Dryer Vent Cleaning Services
Anthony’s Chimney Sweeps, Serving Colorado Springs to Denver
Just like your chimney, dryer vents have the same properties of any duct system. A clogged dryer vent can cause numerous problems such as longer drying times, a hot dyer and lint around the vent. Modern dryers are able to quickly dry clothes with one cycle. If you have to restart your dryer it may be time for a proper cleaning which can often solve the problem without having to purchase a new dryer.
Emptying the lint trap every drying cycle is necessary but is not enough to ensure the safe operation of your dryer. Your lint trap only collects a portion of the lint produced during a drying cycle. The rest of the lint gets deposited in your dryer vent where it can build up and over time restrict the flow of hot air through the vent.
Just like your fireplace and chimney, failure to properly clean and maintain your dryer vent can result in a dryer fire. Most home fires in the United States are attributed to dyer fires.
