Huntersville, NC May 3, 2010
This picture is from a Huntersville's home at Highland Creek that had been vacant for over a year. The birds had nested so deeply in the vent that their nesting material made it all the way down the wall and to the back of the dryer. The birds also pecked away most of the vent cover and broke the venting pipe. But after a few hours of work and a bird proof vent cover, Dryer Vent Wizard had it all back at it should be.
Dryer vent cleaning business picks up in the Spring time when people are doing their annual spring cleaning. Dryer vent cleaning is recommended annually…it doesn’t matter what time of year it is done, as long as it gets done. Dave Lavalle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Charlotte, NC notices how business tends to pick up more in the Spring time.
Dave said, “More people are having their dryer vent system inspected and cleaned in the spring time, once they have recovered from winter time heating bills and holiday expenses,” said Lavalle. “There is no right or wrong time to clean dryer vents. Over 15,000 dryer fires are reported annually, most of them are caused by failure to clean dryer vents, and they happen at all times of the year.” In fact there were two dryer fires within Mecklenburg County in April.
Dave Lavalle advises his customers to watch for warning signs that their dryer vent system is compromised, such as, when a dryer takes longer than 45 minutes to dry a load of laundry. Other signs include the room becoming unusually hot and humid when the dryer is running or when clothes or the dryer is hot to touch during a cycle.
Homeowners should check the dryer vent on the outside of their home to be sure it is working properly. “You should be able to see the exhaust coming out when the dryer is running,” said Buie. “The vent flaps should be open when the dryer is running and closed when it is not. Check for damage, cracks, or evidence that small animals may have entered.”
Dave Lavalle began his dryer vent cleaning career on August 12, 2004, serving the Boston, MA area. In 2006 Dave move to Charlotte, NC with his wife Lynne and 9 of their 10 children. Dave Lavalle now provides dryer vent cleaning, repair and installation for homes and businesses within Mecklenburg County, Charlotte, Davidson, Huntersville, Cornelius, Mint Hill, Matthews, Pineville.
