Dryer vent cleaning Richmond employees really listen to customer concerns and can answer questions well. We take customer satisfaction to a different level here. You are important to us. With that being said let's get educated about why it is important to keep your dryer free of clogs. What causes the dryer vent to become clogged in the first place? Lint is the biggest culprit. Although if your dryer vent flap on the outside of your home has been compromised and broken then perhaps an animal has burrowed inside? The main purpose of the dryer vent is to allow hot air, fumes such as carbon monoxide, and moisture that is created when the dryer is running to escape outside. But if the dryer vent is clogged with lint, an animal has made a nest, or if the vent tubing is crimped then the vent is not going to work properly. Then what happens to the carbon monoxide and hot air? Great question! It has nowhere else to go but back inside your house. I bet you are thinking what? Doesn't that mean a health hazard to me and my family? Yes, you are most definitely right. It certainly does. So what are you going to do about it? Call the experts and have them clean your dryer vent. Excellent answer! If I were you I would have my dryer vent inspected and cleaned out by the professionals at dryer vent cleaning Richmond. It is recommended to have the dryer vent cleaned out once a year. Cleaning the vent is a good idea for the health of your family and keeps the risky business of a home fire prevented. Yes, a house fire is possible if you let the lint get out of control inside of that vent. How is that possible you ask? Another great question! Well, lint is highly combustible given it is made from clothing fibers. Take the hot heat and air that is circulating in that dryer vent along with all of that clogged and trapped lint and you have a recipe for disaster. Here are some facts about dryer vent fires for you. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, 2,900 home clothes fires dryer fires are reported each year. An estimated 5 deaths occur, 100 injuries, and 35 million dollars in property damage occur due to these incidences. Failure to clean the home dryer is the leading cause of home fires (34 percent). All of which could have been prevented with a little care and maintenance on the part of the homeowner. We usually do not forget to clean out the lint trap on the dry, but much of the time we take the dryer vent for granted. Care should be taken to move the dryer out from the wall and inspect the connecting hose to make sure that it is not crimped. It should also be removed completely to be inspected and cleaned to remove all of the built up lint inside the vent itself. You should also check the vent flap on the outside of the house to make sure that it is opening when the dryer is on. If it is not, then have it fixed or replace it entirely. Home stores such as Lowe's and Home Depot have replacement pieces for these vents and can easily be purchased locally or on-line. Don't let your home be the site of a house fire from not cleaning out the dryer vent. Have our experts at dryer vent cleaning Richmond do an inspection and dryer vent cleaning service for you on a yearly basis to ensure it is working properly. The cost of a dryer vent cleaning is most certainly much less than damage to your home or the loss of a loved one. We have all of the tools at our disposal and can easily be of assistance to you.
