Dryer Vent Cleaning
Neglecting dryer vent cleaning can lead to a dangerous buildup of lint and debris, increasing the risk of dryer fires. Additionally, it can hinder the efficiency of your dryer, resulting in longer drying times and higher energy bills. Our experts at Cornerstone IAQ Services today are here to ensure your family's safety and well-being.
Why Dryer Vent Cleaning Matters?
Causes
Dryers operate by circulating hot air through the drum, carrying lint with it, which is typically filtered by the lint trap. However, if this trap isn't routinely cleaned, it leads to the accumulation of highly flammable material and restricted airflow for the hot air. As airflow becomes more constrained, the air temperature rises, increasing the risk of igniting the lint.
Prevention
FEMA highlights that a significant 70 percent of air vent fires result from a "failure to clean" the vent system. The most effective step you can take to safeguard your home from dryer vent fires is regular lint trap cleaning, recommended at least once per week.
Safety First
If your clothes dryer requires more than one cycle to dry your clothing, it could signal a potential fire hazard lurking within your dryer. Address this concern promptly by scheduling a comprehensive dryer vent cleaning with Cornerstone IAQ Services today. It's important to note that a full load of wet clothes in a dryer contains approximately half a gallon of water, underscoring the critical importance of dryer vent safety.
