Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dryer Vent Cleaning: Protect Your Home, Improve Efficiency
Your dryer vent might be out of sight, but it should never be out of mind. Over time, lint, dust, and debris accumulate in the dryer vent, restricting airflow and causing your dryer to work harder than it should. Not only does this increase energy consumption, but it also raises the risk of fire — clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of household fires in North America.
Regular dryer vent cleaning is essential for safety, efficiency, and longevity of your dryer unit.
What Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Include?
Professional dryer vent cleaning involves more than just removing visible lint:Technicians begin by inspecting the venting system for blockages, damage, or poor installation that could impact performance or safety.
High-powered vacuums and flexible rotary brushes are used to dislodge and remove lint and debris from the entire length of the vent.
External exhaust outlets are checked for nests, dirt, or obstructions and thoroughly cleaned to allow proper airflow.
After cleaning, airflow is tested to ensure that your dryer is functioning optimally and venting correctly.
The connection hose between the dryer and the vent is inspected and reattached securely, ensuring no air leakage.
