Dryer vent cleaning is one of the most neglected home maintenance items. The NFPA (Nation Fire Protection Association) recommends having your dryer vent cleaned every year. This is not always necessary and is some cases can be pushed off longer. Some customers can have their dryer vent cleaned every 2 or 3 years. Every home is built different, and some dryer vent systems are much longer or complicated runs. Usage plays a big role into the equation as well. All these factors are considered with your dryer vent inspection and at the end of our service we will give you a reasonable determination as to how often your dryer vent cleaning should be done..

Typically when the drum is spinning, and it is producing any heat at all then the problem can be a vent issue. Schedule with us first before calling an appliance repair company. Many times, you’ll pay a service call to have an appliance repair person respond only to find out there is nothing wrong with your dryer and you need your dryer vent cleaned. Appliance repair companies are rarely equipped to handle a dryer vent cleaning service.

A normal size load of laundry should not take longer than 60 minutes to complete a drying cycle. If it takes longer than 60 minutes than its time to have your dryer vent cleaning done.

Yes. Many customers will return their dryer thinking they received a faulty appliance. The problems are usually a dryer vent problem and not an issue with your new dryer. New dryers have many sensors that detect obstructed airflow resulting from a dryer venting problem. If a clogged dryer vent is ignored then there is a high probability the dryer will shut down, throw an error code or blow an internal fuse that will disable the heating element. If an internal dryer fuse is blown, then you will need to hire an appliance repair company to repair the appliance. But you still have a dryer vent issue that will need to be addressed and need to be cleaned.

These are common error codes that are noted when your dryer is detecting an obstructed dryer vent. D80 means your dryer vent is 80% obstructed. D85 means your dryer vent is 85% obstructed and D90 means the dryer vent is 90% obstructed.

Dryer fires start inside the dryer appliance itself. The problem occurs within the vent system. When the dryer vent system gets obstructed with dryer lint, a bird’s nest or a damaged vent, lint will begin to back up inside the dryer itself. When enough lint builds up around the heating element (can reach temperatures over 2000F) it becomes a source of ignition for the dryer lint. Dryer lint ignition temperature is typically 511F. Depending on the amount of fuel (lint) built up around the internal parts of a dryer the fire can spread rapidly from the appliance, runs inside the walls and spread to the attic.

No. Dryer fabric sheets are great at reducing static electricity and leaving your clothes smelling fresh and clean. However, these products release a chemical that mixes with the lint and turns the lint into a glue-like substance. The lint will pass through your dryer appliance and the vent system causing it to stick to everything. Its is very damaging to your dryer and the vent system and is not recommended. We strongly encourage our customers to use wool dryer balls (or a similar variation) that you can find online to help reduce status electricity buildup.

Yes. The lint screen will capture approximately 90% of the lint from entering the dryer vent system. A well-designed dryer vent will allow the lint to travel and exit outside of the structure of your home. Over time, lint will begin to accumulate within the vent system and begin to create resistance within the dryer vent. Since dryers only produce so much CFM (cubic feet per min) of pneumatic pressure, its very important to minimize the resistance within the dryer vent system to ensure proper airflow. So having your dryer vent cleaned regularly is so important to ensure safety and dryer performance.

A typical service takes us approx. 60 minutes to complete. We schedule 2-hour increments for each of our customers to allow us adequate time to complete your service and travel time between customers. If your dryer vent system requires additional time for larger repairs then we may need to reschedule a larger window of time to ensure the job is completed properly.
