The Benefits of Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryer vent cleaning services are important not just for the health of your appliances, but also for the safety of your family. A clogged vent can increase the risk of fire by blocking the flow of air with very flammable lint. That’s why it’s so important to have them cleaned on a regular basis!

There are approximately 2,900 clothes dryer fires a year, and they cause an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and 35 million in property loss per year according to U.S. Fire Administration. Letting lint build up can also increase energy bills and shorten the life of the dryer, because the dryer has to work harder to dry clothes.

The U.S. Fire Administration recommends having your dryer duct cleaned once a year. The ideal duct is less than 10 ft long and has no more than 2 turns. Reasons you may need to clean it even more often:

The duct is very long or has a lot of turns
It handles a lot of laundry
Stuff is left in pockets when clothes are put in the dryer
Your lint always has a bit of pet hair with it
You have birds or critters making nests in it

Questions To Ask A Dryer Vent Cleaning Company

How much do you charge for your dryer cleaning services?

Dryer vent cleaning is one of the most affordable services you can buy. Pricing will vary depending on the location of the vent, the length of the duct, accessibility of the back of the dryer, etc.

How can I tell if my dryer vent needs cleaning?

Keep a lookout for signs that your dryer duct may need a cleaning. Here are some questions to ask yourself about your dryer:

Does your dryer take longer than normal to completely dry its contents?
Do you see an increase in your energy bill?
Do you notice hotter than normal vents or clothes?
Does your laundry room seem hotter than normal after using the dryer?
Do you smell anything unusual coming from the dryer?
Do you clothes have a musty odor after drying?
Has it been more than a year since it was last cleaned?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, a dryer vent cleaning may be warranted.

How often should I get my dryer vent cleaned?

You should typically hire a dryer vent cleaning professional once a year to keep your dryer functioning properly and safe to use. There are, however, occasions that may necessitate the need for more cleanings. You may need more cleanings if you happen to have a large family that uses the dryer more often, if you have an old dryer, if you have pets that shed a lot, if you have a longer or more flexible vent, or if you tend to wash bulky blankets and towels more frequently. All of these factors cause more build up which require more frequent cleanings.

Why should I hire a dryer vent cleaning company instead of doing it myself?

This is seems like an easy answer, but many individuals try and tackle the problems themselves and end up calling a pro to fix the fix at the end of the day. Essentially, a professional dryer vent cleaning company can assess your dryer and give you a real assessment of your needs. A true professional can conduct a thorough inspection with equipment, such as a video camera, to check your dryer vents. This is equipment that you will most likely not possess. A professional can also spot faults or breakages in the ductwork. Unless you possess the equipment, skill set, and equipment to find and fix dryer vent problems, it is a good idea to hire a professional dryer vent cleaning company to handle the job.
