Reduce Hazards and Save With a Dryer Vent Cleaning

Remove a huge potential fire hazard by having your dryer vents cleaned by the professionals at Certified Carpet And Air Duct Cleaning.

Dryer vents tend to become clogged with highly flammable lint and other matter. Keeping your dryer vent clean protects your house from a potential fire but also increases the efficiency of your dryer.

Today, statistics show that there are more dryer vent fires than chimney fires. Lint build-up in a dryer vent is not only a fire hazard but also a tremendous money waster.

When your dryer vent is clogged or partially clogged with lint, it can take twice to four times as long to dry clothes. You will spend a lot of extra money on electricity or gas and you may replace your dryer two to four times as often as you would if you had cleaned the vent.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Goes Beyond the Vent Itself

• Debris and Clog Removal: Lint, animal nests, stray socks or undergarments, and other items and materials that may clog your dryer vent are removed.
• Line Sanitizing: Animal nests or other debris often found in vent lines can be a source of harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Where there is a potential for such contaminants, we will sanitize the affected areas of the vent line.
• Booster Fan Cleaning: Dryer vent lines that are 35 feet or longer should have a booster fan installed, which should also be cleaned annually along with your dryer vent system as a whole.
• Lint Screen Cleaning: Removing lint by hand from the lint screen or lint trap should, of course, be done after each cycle, but a more thorough lint screen cleaning as part of our dryer vent cleaning service can also increase airflow and efficiency overall.

Your Dryer Vents Should Be Cleaned Regularly

The National Fire Protection Association recommends thoroughly cleaning dryer vents regularly. Vents get obstructed because lint traps don’t catch all the lint and combustible materials, and vents (especially those with many bends) can also get blocked by debris, such as animal nesting.

It’s recommended to thoroughly clean your dryer every one to three years, depending on usage and other factors. A good sign your dryer vents need to be cleaned is if clothes take a noticeably longer time to dry.
