The Annual Service That Should NEVER Be Skipped!

Every year there are more than 16,000 dryer vent fires! Lint, which is highly flammable, builds up in the lint tray and the dryer vent. While lint builds up in the lint tray, it also accumulates in the dryer vents and if left untreated the lint will constrict air flow and become highly flammable. The more wear your dryer experiences without being properly cleaned, the more energy and money you will be putting into repairs. With your dryer working overtime, dirty vents can also create hazardous conditions including carbon monoxide.

How Often Do Dryer Vents Need to Be Cleaned?

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends having your dryer exhaust vent cleaned at least once per year by a professional. Lint and other debris can build up in the exhaust vent, blocking airflow and posing a fire hazard. 

Things that can happen if you don’t clean your dryer vent:

• Your dryer and home could catch on fire!
• Your clothes will take longer to dry – wasting your time and consuming more energy, which costs you more money in operating costs.
• The heating element in your dryer can burn out, resulting in costly repairs.
