Bestway Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dryer vent cleaning improves the safety and efficiency of your dryer installation. As
dryer vents become filled with lint and other debris, drying time increases and can
cause the dryer itself to overheat. This increases energy consumption since the
dryer has to run longer to dry your clothes and can also cause fires in the dryer or
the dryer duct. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports dryer related
home fires are on the increase. CPSC figures show that in 1997 there were 16,800
dryer fires which caused 30 deaths, 430 injuries and 97.3 million dollars in property
damage.
If you have noticed that your dryer is running longer than it used to you may need to
have the dryer vent cleaned. Some dryer vents are relatively short and straight and
can be cleaned easily by the homeowner, but others aren’t that easy and may
require the use of special tools and equipment. We have tools specifically designed
to clean dryer vents and with these tools we are able to do a thorough job of
cleaning even the most difficult installations. While dryer vents are routinely blocked
with lint, animal nesting is also another frequent cause of dryer vent blockage and
our equipment allows us to remove these blockages as well.
Another problem created by blocked dryer vents serving gas dryers is the possibility
of carbon monoxide seepage into your home. If the dryer is not exhausting properly
to the outdoors, CO can back up into the home.
Fires can occur when lint builds up in the dryer or in the exhaust duct. Lint can block
the flow of air, cause excessive heat build-up, and result in a fire in some dryers.
Let us take your troubles away. You will be very satisfied with our results.
Reasons for inspection and cleaning:
Reduces chance of dryer vent fire. When the dryer is used, over time lint will collect
and adhere to the inside of the dryer vent walls. The larger the buildup, the larger
the risk of having a dryer vent fire.
Reduces "wasted electricity" and "appliance stress". Use of a dryer with a dirty vent
can cause the dryer to run longer to dry the same amount of clothes because the
hot air being expelled cannot freely exit the vent. Longer drying time takes more
electricity and puts added stress on the appliance.
Metal connector requirements. All connection pieces to the dryer vents should be
inspected to make sure they are properly attached and up to the newer building
code requirements. Regular maintenance will keep the dryer vent clean and the
dryer working properly.
What we do:
Depending on what type of dryer you have - stackable, side-by-side, gas or electric
- and how your dryer is vented - through the wall, up through the roof, across the
inside of the ceiling, etc. - the basic procedure is the same.
Our service technician will come inside and unhook the connection piece that goes
between the dryer and the vent. We'll run the vent cleaning equipment from the dryer
side out to the end of the vent while using a industrial type air blowing motor. Once
the cleaning equipment has traveled the length of the vent enough times to
thoroughly clean the vent, we'll clean out the connection piece, reattach your dryer
and recheck the vent while your dryer is operating.
