Expert Dryer Vent Cleaning In poway

The Fire Risk Nobody Talks About Enough

The lint that you see in your lint filter is not the only lint that comes out of your dryer. The lint that is allowed to escape from your dryer vent poses a fire risk for your home. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, dryers are responsible for fires every year in the United States. Furthermore, the leading cause of those fires is the failure of people to routinely and properly clean their dryer vents.

Dryers generate a significant amount of heat during the dry cycle. If your dryer vent is clear of lint and debris, this heat can escape your dryer. However, if your dryer vent is clogged with lint, the heat cannot escape the dryer. Because lint is highly flammable, this can pose a fire risk for your home. This is the reason that we take the time and clean your dryer vents the way that we do.

Signs You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning

Your dryer will typically present some signs to you that there is a problem with your dryer vent. The issue is that most people tend to attribute these to the age of their dryers.

If your clothes are coming out of the dryer damp, this is one of the first indications of a problem with your dryer vent. The clogged vent will retain moisture and heat in your dryer, causing your clothes to take longer to dry.

If your dryer is noticeably hot to the touch while in use or after use, or if the laundry room in your home is warm while the dryer is operating, this could mean the heat from the dryer is not being released through the dryer vent.

A burning smell from your dryer when it is on indicates that lint is heating up inside of your dryer vent. This is a sign that the dryer vent needs to be cleaned as soon as possible.

Furthermore, if the vent hood outside of your dryer is not opening and the lint is not being properly exhausted from your dryer, this is also a sign of a potential problem with your dryer vent.

Any of these signs indicate that you should call us to have dryer vent cleaning. If you experience several of these problems, however, you should call us today.

What Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Covers

When our dryer vent cleaning technician shows up at your home to clean your dryer vent, we will first inspect your dryer vent system. The way that dryer vents are installed in homes varies. Some are short and simple, while others are longer and go through more areas of the house to reach the exterior of the home.

We will disconnect your dryer from the dryer vent. Then, using rotary brush and high-powered suction equipment, we will thoroughly clean the length of your dryer vent. We will clean from both sides of your vent, if possible, to ensure that all lint is removed from the interior of the vent. Furthermore, the exterior of the dryer vent exhaust hood will be inspected to ensure that it is not contributing to the lint build-up.

Once the dryer vent is reconnected, we will ensure that the exhaust is working properly.

If there are any issues found with the vent itself, we will explain these to you and discuss options for fixing the dryer vent cleaning issues.

How Dryer Vent Cleaning Pays for Itself

In addition to the fact that a clean dryer vent will improve the safety of your home, it can also improve the performance of your laundry appliances.

When your dryer does not have to fight against a lint and debris clog, it can heat up to the proper temperature more quickly. Consequently, your clothes will be dried in one cycle rather than two. This will save you money on electricity and will extend the life of your dryers.

For these Powayresidents who use their dryers several loads a week, dryer vent cleaning is a worthwhile investment in your appliances.

How Often Should It Be Done

Due to the benefits of having your dryer vent cleaned, most households will want to do this once a year. However, households that use their dryers more often, have pets, or have more complex dryer vent systems may require more frequent vent cleanings.

If you are not sure as to how often your dryer vent should be cleaned, give us a call. We are happy to discuss the options with you and give you a definite answer as to how often the dryer vent in your home should be cleaned.
