Most homeowners don’t realize it, but more fires in homes happen in dryer vents than in chimneys. The more lint that builds up, the hotter your machine runs. This can lead to a fire as well as a lot of money out of your pocket to pay for the extra energy the machine needs to dry clothes. As lint builds up in the dryer vent, the drying cycle can take as much as four times longer than usual. Eventually, this can cause the dryer’s motor or other moving parts to fail.

Cleaning Dryer Vents

When Fluesbrothers gets to work on your dryer vent, we do it right the first time. Here’s our approach:

  • Thoroughly clean the entire inside and outside of the venting system
  • Remove the vent and clean the entire area behind the appliance
  • Use a spinning brush to completely clean the extension rods
  • Run the dryer afterwards to make sure everything is operating safely and properly

About Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryer vents become clogged primarily because all the lint produced during a drying cycle isn’t always caught by the lint trap. This is especially problematic for venting that has several bends. Additionally, small animals like to build nests in dryer vent systems, which significantly increases the blockage. The National Fire Protection Association states that dryer vents should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis for safety and peak performance.

3 Benefits of Cleaning Dryer Vents:

  1. Reduced maintenance: Dryers with clean vent systems last longer and need fewer repairs during their lifespan.
  2. Increased efficiency: A clean vent allows your machine to dry clothes faster and costs you less money to operate.
  3. Ensured safety: Having your dryer vent cleaned regularly greatly reduces the chance of a fire in the system as well as carbon monoxide backing up into the home.
