Dryer Vent Cleaning
How important is dryer vent cleaning
Just like your air ducts, your dryer exhaust vent could be lined with particulates that are harmful to your family. Debris and lint often get missed by your lint catcher and end up stuck inside your dryer line, when your dryer vent is clogged with lint and debris it restricts the air flow making the drying time increase and the energy efficiency and safety of your home decrease. Lint is one of the most flammable items within your home, and you have no idea how much of it is just sitting inside your dryer exhaust vent.
With an estimated 15,500 US home fires contributed to dryer vent fires* it is more important than ever to get your dryer vent serviced and inspected.
