Effective Dryer Vent Cleaning Prevents a Clogged Vent

Clogged dryer vents and lint buildup can lead to fires, high energy bills, and dryer damage.

The dryer vent is a pipe attached to the dryer carrying hot air that accumulates while the machine is operating. As lint builds up, the dryer vent can become clogged and can cause a dryer fire, dryer damage, and higher energy bills. That is why dryer vent cleaning at least once a year is necessary to prevent clogging.

When to Clean Your Dryer Vent

Can you remember the last time your dryer vent was cleaned? If not, it might be time to seek professional dryer vent cleaning services in Connecticut for help!

Symptoms of a Clogged Dryer Vent:

• Excessively damp or hot clothing: If your laundry feels damp when the dryer is done or clothing feels hotter than normal, there may be an issue with the heating element. This can be caused by a clogged vent.
• Laundry taking too long to dry: Do you have to run multiple cycles for the same load of laundry? Are clothes taking longer than a regular 45-minute drying cycle? These are signs that the dryer vent needs to be cleaned.
• Condensation on the dryer drum: If you have noticed condensation in the dryer drum after the laundry is finished, this could mean poor ventilation or a clogged vent. This happens when moisture builds up in the exhaust duct and seeps into the dryer instead of being exhausted outside.
• Musty odors: If clothes aren't completely dry and wet laundry is left inside the dryer, you may have musty odors on the clothes and inside of the dryer drum. Condensation in the dryer can also create an unpleasant smell.
• Excessive lint buildup: If a lot of lint accumulates inside the dryer duct and blocks the vent, this often leads to lint building up outside the vent and the trap.
• The surface of the dryer is hotter than usual: If the dryer cabinet or controls are hot to the touch, this is a sign that you need a dryer vent cleaning.
• High energy bills: Having to run the dryer more often because the laundry takes longer to dry causes higher energy bills.

How often do you need to clean the dryer vent?

According to the National Fire Protection Association, homeowners in Connecticut and throughout the U.S. should clean the dryer vent at least once a year. However, larger households and people using the dryer frequently should clean the dryer vent more.

Lint is flammable, so if there is a lot of lint in the dryer vent, there is more chance for a fire to start. Checking and cleaning the dryer vent ensures no lint builds up anywhere in the duct system. The experts at Professional Carpet Systems & Professional Restoration Systems can provide safe and efficient dryer vent cleaning!

Do you need professional dryer vent cleaning?

You may be thinking about cleaning your dryer vent yourself instead of hiring a professional. While you may be able to save money by doing the job yourself, special care should be taken to avoid causing damage to the dryer vent system. It's also critical that lint is removed from the entire length of the vent. Proper cleaning can be difficult without the right equipment. The best way to ensure that your dryer vents are maintained properly is to allow a professional dryer duct cleaning company to do the work for you.
