​The importance of dryer vent cleaning

 

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 15,000 fires are sparked every year by clothes dryers. Lint and other debris can build up in your dryer vent, reducing air flow to the dryer, backing up dryer exhaust gases, creating a fire hazard. Lint is created from the clothes as water is removed during the drying process. This lint will build up in crevices deep down in the lint filter and inside the dryer vent.
 
Here is how we can keep your home safe: 
 

  1.  We run the dryer to determine how much air flow is going through your dryer vent. Once we determine the air flow we begin the cleaning process utilizing either or compressed air, brushes or special tools designed for dryer vent cleaning from the outside.  Cleaning from the outside allows us to feel and measure the airflow. 

  2. We remove and clean the lint filter and clean out the lint filter chamber inside the dryer. 

  3. We then pull your dryer from the wall and clean up any debris that may have fallen and accumulated behind your dryer.  

  4. We inspect and clean the transition hose that connects your dryer to the wall.  

  5. We connect the transition hose to the dryer and run the dryer to make sure everything is working properly. 

 
A professional dryer vent cleaning service takes between 45 min to 1.5 hours, depending on the amount of lint build up.
