You probably take the time to clean your dryer’s lint trap, but did you know lint and other debris gets past that screen and eventually clogs the dryer vent itself? Clogged dryer vents can cause a host of problems including fire, carbon monoxide accumulation, extra wear to clothing, excessive energy use, and mold growth. There’s a hidden danger spot in most homes today. Chances are you don’t look at it or even think about it. It’s the vent pipe from your clothes dryer. Over time, it fills with lint that slips past your dryer’s filter. Overheating results as the lint builds up, and then you’re just a step away from a fire hazard. Sound unlikely?
Alarming facts from the Consumer Product Safety Commission:
- Over 15,000 clothes dryer fires occur each year.
- These dryer fires result in approximately 20 deaths, 370 injuries and over $75 million in property damage annually.
- The high-limit thermostat may prematurely fail when subjected to high ambient temperatures. After a significant build up of debris in the dryer vent hose, the dryer overheats and the lint catches fire. Combustibles in the immediate vicinity then help fuel the fire.
A key to effective dryer performance is optimal airflow. A properly installed all-metal dryer vent in your laundry room will help ensure this airflow. Skilled technicians from Doodlebuggers will have this vent inspected and cleaned to ensure there is proper airflow for the dryer and that the right equipment is in use.
In addition, numerous financial benefits are derived from annual dryer vent cleaning. Removing the lint allows the dryer to operate more efficiently, reducing energy costs significantly. Drying times are decreased. And, your dryer can last much longer since it’s not operating at the higher temperatures that are caused by the lint buildup. The charge for this service pays for itself in lower service and utility costs. Call Doodlebuggers for dryer vent cleaning in Pensacola-Destin areas.
