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.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Huntersville, NC

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.

Charlotte, NC -- Dryer vent cleaning promotes proper air-flow to improve the efficiency of your clothes dryer and prevent dryer fires. Dryer vent cleaning saves Americans hundreds of dollars annually on energy bills while eliminating a potential fire hazard.

Dave Lavalle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Charlotte, explains why Dryer vent cleaning is so important. “As your dryer vent system becomes clogged with lint and other debris, drying time increases. If you notice your dryer taking more than one cycle to properly dry your laundry, lint build-up is most likely the cause. As drying time increases and your dryer continues to labor, the system becomes overheated. Hot air and moisture cannot escape through clogged vents. This increases energy consumption while eventually leading to a fire.”

Dave has noticed that many people think their dryer is old and worn out when drying time increases. Dave explains this common misconception to all his customers. “Don’t be fooled by the idea that the dryer is old and wearing out; this is rarely, if ever, the cause of this type of problem. When air flow is restricted the moist heat cannot escape the dryer drum; therefore, it would make sense that the clothes would not dry. In fact, on average six to ten of my customers' per month replace a perfectly good clothes dryer when a dryer vent cleaning would have do the job.”

Dryer Vent Wizard technicians are dryer exhaust specialists who provide an important service while educating customers on how their dryer vent system works. Dave Lavalle has seen a variety of dryer vent systems. “Some dryers are located on an outside wall and have a very short dryer duct; others might be located upstairs, in the middle of the home, in a closet or hallway. These dryers will have very long ducts with one or more turns and they might be vented through the roof.”

A professional who specializes in dryer vent cleaning will have the tools needed to access all areas of a dryer vent system. Dryer vent cleaning is recommended annually to prevent dryer fires and save energy.

The Charlotte Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard urges Property Managers to Clean Dryer Vents

Foil venting is not up to code and can cut off air flow because it is too soft. Metal venting, as seen in this picture creates better air flow by holding its shape.

Dryer vent cleaning is the number one way to prevent dryer related fires. Most dryer fires are caused by failure to clean dryer vents. Dryer vent cleaning also promotes maximum dryer performance while extending the life of the appliance.

Dryer vent cleaning is often overlooked by homeowners, especially if they have never experienced a problem. Homeowners are responsible for taking care of their own home and maintaining their own appliances. But what about tenants who live in multi-unit apartment buildings and attached condos?

Dave Lavalle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, dryer vent cleaning Charlotte, NC said, “Dryer Related fires are especially devastating when they occur in multi-unit apartment buildings. It only takes one clogged dryer vent to leave many families homeless. Worse yet, more lives are at risk in apartment building fires. People get hurt or lose their lives; family pets are killed; residents lose their home and possessions.”

Dryer Vent Wizard technicians are well-known for their expertise in dryer vent services. In addition, they also provide tips for consumers to ensure dryer safety and dryer efficiency. Dave Lavalle likes to blogs to promote public awareness on the importance of dryer vent maintenance.

Dave Lavalle advises people who live in attached condos or multi-unit buildings to talk to their neighbors about the importance of dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation. “In most cases, this is really the landlord’s responsibility,” said Smith. “However, many property managers do not give dryer vents a thought until they experience a loss due to a dryer fire.”

Dave Lavalle is franchise owner/operator of Dryer Vent Wizard of Charlotte, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes, a home service franchise based off of Johnston Rd in South Charlotte, NC. Dave advises property managers to have their dryer vent systems inspected to be sure they are properly installed and maintained.
