Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryer Vent Cleaning in California

dryer cleaning in a  home

Hidden risk. Many homeowners don't think about their dryer vents, but they can be a major fire risk.

Dryer vent cleaning is an important and often-overlooked piece of your home's annual maintenance and upkeep. When these vents are not cleaned, it can lead to a serious fire hazard in your home.

An estimated 80% of dryer fires occur in residential homes. By cleaning these vents, you can reduce the risk of dryer-related fires in your home by 43.1%.

Homeowners are often amazed at the amount of dryer lint that can collect in a ventilation system over the course of just a few years -- especially in the vents located deep within the wall cavity.

A professional like ServiceMaster by Critical can make sure your dryer vents are properly cleaned and provide you with peace of mind.

Why clean your dryer vents?

When your dryer vents are not cleaned properly, your system will begin to perform poorly and is forced to work harder to do its normal job. This will mean slower operation, poorly dried clothing, and a potential fire hazard. Additionally, your dryer will wear out sooner from the extra work, and your utility bills will rise by over $250 annually.

clogged dryer vent in need of cleaning in

We've seen cases where the dryer exhaust vent is so clogged that it's almost completely stopping the airflow.

Signs that your dryer vents need cleaning:

  • Clothing loads take longer to dry
  • Clothing is very hot and damp at end of load
  • A hot, humid laundry room at end of load
  • The dryer itself feels hotter
  • There is no lint collecting on the screen
  • Excessive lint is collecting at the screen
  • Unusually high levels of "static cling"

fire alert

15,600 dryer fires each year!

As dryer vents clog with lint over several years, they can create a serious fire safety hazard in your home. 15,600 fires start in dryers each year, leading to 10-20 deaths and 400 injuries annually.

Clean those vents professionally every 1-3 years. It's also a good idea to never run your dryer when you're sleeping or are away from home.

A standard cleaning will involve unhooking the machine, cleaning the interior of the dryer to remove trapped lint, and cleaning the flexible duct (the connection between the dryer and vent system).

Special tools will also be used to clean the vent duct, checking connections, and other areas to ensure maximum safety, prevent possible fire damage and ensure the sound operation of your machine.

At ServiceMaster by Critical we can provide professional dryer vent cleaning services and disaster restoration services to homeowners throughout our service area. We can ensure that your vents are cleaned and that your dryer system is in proper working order.
