Area residents appreciate Dryer Vent Wizard




Area residents appreciate the Wizard for providing tips and information to avoid appliance disasters leading to serious property damage

Regular dryer vent cleaning service will prevent dryer fires and improve dryer performance. According to Dave Lavalle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, most dryer fires are the result of failure to clean dryer vents. “Lint build-up in the dryer duct restricts air flow and prevents heat and moisture from escaping,” said Lavalle. “If left unchecked the dryer can overheat and cause a fire.”

Dryer Vent Wizard is a national franchise company specializing in dryer vent services while educating their customers about dryer fire prevention and energy savings. Making clothes dryers safer and greener is the Wizard’s passion.

Note from customer: “Michael Lavalle (son of owner Dave Lavalle) was very helpful, friendly, and calm. Happy to recommend him and the work he did." Tolland Ln. Charlotte, NC 28277

Dave’s customers are often amazed to learn how important dryer vent cleaning service is. Note from customer: “Dryer was amazing after venting was replaced - thank you! Also thanks for spending the time w/ me + discussing future plans - impacted amount of venting!"

Though dryer vents are their major focus, the Dryer Vent Wizard will also replace standard washing machine hoses with stainless steel hoses to prevent bursting. “Most people do not think about the constant pressure on their washing machine hoses,” said Lavalle. “If a water hose bursts the home could be completely flooded within minutes. Water valves to the washer should be turned off if residents are on vacation or away from home for an extended period of time.”

Dryer Vent Wizard is a member of the National Fire Protection Association and the largest chain of dryer vent cleaning, repair, replacement and alternation specialists in the U.S. with nearly 60 franchisees in major markets in the U.S.

The Wizard educates consumers on dryer vent fire safety and energy efficiency



Dryer vent cleaning can go a long way in energy savings. The average home spends nearly $2,000 per year on energy costs, with clothes dryers being a large energy consumer. Homeowners who think it is normal for their dryer to take more than one cycle to dry clothes -- think again. Clogged dryer vents can cause dryers to cost an additional $300 per year to operate. Dave Lavalle of Dryer Vent Wizard of Charlotte notes: "Too often I find that my customers buy a new dryer to solve their slow drying problem when the only problem was a clogged dryer vent."

A lot has been said about dryer vent cleaning to prevent dryer fires. The energy savings is yet another great reason to add dryer vent cleaning to the home maintenance schedule. “While consumers are becoming more aware of the need to conserve energy, they are still unaware that regular dryer vent cleaning can help cut energy consumption and bills,” Says Lavalle.

Dryer Vent Wizard is the nation’s largest chain of dryer vent cleaning, repair and installation specialists with over 50 locations. DVW technicians are well known for their excellent customer service and the valuable information they provide in addition to their service. “With energy costs rising, our role is as much about educating customers as it is providing dryer vent solutions,” says Mr. Lavalle.
“I perform a thorough 10-point inspection to indentify the extent of dryer vent problems and make the necessary corrections.”

Dryer Vent Wizard is a member of the National Fire Protection Association and the largest chain of dryer vent cleaning, repair, replacement and alteration specialists in the U.S.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Matthews, North Carolina.



This picture is from a 20+ year old home in Matthews, NC which most likely has never scheduled the dryer vent cleaning service.

How to Schedule Dryer Vent Cleaning According to the Dryer Vent Wizard:

Dryer vent cleaning should be added to everyone’s home and appliance maintenance schedules. Dryer vent cleaning is the number one way to eliminate a fire hazard and reduce the energy used by clothes dryers.

Dave Lavalle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, provides dryer vent cleaning, repair and installation services while educating consumers about the importance of proper maintenance. Dave recommends annual dryer vent cleaning for most people; however, those who have larger families or several large pets will need to clean dryer vents more often. Lint isn’t the only culprit that blocks dryer vents. Animal hair sticks to clothing and can be quite stubborn as it remains even after clothes are washed, so it ends up in the dryer vent system.

Other factors that determine how often dryer vent cleaning is necessary include the age of the dryer, the length of the dryer duct, and the amount of bends and turns in the duct leading to the dryer vent outside.

Dryer Vent Wizard provides professional dryer vent repair and installation services. Dryer vent systems made of flexible foil or vinyl should be replaced by a solid metal system. Dryer Vent Wizard installs dryer vent systems according to manufacturer’s safety standards.

Dryer Vent Wizard and Dave Lavalle provide dryer vent cleaning, repair and installation for homes and businesses within Mecklenburg County, Charlotte, Davidson, Huntersville, Cornelius, Mint Hill, Matthews, Pineville.

Dryer vent cleaning Charlotte Mecklenburg




Dryer vent cleaning eliminates a serious fire hazard and promotes maximum dryer performance. Lint is highly combustible and as seen in these pictures, it can also build up within the clothes dryer. It will ignite quickly, burn very hot and start a rapidly spreading fire.

Dave Lavalle of Dryer Vent Wizard of Charlotte/ Mecklenburg notes that when the dryer vent system is clogged with lint build-up, the dryer works harder and consumes more energy; while your laundry comes out slightly damp. This is because your dryer needs air flow in order to function properly. Without air flow, the heat and moisture cannot escape from the dryer drum. The dryer will get very hot, but if the moisture cannot evaporate then the laundry will not dry.

Eventually, the extreme heat can cause the dryer to throw a spark. Naturally, the spark will go into the dryer duct to ignite the flammable lint that is built up. In this case, the dryer lint fire is a very bad thing.

Good Dryer Lint Fire:

A good dryer lint fire is one you start yourself, in the outdoor grill or fire pit. Dryer lint is a very good fire starter and much cheaper than going out and buying charcoal lighter or other fire starter products. Dryer lint is an effective fire starter. All it needs is a spark to quickly start a hot burning fire. This is a good reason to get the lint out of your dryer vent system and into your fire pit!

Other Ways to Recycle Dryer Lint

Dryer vent cleaning goes a long way in energy savings. Poorly vented dryers can cost up to $300.00 more per year to operate. Reduce energy bills and eliminate a fire hazard by cleaning dryer vents at least once a year.

Even though dryer lint can be evil, it does have a few good uses. Those who are really into “green” living might recycle their dryer lint. Dryer lint can be added to your compost pile and spread into the flower or vegetable garden.

Dryer lint can be hung out in a mesh bag near the bird feeder. Birds will appreciate the nesting material.

Another use for dryer lint is to make a modeling dough out of it. This gives the kids something creative to do. Make the lint-dough as follows:

Mix 3 cups of dryer lint with 2 cups of water, 1 cup of flour and ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil into a pan. Stir over low heat until the mixture binds together to a smooth consistency. Pour onto a baking sheet coated with wax paper to cool.
