- Dirty and clogged dryer vents is the number one cause for dryer fires.
- Lint buildup in the dryer vent system reduces air flow, which can lead to excessive heat build up within the venting system and the dryer appliance, resulting in possible fire.
- Dryer lint is highly flammable. Just a tiny spark or source of heat can cause lint caught in a filter or dryer vent to catch fire.
- You can prevent dangerous lint build up and fires with proper dryer vent cleaning and regular maintenance.
- To make sure your dryer is working safely and efficiently, the Canada Consumer Products Safety Commission recommends having your dryer vents cleaned at least once a year.

Why Clean Your Dryer Vents?
Prevent Clothes Dryer Fires
- Is your laundry taking longer to dry?

- Do you notice a burning smell?
- Can you see lint or debris in the dryer hose or around the outside dryer flap?
- When was the last time you cleaned out your dryer vent?
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Lint build-up can cause reduced airflow, which in turn causes overheating. When this happens the high temperature limit safety switch cycles on and off.
Most switches weren’t designed to cycle on and off continuously which can cause them to fail.
The Consumer Products Safety Commission estimates that there are an estimated 15,000 fires, 10 deaths, and 310 injuries associated with clothes dryers. This also produces over $84,000,000 in property damages.
Accumulation of lint leads to reduced exhaust airflow. Lint is highly combustible and provides prime conditions for fire.
Proper airflow can also decrease dryer time, thus decreasing operating costs. It helps the dryer to operate efficiently, which can extend the life of the dryer. An extra bonus is that clothes will dry at lower temperatures and in less time. This will help to prevent unnecessary wear and tear on clothing, thus extending their life.
Who Needs This Service?
Almost Everyone With a Dryer!
Especially those homes with dryers located on inside walls, or those located on second floor laundry rooms. These centralized locations cause dryers to be vented greater distances, up to or over 50 feet. This can result in lint buildup and other obstructions which can seriously affect the performance of dryers.
Most of the dryer manufacturers recommend annually delinting of the dryer vents for the dryer to work at its maximum efficiency.
If you own an older home you may have a duct system that is possibly more restrictive than today’s standards. If so, it’s even more important to have your dryer vents cleaned regularly.
Why Use Our System?
Our system combines one of the most power vacuums in the industry today with a strategic rotating brush.
This enables us to remove almost any type of blockage – including birds nests – from your dryer’s duct system.
Also our technician will inspect your system for any damaged or disconnected vents. We can also tell you if your venting system is up to your dryer manufacturer’s recommended specifications.
With lower utility bills, and the longer life of your dryer and clothing, this service will pay for itself – not to mention the peace of mind you will have in knowing that you have averted a potentially dangerous fire hazard in your home.
