SoBellas Dryer Vent Cleaning is about educating the customer while servicing the dryer vent system. More than 85 percent of homes throughout the US have clothes dryers but few people are aware the importance of good dryer vent cleaning and maintenance.
Service technicians with SoBellas Dryer Vent cleaning offer Dryer Vent education while performing a dryer vent inspection or dryer vent cleaning service. A dryer duct can contain hidden health and safety hazards. A clogged dryer vent can lead to a dryer fire or mold and mildew problems. Poorly vented clothes dryers also cost more to operate and are likely to make the dryer over work and possibly break down.
Home owners with clothes dryers need to know how to be safe by following these guidelines.
Replace vinyl or flexible foil dryer ducts with rigid metal. Dryer vents made of inferior materials can be easily kinked or crushed to restrict airflow. The ridges in slinky foil materials can catch excess lint and increase the risk of a dryer fire.
Also avoid PVC piping or plastic dryer duct material. Static in PVC and plastic venting causes lint to stick to the inside which can mix with the expelled water during the dry cycle and create a serious airflow blockage.
Do not use duct tape or screws to connect dryer duct sections. The adhesive with duct tape dries out over time and can become flammable or leave gaps in the joints. Screws protruding to the inside of the dryer duct can snag lint to create an increased fire risk.
Vent all clothes dryers outdoors, not into the attic or crawlspace. In addition to dryer vent cleaning for good dryer maintenance, proper dryer vent installation is also critical to the health and safety of the family. Dryer vents terminating in the crawlspace or attic allow moisture to deposit and create a breeding ground for mold.
Do not install a cage or screen at the termination point of the dryer vent outside. Though many people think this is a solution for bug and rodent problems, it can also cause lint to accumulate and block the opening.
Homeowners and business owners can enjoy peace of mind knowing their dryer operates safely and efficiently by scheduling a dryer vent cleaning by SoBellas Dryer Vent Cleaning. Dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation extends the life of the dryer, reduces wear and tear, speeds up drying time and most importantly, prevents a dryer fire.
