Why Clean your Dryer Vent:
1. Your will lower the cost of your utilities, your dryer will be running at its best, resulting in lowered dry times thus saving you money.

3. Laundry room or area hotter than normal.
4. Signs of water damage where the vent goes through the wall or travels along the celling.
5. Your dryer shuts off from overheating.
Cleaning process to clean Dryer Vents:
1. The Air Process: In this process the cleaning tech runs a long air hose with a special tip on the end that blows back the air, resulting in the lint being blown back and out. This dryer cleaning process results cleans the bulk of the lint but does not scrub the inner walls. This process is done from the outside, so the cleaning tech really does not know how far he has gone in, only till the lint stops coming out. The inside of the dryer will still need cleaned. This method is not our preferred process of cleaning.
2. The Flex Rod and Brush process: With this process the clothes dryer is removed from the wall a high power vacuum is connected to the vent, flex rods with a brush on the end routing at a low rpm are feed through the dryer vent gently scrubbing the inner walls, all lint is vacuumed away. This process is done from the inside and the outside when the air flow is reversed, both sides of the vent should be cleaned. The dryer is than cleaned out inside and reconnected and tested for air flow. This process is best for dryer vent cleaning, it may take a little longer to complete but your will leave behind less lint residue in the pipe resulting in a slower build up.
