Dryer Vent Cleaning

Reduce #1 Fire Hazard

Clogged dryer vents are the leading cause of residential fires in the U.S. According to the Consumer Products Saftey Commission, there are an estimated annual 15,500 fires, 10 deaths, 310 injuries and over $84,000,000 in property damage resulting from clothes dryers.

Indoor air quality is a major issue for building owners and accumulation of lint and reduced exhaust airflow provide conditions ripe for a fire. Lint is highly combustible and is actually one of the main ingredients for home-made fire starters.

Benifits of Dryer Vent Cleaning

Efficency - A clean exhaust duct allows discharge of the heat, moisture and combustion by-products int the case of a gas-fired dryer without resistance.The resistance wil creae backpressure in the system. Without good exhaust flowthrought he system clothes take much longer to dry reslulting in wasted engergy, natural resourses, and time. The result will show up in i9ncresed utility costs

Appliance wear - If a dryer takes twice as long to dry colothes as is should, the number of load of clothes it will dry is cut in half. Your customer will effectively only receive half the dryer's service life. The dryer runing at unnecessarily higher temperatures can decrease theat life even more. This can lead to the heating element burning out or fire could ingnite as a result of worn out saftey controls
