Dryer Vent Cleaning
Your dryer vent is another important area to inspect in your home because dirt and lint stays inside your dryer and vent even after you’ve cleared the lint trap. Lint will build up in the dryer, transition duct and exhaust duct which can reduce airflow and create a dangerous situation leading to overheating, dryer inefficiencies, and in some cases, fires. When moisture cannot escape, due to this build up, it will invite mold and bacteria build up. By cleaning your dryer vent, we can help ensure your clothes dryer is both safe and energy efficient!
Lint is one of the most flammable items in your home. In the Topical Fire Report Series, the US Fire Administration’s National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) states that 84% of dryer fires were found in residential dwellings. The cause for these fires is such a simple fix; proper maintenance and cleaning of your dryer vent. With estimates of 15,500 US home fires being contributed to dirty dryer vents, it is more important than ever to get your dryer vent inspected and serviced.
