Ruckersville Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Urges DIY Homeowners to have Professional Dryer Vent Inspection

The Wizard explains the importance of professional dryer vent installation and regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning service

Ruckersville VA – The Ruckersville Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard advises DIY homeowners to have a dryer vent inspection and service by a qualified dryer exhaust technician. Dryer vent installation is a simple concept, but there are some common critical errors well-meaning handymen and DIY enthusiasts make. 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems that are not installed by the Wizard violate current safety standards.

Plastic, vinyl or flexible foil dryer ducts should be replaced with solid metal dryer venting for safety and efficiency. All dryers should be vented outdoors and the system must be properly installed. Dryer vent cleaning is also critical to maintain safety and efficiency. Even the very best dryer vent system installed by Dryer Vent Wizard will require maintenance.

Some dryer vent systems are very easy to clean while others are longer, with one more bends. The homeowner will do their best and clean what they can easily reach. Sadly, the most difficult areas to access pose the greatest danger. Lint has no problem getting into the hard to reach places, so cleaning most of the dryer duct is not good enough. Air flow will be obstructed when lint accumulates anywhere in the dryer vent system.

Paul Beum owns Dryer Vent Wizard (http://worldclassvents.dryerventcleaningnow.com/), serving the Blue Ridge area. He specializes in all dryer vent service, dryer vent inspection, cleaning, repair and new dryer vent installation in homes and businesses. Paul is concerned about the DIY homeowner who is unaware of the changes in dryer vent safety standards.

Here are some signs that dryer vent cleaning service is needed:

• Increased drying time
• Clothes are hot after a dryer cycle
• The outside of the dryer is hot while in use
• The laundry room is unusually hot and humid while the dryer is running
• Windows fog up when operating the dryer
• Little or no lint on the dryer filter
• Lint accumulated behind the dryer
• Little or no visible exhaust coming from the vent outside

Clogged dryer vents cause a number of problems including increased humidity in the home and indoor air contaminants like mold. A leak in the system can cause dryer exhaust to leak into the home. The moist lint trapped in the dryer duct is a perfect breeding ground for mold.

Gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide threat when not properly vented. All dryers produce lint which is flammable and failure to remove lint build up will eventually lead to a dryer fire.

There are many benefits to having regularly scheduled dryer vent service including energy savings and dryer fire prevention. The fee for service quickly pays for itself in reduced energy bills, better dryer performance and longer dryer life.

Paul Beum, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://worldclassvents.dryerventcleaningnow.com/), addresses several dryer related hazards, including home health threats caused by poor dryer ventilation. To date almost every home has a dryer. Whether gas or electric, a clogged dryer vent will restrict airflow which is the most important function of the dryer vent system. Gas dryers pose a carbon monoxide threat when not properly vented.

A clogged dryer vent is a source for mold and other indoor air contaminants that can lead to health issues for residents. The biggest concern with lint accumulation in the dryer duct is a fire hazard. Here are some facts Paul shares with his customers while servicing their dryer vent:

Dryer vent cleaning eliminates a fire hazard. Only about 60 percent of the lint produced by tumbling laundry is caught in the lint screen. The rest becomes trapped inside the dryer or in the dryer vent tube. This condition will restrict airflow, cause overheating and lead to a dryer fire.

Dryer vent cleaning improves dryer efficiency to reduce energy cost. Increased drying time is rarely a sign of wear or malfunction. It is almost always directly related to poor venting due to lint accumulation.

Dryer vent cleaning increases the life of the dryer. The clothes dryer is a simple but sturdy appliance. Proper maintenance will keep it performing well and hazard free.
