
 If
you have noticed that your dryer is running longer than it
used to you may need to have the dryer vent cleaned. Some
dryer vents are relatively short and straight and can be
cleaned easily by the homeowner, but others aren’t that easy
and may require the use of special tools and equipment. We
have tools specifically designed to clean dryer vents and
with these tools we are able to do a thorough job of
cleaning even the most difficult installations. While dryer
vents are routinely blocked with lint, animal nesting is
also another frequent cause of dryer vent blockage and our
equipment allows us to remove these blockages as well.
Another problem created by blocked dryer vents serving gas
dryers is the possibility of carbon monoxide seepage into
your home. If the dryer is not exhausting properly to the
outdoors, CO can back up into the home.
Fires can occur when lint builds up in the dryer or in the
exhaust duct. Lint can block the flow of air, cause
excessive heat build-up, and result in a fire in some
dryers. |

Reasons for inspection
and cleaning:
- Reduces chance of dryer
vent fire. When the dryer is used, over time lint will
collect and adhere to the inside of the dryer vent
walls. The larger the buildup, the larger the risk of
having a dryer vent fire.
- Reduces "wasted
electricity" and "appliance stress". Use of a dryer with
a dirty vent can cause the dryer to run longer to dry
the same amount of clothes because the hot air being
expelled cannot freely exit the vent. Longer drying time
takes more electricity and puts added stress on the
appliance.
- Metal connector
requirements. All connection pieces to the dryer vents
should be inspected to make sure they are properly
attached and up to the newer building code requirements.
Regular maintenance will keep the dryer vent clean and
the dryer working properly.

What we do:
Depending on what type of dryer you have - stackable,
side-by-side, gas or electric - and how your dryer is vented
- through the wall, up through the roof, across the inside
of the ceiling, etc. - the basic procedure is the same.
Our service technician will come inside and unhook the
connection piece that goes between the dryer and the vent.
We'll run the vent cleaning equipment from the dryer side
out to the end of the vent while using a industrial type air
blowing motor. Once the cleaning equipment has traveled the
length of the vent enough times to thoroughly clean the
vent, we'll clean out the connection piece, reattach your
dryer and recheck the vent while your dryer is operating.
