Dryer Vent Cleaning

Most dryer vents should be cleaned every 1-2 years. This depends on the length of your vent, how many twists and turns, and how often the dryer is used every week. Dryers that have short vents and little usage may be able to go longer than normal before being cleaned.

Benefits of dryer vent cleaning

• Helps prevent the possibility of a fire or dangerous monoxide gas in your home.
• Allows your dryer to operate more efficiently, using less energy and saving you money.
• Protects dryers from excess wear and premature death.
• Helps clothes dry faster, a time saving tool for busy families.
• Reduces excess household dust and humidity.
• Helps preserve clothing, as the life of many fabrics is damaged by excessive high heat.

We often see the white vinyl type vent coming out the back of 90% of dryers we service. This type of vent pipe is highly flammable and causes dangerous fumes when burning. If the lint catches on fire while the dryer is running it can blow flames into the vent pipe, catching the vinyl connector between the dryer and wall on fire. It can also blow flaming balls of lint around in the area where the dryer sits and behind the Sheetrock behind the dryer which can cause the fire to spread faster.

We can replace this old white vinyl material with the new flame resistant silver UL listed flex. The washer/dryer area is one place we recommend putting a smoke detector to provide early warning about smoke or fire in this area.

In addition, most members are equipped to completely replace an old unsafe vent system with new rigid sheet metal vents or metal flexible vents where needed in most cases.
