Burlington Dryer Vent Cleaning
Wizard Urges DIY Homeowners to have Professional Dryer Vent Inspection
The Wizard explains the urgency of proper installation and maintenance of all clothes dryers, gas & electric; commercial and residential
Burlington KY – The Dryer Vent Cleaning Burlington Wizard urges DIY homeowners to schedule a dryer vent inspection and maintenance service. Dryer vent installation is a simple concept, but there are some critical mistakes often made by DIY homeowners and handymen. The Wizard finds and corrects problems with 90 percent of dryer vent systems installed by homeowners. Most systems that are over 10 years old or have never been serviced by a qualified dryer exhaust technician do not meet current safety standards.
The most common problem revealed in a dryer vent inspection is the material used for the dryer duct. Plastic, vinyl or flexible foil dryer ducts should be replaced with solid metal dryer venting for safety and efficiency. All dryers should be vented outdoors and the system must be properly installed. Even the very best dryer vent system installed by Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.dryerventcleaningboonecounty.blogspot.com/) will require maintenance. Here are some signs that dryer vent cleaning service is needed:
• Increased drying time
• Clothes are hot after a dryer cycle
• The outside of the dryer is hot while in use
• The laundry room is unusually hot and humid while the dryer is running
• Windows fog up when operating the dryer
• Little or no lint on the dryer filter
• Lint accumulated behind the dryer
• Little or no visible exhaust coming from the vent outside
Some dryer vent systems are very easy to clean while others are longer, with one more bends. The homeowner will do their best and clean what they can easily reach. Sadly, the most difficult areas to access pose the greatest danger. Lint has no problem getting into the hard to reach places, so cleaning most of the dryer duct is not good enough. Air flow will be obstructed when lint accumulates anywhere in the dryer vent system. The Burlington Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard will perform a complete dryer vent inspection including an airflow analysis to be sure the system is working at peak performance.

A clogged dryer duct can cause a number of problems including increased humidity and indoor air contaminants like mold. A leak in the system can cause dryer exhaust to leak into the home. The moist lint trapped in the dryer duct is a perfect breeding ground for mold.
Gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide threat when not properly vented. All dryers produce lint which is flammable and failure to remove lint build up will eventually lead to a dryer fire.
There are many benefits to having regularly scheduled dryer vent inspection and service including energy savings and dryer fire prevention. The fee for service quickly pays for itself in reduced energy bills, better dryer performance and longer dryer life. Visit http://www.burlingtonky.dryerventcleaningnow.com/ to learn more.
