Why Dryer Vent Cleaning?

Reduce the risk of fires

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, over 15,000 homes fires each year are caused by dryer vents with a build up of lint and debris. When these build ups occur, the dryer can overheat, which can result in fires in the dryer or dryer duct.

Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning

Another problem created by blocked dryer vents serving gas dryers is the risk of carbon monoxide leaking into your home. This can happen because the lint and flue gases use the same method to leave the house and get blocked by a clogged dryer vent. These colorless and odorless carbon monoxide fumes can be fatal.

Decrease wear and tear on your dryer

Dryers with blocked vents run less efficiently, which can wear down your dryer or can run significantly slower. When this happens, you use more energy and your wallet takes a hit.

Remove unwanted pests

Animal, bird and insect nesting is another frequent cause of dryer vent blockage. Besides the annoying chirping or pitter patter of mice, having unwanted tenants in your dryer vent are unsanitary and can lead to other problems such as fires, carbon monoxide poisoning and higher energy costs.
