Have you noticed that you are having to run multiple dryer cycles to get your clothing dry lately? Before calling a dryer repair service out, call the experts at dryer vent cleaning Brentwood first. More than likely your dryer vent is clogged up and just needs to be cleaned to get your dryer back up and running again. Many folks just do not think about getting their dryer vents cleaned and what all of the damage the lint is doing on the inside of the vent. In the following article I will explain some of the pitfalls of leaving a dryer vent uncleaned and why it is important to have it cleaned out. In the meantime give us a call at 615-988-6699 or feel free to visit our super shiny Window Ninjas website for a free quote at windowninjas.com. Dryer vent cleaning Brentwood wants to educate you on a few important items about what happens when dryer vents become clogged with lint. First of all, there is a huge safety concern about home fires. According to the US Fire Administration, clothes dryers are responsible for more than 15,000 structure fires each year and 80% of those are due to clogged dryer vents. That is pretty astounding right? There is also a possibility of fumes backing up into your home and causing health problems. Dryers are supposed to release the hot air and carbon monoxide gasses through the dryer vent to the outside when the dryer is on. But if the dryer is clogged it stays inside the house. Another pitfall to having a clogged dryer vent is low efficiency. Having to run more than one dryer cycle to get the clothing dry means higher energy costs. Most of us think about cleaning out the lint trap inside the dryer drum each time, but probably forget that the dryer vent also collects lint and should be cleaned out at least once a year. Yes, once a year is the recommendation for dryer vent cleaning. If your dryer is working at a lower efficiency, then it also means it is working double time to get the clothing dry. A dryer having to work this much will not last to its full potential. It will be receiving much wear and tear compared to dryers that have the dryer vent cleaning Brentwood experts to come and make sure that it is working properly. Mold can become a problem when the dryer vent is not cleaned out. The hot air that is supposed to get released through the dryer vent will get trapped inside of the vent thus causing moisture to collect. When moisture collects wet spots can accumulate creating mold. Mold spores can be very harmful to those with breathing difficulties or people with asthma or sensitive to certain allergens. Having the dryer vent cleaned at least once a year will ensure that the dryer will have less maintenance problems and last longer over time. Any well kept machine that is serviced regularly will last longer. Dryer vent cleaning Brentwood does not have to tell you how important it is to keep your household items in good repair. We are sure that you would like for your dryer to keep working as long as possible and not have to spend unnecessary money on repairs. The biggest and worst possible problem that could occur from not having your dryer vent cleaned out is a home fire. So if you are not sure how long ago your dryer vent was cleaned out or if it has never been cleaned out then give us a call as soon as possible. We can straighten that problem out right away. So if your clothing is hot to the touch, you are having to run your dryer multiple times to dry your clothing, or if you happen to notice that the flap on the outside of your dryer vent is not opening when the dryer is on, then give us a call. One or all of these can be signs that your dryer vent is clogged and full of lint. One of our dryer vent cleaning Brentwood teams will be glad to come out and fix it. How do we clean the dryer vent? I thought you would never ask. So we have a very long and flexible wand that fits together piece by piece into the dryer vent. We attach a circular brush head to one end of the flexible wand before inserting it into the vent as we push it along. Then we attach a drill to the opposite end of the wand. As the drill spins the brush cleans the lint particles from the sides of the dryer vent. We make sure to go all of the way through the vent from the dryer hookup side to the outside. All the while we have a vacuum cleaner set up on the outside to make sure that the lint does not get pushed out onto the yard. The lint will get sucked into the vacuum cleaner as it will be turned on while the dryer vent cleaning brush is being pushed through the vent. Afterwards the dryer will be reconnected with its attachment hoses to the wall to make sure that when it is being used that the hot air and moisture can continue to escape through the dryer vent when the dryer is being used. Remember that it is normal for gasses such as carbon monoxide to be expelled from a dryer and if the dryer is clogged that this will not happen correctly. At dryer vent cleaning Brentwood we want you to be safe and sound in your home at all times.
