Dryer Vent Cleaning
Why clean your dryer vent? Most of the dryer vent is not visible to the average viewer inside your home, so why do you need to keep it clean? Because dirty dryer vents are a leading cause of fires in the home. These home fires are entirely preventable, however most people find that out after their home is already gone. The solution is simple: get your dryer vents cleaned regularly.
Dryers are one of the appliances most commonly found in households because everyone needs dry clothes. Lint from the clothes is supposed to be caught in the lint trap on the dryer. However, a big percentage of the lint actually gets through the lint trap and goes straight into your dryer vent. This can quickly turn into a problem if the dryer vent becomes severely clogged with lint. The hot air that flows through dryers and dryer vents to dry your clothes can become trapped inside the dryer vent if the lint blocks air flow too much. This could very easily lead to a fire and it is how most homes are burned down each year. Call our dryer vent cleaning services in Kent, WA to prevent this from happening to your home. Dryer vents are extremely difficult to clean without proper equipment. However, our team of professionals will thoroughly and properly clean your dryer vent and its associated components.
Another reason you may want to get your dryer vent cleaned is that clogged vents can push the hot air from the dryer into the house. It will cause your home to be warmer and leads to higher air conditioning bills or fan electricity bills. Using dryers with dirty dryer vents also causes unnecessary energy waste. Since air can’t flow as easily through clogged vents, clothes will take longer to dry. This can also mean higher utility costs.
How do you know when your dryer vent needs cleaning? Since the majority of the dryer vent is hidden from sight, it can be difficult to know when it needs cleaning. However, one sign of a clogged dryer vent is that you have to use more than one cycle to dry your clothes. The performance of the dryer noticeably suffers when the dryer vent is clogged. Another sign is that your clothes are taking longer to dry than they once did. Some other signs include the clothes in the dryer or the dryer itself being very hot. If air circulation is blocked in the dirty vent, the dryer can start to overheat. A burning odor is another sign of a dirty vent.
