Cleaning your clothes dryer exhaust duct is an important service.

If you notice that your clothes are taking more than one cycle to dry, or if your dryer is becoming excessively hot to the touch, you most likely have a build up of lint and debris in your ducting. Lint build up catches the water vapor from your dryer and prevents the heat to exhaust properly outdoors. This is a serious problem. This will not only burn out your dryer, but it can cause a fire, water damage, health risks, and higher electrical costs.

Our Service Includes:

Removing the duct from the dryer and attaching our vacuum to the vent pipe. Then starting from the outside vent door, we run our ductwhip down the line to snake out the entire vent pipe working our way back to the spot where our vacuum is attached.

We will supply you with general information about the different styles and configurations of dryer ducting found in various types of condominiums, townhouses, single homes and some commercial buildings. Most dryer exhaust ducting requires a regular maintenance program. There are situations that do not need the service of a duct cleaner. We will submit to you in writing our recommendations.

We can develop a maintenance schedule that is tailored to your particular type of ducting and structure.  "How often does my dryer duct need cleaning?" This is a question that we can not answer until we have seen your situation and in most cases a history must be developed.

Fires Start inside Your Clothes Dryer - Not Your Dryer Ducting

Fires start in the Clothes Dryer and not your Dryer Duct. This may seem like a silly statement but, many customers we have met did not realize this. They had heard so much about fires and dryer ducts, they thought the lint just started burning in the duct.

As a rule a fire in a dryer starts from a spark in the clothes dryer. This can happen for various reasons. Wiring coated in lint and perhaps coins and paper clips can cause problems. It is important to have your dryer taken apart to clean on the interior and around the rotating drum, by a qualified appliance technician.

We watched a T.V. program where they put a camera inside a clothes dryer and eventually set it on fire. It was a full size clothes dryer.  The dryer went up in flames and the hose at the back was not affected until they held the plastic hose to the flame. My point being,  hard pipe and fire proof hose would not have made any difference to what I saw on T.V. If your dryer has enough lint (fuel) inside of it, it will go "up" in flames.

Important Tip: Do not store your fire extinguisher on top or around your dryer. You will not be able to get to it in the event of a dryer fire.
