Dryer Vent Cleaning & Repair in Springfield & Northern Virginia
When was the last time you had your dryer vent cleaned?
Lint and debris can build up in your clothes dryer duct causing your dryer to work overtime, creating potentially hazardous conditions including dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in your home or even a fire.
Signs your dryer vent needs cleaning: clothes take more than one cycle to dry, the dryer or laundry room feels hot, you notice a burning smell, or the outside vent flap doesn't open when the dryer runs. Homes with long vent runs, roof vents, or vents that pass through a ceiling or crawl space clog faster and usually need cleaning every year. During a visit we clean the full vent line, check the exterior hood, and replace crushed, disconnected, plastic or foil duct with metal duct.

Make sure you clean the lint filter before or after each load of laundry. Remove lint that has collected around the drum.
-
Rigid or flexible metal venting material should be used to sustain proper air flow and drying time.
-
Make sure the air exhaust vent pipe is not restricted and the outdoor vent flap will open when the dryer is operating. Once a year, or more often if you notice that it is taking longer than normal for your clothes to dry, clean lint out of the vent pipe or have a dryer lint removal service do it for you.
