How Often Should I Have It Cleaned?
​
We recommend you have us come out to you on an annual basis. With an inexpensive annual contract, you can ensure that your system is clean, safe, and running as efficiently as possible throughout the year. While the frequency of how often you should have your vent cleaned relies on several factors, such as the size and type of dryer, the length of the vent hose, and how often you use your dryer, a yearly visit is often the best to keep your system running at its peak performance and to keep it safe.
How quickly dryer lint burns
Fire Hazard
Dryer Lint is highly flammable and could be a fire hazard. When left in the dryer vent and dryer vent hosing, the heat of the dryer can cause it to catch fire. Excess dryer lint left in the dryer vent can also be blocking your dryer’s performance. When this happens, not only does the excess lint create a possibility of igniting, but also causes your dryer to work harder especially if the unit is near a water heater repair project. Working harder can cause the motor to overheat putting it under excess stress. If it overheats and is under stress, it could cause a fire, or it could lead to a breakdown. The system is under stress when lint backs up the dryer vent. The best way to relieve its stress as well as your stress of worrying about the possibility of your system failing is to call us, your family-owned, family-run dryer vent cleaning professionals.
Benefits of having your dryer vent cleaned regularly:
There are many but just to name a few...
Extend your dryer’s life, lower your electric bill
and more importantly, reduce the risk of house fires.
If your dryer is gas or electric, they all build up lint and it is the lint that has to be removed to prevent fires, damage
to your dryer and the possibility of mold.
Why?
Why Do I Need to Have my Dryer Vents Cleaned
Scheduled and frequent dryer vent cleaning is important for the safety of your family and your home. Why? First is safety and fire prevention. No matter how often you clean your dryer’s filter, lint and debris will still accumulate in the dryer venting pipes. If left there and if left to gather in a large ball, the dryer’s heat can cause it to ignite. With regular cleaning with our handyman services, the risk of this happening is significantly reduced.
Dryer fires are more common than most people know. According to the National Fire Protective Association (NFPA) dryers and washing machines cause an average of nearly 16,000 fires each year with dryers causing over 90 percent of them causing over $200 million dollars in property damage each year.
Don’t be one of these statistics, call us as soon as possible and receive a free estimate over the phone with one of our family members.
Save Your Appliance Life
Not only will you save money on your utility bills, but you can also save money on having to replace your dryer. Why? Because the extended drying time, when you keep having to run the dryer again, puts extra, for a lack of better words, milage, on your dryer. It’s spinning and trying to heat the clothes more times than usual. Plus, if the system does not, for lack of better words, breathing right, it can be damaged.
Dryer Just Not Drying?
One way to tell if your dryer vent needs servicing is if it seems to be taking longer to dry clothes. If common Tee shirts, and light clothing seems to be taking as long as towels and towels need to be dried twice, it may be that your dryer vent is clogged and that the dryer isn’t running at its peak efficiency. You might think that it’s just because your dryer is getting older, or that your loads are too large, but nine-times out of ten, that is not the case. The problem could be your dryer vent being clogged.
If this is the case, that you are finding that it’s getting harder and harder for your clothes to dry and you think your dryer vent is possibly clogged with lint or debris, call us for an evaluation and cleaning, better safe than sorry.
If you are using your dryer for longer periods of time, because it’s not drying efficiently, and if you find that your clothes are just not smelling that dryer fresh smell, it most certainly is due to the dryer vent being blocked.

Not only will you save money on your utility bills, but you can also save money on having to replace your dryer. Why? Because the extended drying time, when you keep having to run the dryer again, puts extra, for a lack of better words, milage, on your dryer. It’s spinning and trying to heat the clothes more times than usual. Plus, if the system does not, for lack of better words, breathe right, it can be damaged.
Now you may be asking, can I just have my handyman clean it out? Our answer is not really. The average handyman doesn't have the tools that we have, the proper brushes, vacuum service, and other "tricks of the trade."
Reduce Mold Growth
Another advantage to having your dryer vent cleaned and checked on a regular basis is the prevention of excess moisture which can create an environment for moisture which will lead to mold and possibly going into your smart home ac system. The lint that accumulates in your dryer vent can become moist sitting in the vent. That moister can lead to mold and mildew which could come into contact with your clothes and your family. Cleaning your vents, the pipes and around the dryer helps create a safe laundry area.
Imporve Your Homes Air Quality
Are you smelling your clothes drying? You shouldn’t be. If your vents and dryer air pipes are clogged, and the lint is unable to blow out, it will seep into your home's air. This can create poor air quality which can lead to or trigger allergies and may lead to respiratory problems for any of your family. Having your dryer vents cleaned and checked often is as important as having your HVAC repair as well.
Improve Your Dryer Time
​
With a lint-free/debris-free dryer vent line, you will immediately see faster drying times from your dryer. Our many happy customers have found that a clean dryer vent helps with the airflow and thereby helps the dryer be able to get hotter, quicker, and for longer. This also helps prevent prolonged wear and tear on your clothes, the less agitation from the dryer, the less your clothes have to endure.
​
With regular dryer vent cleaning, your clothes in the dryer it’s natural for them to break up and leave particles behind, known as lint. Lint comes when the fibers of the clothing and dust are shed during the drying cycle. As the wet clothes are tumbled and heated in your dryer, the loose particles and fibers are separated from the fabric. These particles and lint are carried away from the clothes by the flow of hot air and your dryer’s filter captures as much of it as possible- BUT NOT ALL OF IT. Some of the lint, no matter how often you and carefully you clean your filter, will get past the filter and into the dryer vent hoses. Our services will clean your vent further, ensuring that all the lint is cleared from the vent.
​
We do more than just vacuum around your dryer. We use special brushes, extensions, and rods that are flexible. These flexible rods and brushes can go down your vent all the way to the back of your dryer, making sure that everything is pulled out. We also use a high-powered, long-reach vacuum with special HEPA filters which pulls up the loosened debris from the vent. We also clean and care for your lint trap, making sure all lint is removed from the dryer.
Our Gurantee
After our cleaning and inspection, we are confident that you will find your dryer is more efficient, drying the clothes a lot quicker and therefore saving you money. The extra time that it takes to dry your clothes in a dryer that is running inefficiently can increase your utility bill. A simple cleaning of the dryer vent or h will therefore save you money in multiple ways. With cleaned dryer vents your dryer will enjoy better airflow, which means your clothes will dry more quickly. Prolonged drying, with the extended time of the clothes tumbling in the dryer, can also cause excess stress on the fabrics of your clothes, and therefore wear them out sooner.
