The clothes dryer is one of the most used appliances in a home today, and a malfunctioning dryer can really derail your routine, or worse, put your home and family in danger. One of the most common reasons why dryers don’t work, are clogged dryer vents.
Lint and debris from your clothes can end up clogging your dryer’s vent. Just because you clean your lint trap on a regular basis, doesn’t mean that all the lint from your laundry has been removed. In fact, data shows that just about 25% of the lint is collected in the trap, while the other 75% builds up in the dryer’s vent.
Additionally, the opening of the vent (located outside your house) can get blocked by bushes, birds’ nests or even debris collecting in them.
If you have a long dryer vent, then it will clog quicker than a shorter one. And, if your dryer vent curves or turns in the ductwork, then the lint and debris will build up in those sections of the system.
Another reason for clogged vents is when the transition hose at the back of your dryer that is connected to the duct system is crushed. This would lead to lower airflow, which means that the vents get clogged quicker.
According to data from the National Fire Date Center of the US Fire Administration, about 15,600 structural fires around the country are caused by clothes dryers. Of this figure, 80% are caused because the dryer vents are clogged, which results in an average of 15 annual deaths as well as 400 injuries every year.
Besides the fires, clogged dryer vents cause you to get ill because of inhaling poisonous gas fumes that back up into your home. In fact, thousands of people are treated for this problem every year.
And finally, as your dryer’s vent system gets steadily more blocked with debris (especially lint), your appliance has to work much harder. What this means is that it consumes more power, leading to you paying higher electricity bills.

We keep our prices low, without compromising on the quality of our work.
How frequently you get your dryer vent cleaned will depend on how often the appliance is used. For example, if you don’t really do your laundry very frequently – say once a week – then a yearly cleaning should be good enough.
If you have a large household where you do at least 1 to 2 loads of laundry on a daily basis, then you should get your dryer cleaned every 3 months. However, the best way to find out how frequently should you clean your dryer vent is to schedule an inspection.

Keeping your dryer vent clean ensures that your appliance works at optimal levels. Here are some of the benefits:
When your dryer vent is clean, it takes a shorter time to dry clothes. This includes heavier materials.
When a dryer is working effectively because of a good ventilation system, you don’t have to deal with damp and super-hot clothes once the drying cycle is completed.
One big benefit is that you save on electricity bills thanks to lower energy usage!
You extend the lifespan of your clothes dryer when it is properly maintained. This again leads to long term savings since you don’t have to buy a new appliance more frequently.
-One of the most important benefits of ensuring that your dryer vent system is kept clean is safety. A clean dryer vent goes a long way in fire prevention, carbon monoxide poisoning due to backups as well as other damage to your family and home.
When your dryer vent is clean, you are also in compliance of insurance requirements. For example, if a fire is caused due to a clogged dryer vent, your insurance claim will be denied because you did not adhere to safety requirements from your insurer.
For regular daily maintenance, you can clean parts of the dryer vent yourself. The lint catcher and the vent’s tailpipe are easy to reach and clean – and should be cleaned regularly.
However, a thorough cleaning of the entire vent system is necessary to ensure that it is properly maintained. There are pipes in the walls or ceilings that are just impossible to reach without the right equipment. And you could end up causing damage to the dryer vent system, your walls or your ceiling by attempting to do the job yourself.
Thus, if you live in the Miami area and are looking for dryer vent cleaning service providers, get in touch with us. We will ensure that your home is safe, and your clothes dryers work optimally thanks to a clean and efficient vent system.
