Dryer Vent Cleaning

Most homeowners don’t think about their dryer vent, but it plays a big role in keeping your home safe and efficient. Every time you run your dryer, lint and moisture are pushed out through the vent. Over time, lint can build up inside that vent and restrict airflow.

When airflow is blocked, your dryer has to work harder and run longer just to dry your clothes. This means higher energy bills, more wear and tear on your dryer, and extra heat building up in your laundry area. Even more importantly, lint is highly flammable, making clogged dryer vents a common cause of household fires.

Regular dryer vent cleaning helps hot air and moisture escape properly, so clothes dry faster, your dryer runs more efficiently, and your home stays safer. It’s a simple maintenance step that protects your appliance, saves money, and gives you peace of mind.
