Dryer vent cleaning
Cleaning the dryer vent will cleanse the system, removing all debris that has built up over time. Cleaning the dryer vent is an often overlooked, but important step in maintaining your home or building. A good rule of thumb is to have dryer vent and air duct cleaning performed at the same time. Cleaning the dryer vent is also significant in reducing the risk of fire to your home. According to a recent FEMA study, 28% of residential clothes dryer fires were caused by dust, fiber and lint. Every year, there are an estimated 2,900 clothes dryer fires causing an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries and $35 million in property loss.

ABOUT DRYER VENT CLEANING
Longer Drying Times : If your dryer takes longer than one cycle to dry your clothes, you may require a dryer vent cleaning professional. Lint buildup in your dryer’s system can make your machine work harder and dry less efficiently. With a clean dryer duct, dryers generally work better and dry clothes faster than before.
When your dryer vents are clear, one cycle is usually enough to dry a load of clothes. If the dryer has difficulty removing water because the vents are clogged, one cycle will not be enough. You will have to run the same load again, maybe more than once to get them to dry properly. This can add up to more than $20 extra on your electricity bill each month.
If it has been a while since your last cleaning, then it could make a big difference. All that extra lint that is blocking your vent is slowing down your dryer. Not only will your clothes dry faster but you will save money.
Putting your dryer through extra strain as it attempts to function with a backed-up vent can also be harmful to it. With nowhere to exit, the excess heat it generates can damage its internal electrical components.
