Residential Dryer Vent Cleaning

4 Reasons to Have Long’s Clean Your Dryer Vent:

   Clogged vents restrict the airflow to your dryer. Have you ever noticed that your clothes might take two or more cycles to dry? One reason for this might be that your dryer vent is clogged with lint and other debris. Removing the contaminants will allow the air to circulate and properly dry your clothes in one cycle, saving you money on your energy bills.

   Debris in dryer vents is a serious fire hazard. Each year in the U.S., clogged dryer vents are responsible for 24,000 fires and $50 million in damage, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Fires can occur when lint builds up in the dryer or in the exhaust duct. Lint can block the flow of air, cause excessive heat build-up, and result in a fire in some dryers. To protect your family from the hazards of fire, dryer vents should be cleaned to remove lint, dust, and other debris that accumulates in the vent line.

   A clean dryer vent will allow the dryer to run more efficiently. Imagine placing a week’s worth of garbage under the hood of your car. Can you imagine how your car would run? The same is true of your dryer vent. Every time you run your dryer, lint and, debris makes its way through your dryer and becomes lodged in your dryer vent. Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there. In fact, what you can’t see is what should concern you. We heard of a client who purchased three dryers in five years! The Problem? Clogged dryer vent!
