Dryer Vent Cleaning Services
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 16,000 clothes dryer fires result in 30 deaths, 370 injuries and over $80 million in property damage annually. The main culprit? Common household dryer lint. Clothes dryers with blocked vents run less efficiently. Which over time can wear down your dryer, or make it run significantly slower, costing you more money. Rodents have also been known to create nests in clogged dryer ducts, creating blockage and risk of fire.
We can inspect, clean and repair dryer ducts, reducing the risk of a fire.
How to inspect interior of dryer- Grab a flashlight- Remove lint trap from dryer- Push plastic spring loaded flap down and shine light into area below lint trap. If you see large amounts of lint you will need to have your dryer cleaned.
Inspecting exterior- Visually see lint on dryer vent cover flaps. Turn dryer on and check vent cover flaps. The airflow from the dryer should push flaps open all the way. If flaps are not opening correctly you should have them professionally inspected and cleaned.

Below are pictures of a dryer in Sioux Falls that started on fire just prior to cleaning. While outside inspecting a partially blocked exterior dryer vent there was a burning odor. This is what we found inside the clothes dryer. Lint must be removed from the lint trap every time a new load of clothes is dried. A combination of dryer heat and humidity from clothes attaches lint to the external dryer vent cover, internal ducts and inside the dryer. Longer drying times are the first warning that your dryer needs cleaning.
