Cleaning your dryer vent is crucial and should not be overlooked. Over time lint and debris accumulate in the vent restricting airflow and causing your dryer to overheat. This overheating can trigger the high-temperature limit safety switch, leading to system failure and significantly increasing the risk of fire, as lint is highly flammable. A proper dryer vent cleaning not only prevents these hazards but also improves your dryer’s efficiency.
By following these thorough steps, our technicians ensure your dryer vent is clean and your appliance operates efficiently and safely.
Our technicians begin by assessing the installation of your dryer vent to determine the best approach for cleaning. Depending on your setup, we may clean the vent from either the inside or outside of your home.
The dryer is carefully disconnected from the power source to ensure safety. We also move the dryer away from the wall to access the vent connection.
Using specialized tools, our technicians start by removing visible lint and debris from the vent opening and the dryer hose.
We insert a specialized air whip into the dryer duct. This equipment is designed to navigate the length of the vent, dislodging and extracting accumulated lint and debris.
If accessible, we clean the external vent cover to ensure it is free from obstructions, allowing for proper airflow.
After cleaning, our technicians inspect the entire vent system to ensure there are no remaining blockages and verify that the airflow is optimal.
The dryer is reconnected to the power source and pushed back into place. Our technicians then run the dryer to test and confirm that it is operating efficiently with proper airflow.
