Livonia, MI Dryer Vent Cleaning

While there are multiple warning signs that indicate your vent requires cleaning, these are the most common signs:

• Clothes aren’t dry after one cycle or drying times increase. 
• Your dryer stops due to overheating or feels hot to the touch. 
• Clothes smell musty or are overly hot after a cycle. 
• Excess lint on your clothes or behind the dryer. 
• No lint on the dryer lint screen.

If you experience any of these warning signs, contact your local Dryer Vent Wizard to schedule professional dryer vent cleaning!

Here are some of the benefits that professional dryer vent cleaning provides: 

• Fire Prevention - On average, a fire involving the dryer occurs every 37 minutes in the U.S., most caused by a failure to clean the vent line. 
• Health and Safety - Clean vent lines reduce the risk of mold or mildew - dryers expel about a ½ gallon of moisture per load - and toxic carbon monoxide gas created by gas dryers. 
• Energy Efficiency - Dryers are one of the top energy-consuming appliances in your home. Clean vents reduce drying time and extra cycles, saving you money! 
• Extended Dryer Life - A clean vent line puts less wear and tear on your dryer, ensuring it operates efficiently and lasts longer.
• Save Time - Your time is valuable; don’t waste it waiting for extended or extra drying cycles.
• Increase Clothing Life - Clogged dryer vents increase heat and cycle times, which can damage clothing fibers, causing your favorite clothes to wear out before they should.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission and dryer manufacturers recommend servicing your dryer and vent at least once a year. This can vary depending on your dryer usage. If you run your dryer more than twice a week, have your vent inspected every 6 to 8 months to ensure proper maintenance.

Properly cleaning a dryer vent requires experience and expertise. The actual cleaning process will vary depending on factors like the vent system's length, location, and condition. We use a variety of tools and professional techniques to ensure your vent is properly cleaned and maintained, and our professionals ensure proper clean-up after every job.

Measuring a system’s airflow and static pressure are just two ways a Dryer Vent Wizard service professional will assess your vent’s performance. Before and after readings allow our professionals to identify issues with your dryer system and ensure that it operates properly at the end of our visit.
