Westford Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Combines Service with Education to Promote Safety and Energy Savings

Both heat and airflow are required for a dryer to function properly. Heat without airflow leads to increased humidity in the home and a serious fire hazard

Unfortunately, few people think of their clothes dryer as a potential threat.

Webb Dickson is a dryer vent service technician and owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, serving customers in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. It was by lucky coincidence that he received a call from one customer who was having problems. The dryer produced plenty of heat, but clothes were not getting dry. The customer did not know what to do because the dryer was brand new and not working any better than the old one did. As she opened the window to release hot, humid air produced by the dryer, she noticed the Wizard’s van across the street and wondered if he could help. The van was clearly marked with the phone number, so she gave him a call.

Webb was dispatched to the couple’s home after completing the job for the neighbor. The first thing he noticed was the old vinyl dryer vent tube leading to the vent outside. It was completely clogged with lint. Webb explained to them how the blocked air flow created the slow drying problem and a potential fire hazard. He could not believe they hooked the old dryer duct to the new clothes dryer without even cleaning it out. Professional dryer vent installation and dryer vent cleaning by the Wizard (http://dryerventcleaningmiddlesexcounty.blogspot.com/) will eliminate the hazard and improve dryer performance.

Webb explained how the old system is not compliant with today’s safety standards. He installed a new dryer vent system with rigid metal dryer ducts to improve airflow.

The properly installed dryer vent system cured the problem and eliminated a potential fire hazard. Education is a vital part of the Wizard’s service and Webb’s job is not complete until the customer understands the importance of professional dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation to keep the clothes dryer operating safely and efficiently.

Dryer Vent Cleaning: What's in Your Dryer Vent, asks the Wizard of Westford

Have you ever thought of where all the lint and hot air from your clothes dryer goes as it works to dry your laundry? You probably think about the lint trap, that part that you can pull out to remove the lint after each load is completed. Sure, some of it goes there, but that is not a one-stop catch all for all the lint that comes off of your clothes. You need to get closer acquainted with your dryer duct and vent pipe.

The duct and vent on your dryer are the things that take all that hot air, and some lint and dust from your dryer, through your laundry room and then vent it outside.

Depending on where the dryer is in your home, the path your vent pipe and ductwork have to take could be a long one. If you have a home where the laundry room is near an interior bathroom, there is a vent pipe from that point to the edge of your house, sometimes 20-30 feet away.

Stuck Dust and Lint

Consider what happens to the dust that is getting pushed through the dryer vent system. While some of it will make it all the way outside, not all of it will be this lucky. Some of it will start to stick to the walls of the dryer vent. A little of this is not a problem, but it seems lint likes company and more and more will continue to grab on to the first pieces and make a larger clog.

Solid Lint

If you are in a humid area or there are major temperature changes, moisture can start to seep into the dryer vent and mix with the lint. This is a lethal combination. Once dust and lint get wet and dry they become something similar to dried mud on the inside of your dryer vent. While dry lint can be brushed away, once it's wet and solidifies, it's a harder job.

The Solution

The only solution is prevention and maintenance. You should make sure that the whole duct and vent line gets a complete check at least once a year. Maybe you can add it on to your list of spring-cleaning items.

If you have a large family and are always running clothes through the system, you may want to clean dryer vents twice a year.

Dryer Vent Cleaning and Maintenance Tips

Being a homeowner is a lot of responsibility; there is always something that needs attention, including yard maintenance, appliance maintenance, plumbing, electrical and much more! It all can be very overwhelming; some important things are often forgotten.

Homeowners often neglect to properly maintain their clothes dryer vent. We throw in a load of wet laundry, set the dial and take it for granted as it usually gives us the result we are looking for; dry clothes.

Unless you’re one of the unfortunate people who have experienced a dryer fire you probably don’t give it much thought. Do you know that over 15,000 dryer fires are reported every year? Most of these fires are caused by failure to maintain with proper dryer vent cleaning.

Your dryer vent system removes the moisture, heat and lint from your laundry as it dries. If you have a gas dryer, it also removes gas by-products, including carbon monoxide that you don’t want leaking into your home

The lint screen only traps about 60% of the lint removed from tumbling laundry. The other 40% escapes into your dryer vent system where it builds up and restricts air flow. As the lint builds up, heat and moisture cannot escape and clothes take longer to dry.

Sticky, moist lint attracts more lint as it builds up in the dryer vent system. Lint is flammable; a dryer fire will spread very quickly. A professional dryer vent cleaning specialist can inspect your system to be sure it meets today’s safety codes. Not only is dryer vent cleaning essential; proper installation using the right type of venting material is important to ensure safety.
