Prevent Dryer Vent Fires
The dryer is an appliance found in almost every home and we use it weekly if not daily. Its main purpose is to take the heat and moisture out of your clothes, then to exhaust it through a vent to the outside. Dryers can be vented long distances and generally installed with bends. This creates more places where lint can collect and birds can nest. The last thing you are likely to be thinking about is the condition of your dryer vent.
Possible Dirty Dryer Vent Problems Include:
- Appliance Efficiency – A dirty vent waste energy, time, and money. Because the dryer will run longer than necessary.
- Wear and Tear – A Dryer taking twice as long to dry clothes will cut its lifetime in half and lead to expensive repairs.
- Carbon Monoxide – Gas dryers that are not exhausting correctly can cause carbon monoxide back up into the home.
- Obstructions – We have found nesting, dryer sheets, and pieces of clothes; along with lint so thick it blocks the vent.
- Fire and Property Damage – Your dryer and/or vent can ignite as a result of overheating and over worked safety controls.

Our Customer’s Questions
How often should I clean my dryer vent?
The Chimney Safety Institute “recommends a annual inspection to ensure efficient operation of your clothes dryer system.” The Consumer Product Safety Commission states in their report to “check the dryer vent and exhaust vent periodically to ensure that exhaust air is escaping.”
Every vent is installed differently; it can depend on the length of your vent, how many turns and how often the dryer is used every week. Always watch for these warning signs, your dryer getting hotter than normal, clothes taking longer to dry, and if the dryer is cutting off before the clothes are dry.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
How do you get all of the lint out of the dryer vent?
There are several different applications depending on how your dryer is situated. The most common technique is with the help of the blower motor we use very flexible extension rods with a bristle brush on the end. The rods will easily navigate several 90 degree turns in your vent line.
This is on a rotor system so the spin action of the brush really gives the vent a thorough cleaning. The technician will move the rod/brush in and out repeatedly until the vent is clear of lint and obstructions.
The most common way is done from the outside which keeps your home spotless. This is an extremely effective method to give your dryer vent a clearer passage for the moist hot air to move through.
Can you replace the old worn out hose behind my dryer?
Yes we can! We often see the white vinyl vent coming out the back of dryers we service. This type of vent pipe is very highly flammable and causes dangerous fumes when burning.
Our trucks are equipped to completely replace an old unsafe dryer flex hose with a commercial grade flex hose where needed in most cases.
What areas in Arizona do you service?
We provide valley wide service in the Greater Phoenix Area. If you live in the far outer areas, your area could be serviced only seasonally and with a possible trip charge. Please call to confirm.
Why is it important to clean my dryer vent regularly?
Regular dryer vent cleaning is essential to prevent lint buildup, reduce the risk of fires, improve dryer efficiency, and prolong the lifespan of your dryer. It also helps lower energy bills by reducing drying times.
How can I tell if my dryer vent is clogged?
Signs of a clogged dryer vent include longer drying times, clothes not drying completely, a hot dryer or laundry room, a burning smell, and visible lint or debris around the vent area.
Is it safe to clean my dryer vent on my own?
While some homeowners can clean the dryer vent themselves, it’s often safer and more effective to hire a professional who has the necessary tools and expertise to ensure a thorough cleaning.
What is the process for cleaning a dryer vent?
The process typically involves disconnecting the dryer, cleaning the lint trap, using specialized equipment to remove lint and debris from the vent, and then reassembling the system. A professional will ensure all parts are cleaned and inspected.
How long does a dryer vent cleaning appointment usually take?
The duration of a dryer vent cleaning appointment can vary based on the length and complexity of the vent system, but it typically takes between 1 to 2 hours to complete.
