Dryer Vent Cleaning
Why clean dryer vents?
- Lint build-up creates an extreme fire hazard.
- Blocked vents cause the dryer to work harder which shortens the life of the appliance.
- Cleaning a blocked or restricted vent system reduces drying time which increases the efficiency of the dryer.
- Reducing the drying time of the dryer saves money on utility bills and also on repair cost.
Where is the market for dryer vent cleaning?
Almost every home in America. It is estimated that in 1997 there were 73 million household dryers in use. (7 out of 10 homes)
- Laundromats
- Condominium complexes
- Beauty salons
- Hotels
- Hospitals
- Tanning Salons
- Veterinary clinics
- Anyone who has a dryer!
All of the above have laundry facilities which need servicing. Some of which are mandated by the state or by the insurance companies to have the dryer vents cleaned on a yearly basis.
How does our system work?
In order to thoroughly remove heavy lint deposits safely and effectively, it is a necessity to combine the suction from our high powered Hepa Filtration vacuum with our rotating brush system.
Why not just replace the vent?
Because many homes don’t have a short 5' to 10' section of vent running from the dryer to the basement window. Many homes and condominium complexes have a 20' to 50' vent pipe that is installed behind walls and ceilings. Most of which have 2 or 3 bends. It is not possible to replace these vents. Also, many homeowners do not feel comfortable replacing the vent themselves or can’t physically do it.
Another important point is that even if the vent is replaced, it is equally important to properly remove lint build-up from within the dryer and also around the dryer.
