Dryer Vent Cleaning
Service Benefits

Much like when dirty air ducts need cleaning and can reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system, a similar effect is achieved when dryer duct vents need cleaning. Clogged dryer vent systems mean trouble. Even a slightly obstructed dryer vent can cause your dryer to work significantly harder than a clean dryer vent.

If you are looking to reduce drying time, save money on utility bills, and better protect your clothes we recommend frequent cleaning for your vents.

You will notice that your drying times take much longer than they should, which means energy efficiency is reduced, and your energy costs grow. The good news is that you can reduce your energy bill by simply removing the lint from the lint filter and having regular dryer vent cleaning done professionally.

Keep Your Dryer
Working Well

The purpose of your dryer is to remove the moisture from the washing process.

This is achieved through heat, movement, & venting — the key process being venting.

If your dryer simply tumbled and added heat, everything would overheat and there would be little opportunity for that moisture to escape the drum of your dryer. With a free and clear dryer vent, all is well. But, when there is built-up lint and debris obstructing the vent, this lint and debris can soak up the water. Bacteria and mold thrive in damp and warm environments, and will negatively affect your indoor air quality.

It is also important to note that lint is very flammable. Dryers have lint traps to collect the line and these traps need to be emptied regularly. The combination of lint build-up and the high heat from dryers can be a recipe for disaster as house fires can start due to neglecting to empty the lint trap or regularly performing dryer vent cleaning.

It is important to note that lint is very flammable, making dryer vent cleaning highly recommended to ensure safety. While you could buy a dryer vent cleaning kit from Home Depot or Lowes, you might want the peace of mind of having your dryer vent professionally cleaned.

Whether your equipment is in a garage or a laundry room, lint buildup is not your friend and our team knows exactly how to help you keep the dryer running efficiently.

How Your Dryer
Vent Works

It is important to have a good handle on how your equipment works. Clothes dryers have lint screens to trap the lint before entering the vent pipes. These traps and pipes should be emptied regularly.

Once the lint traps are overcome, lint will make its way into the vent pipes. The combination of lint build-up and the high heat from dryers can be a recipe for disaster as house fires can start when neglecting to empty the lint trap or vent pipes regularly.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE DRYER VENT CLEANING DONE?

Many people find that they need to clean their dryer vents a minimum of once per year. However, keep in mind that if you do more laundry, it will likely need to be cleaned more frequently, 3 or more times a year.

IS DRYER VENT CLEANING WORTH IT?

One of the leading causes of home fires in the United States is dryers. When lint slows proper air flow in the dryer vent, the machine can overheat. Not only will the machine potentially overheat, but the lint itself is very flammable and, once it builds up, the hot air from the dryer can spark the lint. Not cleaning your vents is risky and should be avoided. It will not only increase the fire risk, but can also cost you a significant amount of money by wearing out the dryer machine.

WHAT IS DRYER VENT CLEANING AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Dryer vent cleaning is the process of removing lint, dust, and other debris from your dryer vent system. Regular cleaning is crucial to maintain the efficiency of your dryer, reduce energy consumption, and most importantly, prevent potential fire hazards.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET MY DRYER VENT CLEANED?

It's generally recommended to have your dryer vent cleaned at least once a year. However, the frequency can depend on how often you use your dryer, the type of laundry you dry, and the length and design of your dryer vent system.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS THAT MY DRYER VENT NEEDS CLEANING?

Some common signs include longer drying times, a burning smell when the dryer is running, the dryer getting unusually hot, and a large amount of lint accumulation in the lint trap. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to schedule a professional dryer vent cleaning.
