Dryer Vent Cleaning and Maintenance

Dryer_Fire1Fargo-Moorhead residents, did you know--- Only 60% of the lint is captured in the lint trap of residential and commercial dryers.  The other 40% is vented outside. Over time, the damp lint accumulates to the inside of the duct.  The result is like a clogged pipe that becomes more restricted over time which can cause a fire hazard! 

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), 16,000 fires start in the laundry room each year.
Also, the Consumer Product Saftey Commission (CPSC) estimates more than 84.4 million in property damage annually. This is a reality that needs to be taken seriously.

The State Fire Marshal recommends that your dryer vent be cleaned or inspected once a year to ensure your family's safety.

 
Here are some signs your dryer vent might need cleaning:
  • If it takes longer than one cycle for your clothes to dry, or the clothes are very hot after drying, this is a good sign your vent needs cleaning.
  • If the clothes have a musty smell after drying.
  • If your dryer shuts off or stops during a cycle, the element may be getting too hot from the duct restriction.
  • If there is a great deal of lint escaping from the back of the dryer.
  • If the outside vent has lint covering the outside of the vent cover. 
Here are the benefits of a clean dryer vent:
  • Reduce laundry drying times
  • Avoid dryer element replacement costs
  • Improve the quality of dried clothes
  • Save money on utility bills
  • Prevent a dryer fire!
Our professional service uses special equipment developed especially to remove built-up lint and debris that can clog your dryer vents.  Typical do-it-yourself methods and brushes cannot scrub clean the inside of a dryer duct. 

DryerVentCleaning1We use a flexible spinning cable with a cloth brush that rotates to clean off all the lint inside your duct going to the outside.  Then, we use a powerful vacuum (4 times more powerful than a shop-vac) to remove the lint and debris.  This leaves your system free of any obstructions that can cause problems.  We can accommodate dryer vent duct lengths of any size, from 5 feet to 30 feet or more.  

Plus, we can repair or replace flexible foil ducting with rigid or semi-rigid ducting, making your dryer more efficient.  Maintenance agreements are also available.

Dryer vent cleaning is a good idea for these applications:

  • Residential Homes
  • Condominiums
  • Apartment Buildings
  • Hotels/Motels
  • Commercial/Retail Facilities
  • Industrial/Manufacturing
