DRYER VENT CLEANING
Did you know the clothes dryer in your home could start a fire?
Let us help you avoid a household hazard with dryer vent cleaning. Dryer vents are extremely important in any residential or commercial property with a laundry facility. These vents allow dryers to exhaust hot, moist air to the outside, which in turn, prevents heat buildup inside your home or office building and allows the dryer to operate at peak efficiency. Dirty dryer vents are a major source of energy waste and a serious fire hazard.
HOW DOES LINT ACCUMULATE IN THE DRYER VENT?
Contrary to popular belief, dryer lint traps don’t catch all of the lint generated during a laundry cycle. A third of the lint generated makes it past the filters, and ends up inside your dryer vent. Inside the vent, that lint combines with moist, hot air to create a mixture that clings to the inside of your dryer vent. That lint mixture builds up over time, leading to problems.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KEEP YOUR DRYER VENTS CLEAN
Your dryer isn’t designed to work against a clogged dryer vent. If dryer vents are not regularly cleaned, a variety of negative impacts can present themselves:
A clogged dryer vent resists the flow of exhaust. This causes the dryer to get hotter than it’s designed to, placing undue stress on every component inside the dryer. This can lead to a shortened appliance lifespan and increased repair costs.
A dirty dryer vent keeps the dryer from operating at peak efficiency. Every time you have to re-start a dryer to finish drying laundry, excess energy is used.
The excess heat resulting from uncleaned dryer vents is particularly dangerous because it can cause a dryer to catch fire without warning. Dryer fires can spread through dryer vents and laundry facilities extremely fast, and occur in homes and businesses thousands of times every year.
