Houston Carpet Co. professionally
inspects and
cleans clothing dryers for homeowners and in
commercial buildings. Poorly maintained
dryer vents cause fire hazards and cost
substantially more to operate.
Dryer vent cleaning
improves the safety and efficiency of your
dryer installation.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's there
are thousands of dryer vent fire each year.
Lint and additional debris can build up in your clothes
dryer vent and may cause your dryer to exhaust at less than
optimum efficiency. This creates potentially hazardous
conditions including carbon monoxide intrusion and the
possibility for exhaust fires. If a gas clothes dryer is
improperly vented or the exhaust duct itself is blocked by
lint or debris, carbon monoxide can be forced back into your
living space.
Annual dryer exhaust vent inspections (also known as dryer
exhaust duct inspections) are more necessary than ever
before due to the complex construction of homes built today.
Newer homes tend to have dryers located away from an outside
wall in bathrooms, kitchens and in hall closets which is
convenient, but potentially dangerous from a safety
standpoint. These new locations mean that dryers tend to be
vented longer distances and vents are generally installed
with more bends to accommodate the extended path they must
take through the home. As a result, dryer ducts are harder
to access and this additional length creates more places
where lint can collect and animals and birds can hide.
Reasons for inspection and cleaning:
Reduces "wasted electricity" and "appliance stress". Use of
a dryer with a dirty vent can cause the dryer to run longer
to dry the same amount of clothes because the hot air being
expelled cannot freely exit the vent. Longer drying time
takes more electricity and puts added stress on the
appliance.
