DRYER VENT CLEANING

washer and dryer

Dryer fires are more of a risk today than chimney fires. The most common cause of dryer fires is neglecting to clean and clear the dryer vents. Over time dryer vents build with material preventing proper ventilation, allowing heat to build and eventually causing it to ignite.

WHEN TO HAVE YOUR DRYER VENTS CLEANED

  • Cloths are taking a long time to dry or not drying at all.

  • Excessive moisture buildup in your laundry room resulting in a high level in condensation (water collecting on walls or windows)

  • Burning smell when you open up your dryer after running a dry cycle.

Dryer vents should be cleaned annually depending on the length of the vents and ductwork itself. Lint buildup will vary for each system so keeping a close eye for warning signs is important. Contact us if you are unsure or believe your dryer vents need cleaning.
