Dryer Vents
Dryer vents are an often overlooked maintenance item in households. 15,000 dryer vent fires are reported every year in the U.S. This is an easily preventable problem with a minor amount of effort.
Service Description
Dryer vent cleaning is the process of removing lint or blockages from the duct system that vents your dryer. This is an easy process that will protect your home. It begins with determining the best access to your system. From your dryer to the vent exit the system will be rotary swept and vacuumed. Once cleaned, a camera will determine if all the connections are joined properly and there are no holes in your ductwork.
When is this Relevant?
Dryer vent cleaning prevents fires, boosts dryer efficiency, and extends the life of your dryer. Homeowners should clean their dryer vents once a year. With every use, the lint catch should be emptied. These steps will ensure your dryer will keep working for you and keep hard earned dollars in your pocket.
Having a technician thoroughly clean your duct system once a year will provide you peace of mind.
