If you're wondering whether it's time for a professional dryer vent cleaning or a new dryer vent installation, watch for the following signs: 

Longer Drying Times 

Clothes taking longer to dry than usual may indicate blockages or vent installation issues. When we install new dryer vents, you'll be amazed at how much time you save. 

Burning Smell During Use 

A burning odor when running your dryer can signal lint buildup in the vent, which poses a fire risk. Proper dryer vent installation should not result in any burning smells. 

Hot Dryer Exterior 

Excessive heat on the dryer's exterior could mean the vent is blocked or improperly installed. 

Visible Lint Buildup 

Lint gathering around the outside vent is often a sign that your dryer vent needs attention.

Here are some of the benefits that professional dryer vent cleaning provides:

• Fire Prevention - On average, a fire involving the dryer occurs every 37 minutes in the U.S., most caused by a failure to clean the vent line.
• Health and Safety - Clean vent lines reduce the risk of mold or mildew - dryers expel about a ½ gallon of moisture per load - and toxic carbon monoxide gas created by gas dryers.
• Energy Efficiency - Dryers are one of the top energy-consuming appliances in your home. Clean vents reduce drying time and extra cycles, saving you money!
• Extended Dryer Life - A clean vent line puts less wear and tear on your dryer, ensuring it operates efficiently and lasts longer.
• Save Time - Your time is valuable; don’t waste it waiting for extended or extra drying cycles.
• Increase Clothing Life - Clogged dryer vents increase heat and cycle times, which can damage clothing fibers, causing your favorite clothes to wear out before they should.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission and dryer manufacturers recommend servicing your dryer and vent at least once a year. This can vary depending on your dryer usage. If you run your dryer more than twice a week, have your vent inspected every 6 to 8 months to ensure proper maintenance.

Properly cleaning a dryer vent requires experience and expertise. The actual cleaning process will vary depending on factors like the vent system's length, location, and condition. We use a variety of tools and professional techniques to ensure your vent is properly cleaned and maintained, and our professionals ensure proper clean-up after every job.

Measuring a system’s airflow and static pressure are just two ways a Dryer Vent Wizard service professional will assess your vent’s performance. Before and after readings allow our professionals to identify issues with your dryer system and ensure that it operates properly at the end of our visit.
