Dryer Vent Cleaning Tips from the Wizard of Charlotte, NC.

Dryer vent cleaning is necessary for everyone who owns a clothes dryer. Dryer vent cleaning opens the air-way to allow heat and moisture to escape as your laundry dries. Dryer vent cleaning promotes maximum dryer performance and eliminates a fire hazard.

If you live in an older home, you may appreciate its beauty and charm; however, there are some common hazards found in older homes.

When an older home was built, and the appliances were installed, there were very different safety codes in place. Back then vinyl or flexible foil vents were commonly used for dryer vent systems. Over the years it has been determined that these flammable materials are not safe for venting your clothes dryer.

While you may not want to think of your dryer as something that can cause a fire, the reality is that it produces hot air and it is a machine, so there is always a possibility of sparks being created. The type of duct you have attached to your dryer can make the difference between a spark that harmlessly fizzles out and one that grows to a rapidly spreading fire.

There is no reason to sacrifice the charm of an older home; however, it would be a good idea to have it inspected for safety. If you do not know what type of dryer vent system you have then it is likely to be serious fire hazard. A dryer exhaust specialist can inspect your dryer vent system and make necessary upgrades to ensure you dryer is operating safely and efficiently.
