Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryer vent tubes help carry hot air away from your home or building. However, sometimes lint, dust, and other items can create clogs and create problems. It’s vital to keep your dryer vents clean. According to the US Fire Administration:

2,900 clothes dryer fires are reported each year and cause an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss.
The leading cause of clothes dryer fires is failure to clean them (34 percent).
More clothes dryer fires occur in the fall and winter months, peaking in January.

This is true for both residential and commercial dryer vents.

Lowered Power Bill

When you have a functional dryer vent, it can lead to significantly lower power bills. A clean vent won’t clog up, which will lessen the running time needed, and that will lower your bill.

Removing Odors

Lint buildup can sometimes make a dryer emit burning odors, which will disturb your home’s occupants and guests. Many odors can easily get trapped within dust particles; however, a cleaning job easily mitigates this issue.

Improved Air Quality

We can take for granted the importance of a functional dryer vent system. Even with work, school, or other obligations, we spend a lot of time at our home, so it’s critical that we breathe clear air. Breathing in dust and pollutants increases your chance of sneezing, coughing, bronchial congestion, or your sinuses acting up. All these pollutants can even cause allergies or respiratory conditions.
