What Can Cause My Dryer Vent To Become Clogged?

As the owner and operator of  AAA Duct Cleaning a lot of homeowners ask me about their dryer vent issues. One of those issues or questions is what could possibly cause my dryer vent to become blocked. My response is usually it could be a number of different things that can cause the dryer to not work properly and the dryer vent to become blocked.

Possible causes for a dryer vent blockage:

•  Birds nest: a bird may have nested in the dryer vent causing a complete blockage of the dryer vent exhaust.

• Lack of maintenance: a dryer vent that has never been cleaned will accumulate enough lint to cause a blockage of the dryer vent exhaust.

•  A deceased rodent: a rodent that has gotten stuck in the dryer vent will completely block the dryer vent exhaust causing your dryer not to work properly.

•  A broken or bent dryer vent: a broken or bent dryer vent may accumulate enough lint in the area of the break or bend and cause a complete blockage of the dryer vent exhaust.

•  Extremely long  dryer vent: a very long run of dryer vent exhaust piping needs to be maintained on a regular basis since the lint has such a long way to travel to exit the dryer vent. If not maintained on a regular basis a complete blockage can occur.

 Signs that the dryer vent exhaust is clogged:

•  Dryers will not work properly and frequently well ruin heating elements and blow thermal fuses within the appliance resulting in costly repairs.

•  Condensation or water spots on ceilings or water backing up into the transition duct.

• Humid laundry areas resulting from poor removal of condensation and heat.

 Prevention:

 Having your dryer vent inspected and cleaned annually will prevent costly appliance repairs, possible fire hazards, and higher electric bills. Contacting a professional dryer vent cleaning company that has the expertise and equipment to clean your dryer vent thoroughly will save the homeowner money and will give them peace of mind that their appliance will work regularly.

Health and Air Duct Cleaning The Correlation: Scenerio

There's been a debate about the correlation between air duct cleaning and health. The EPA currently states that there is no proof that having the air duct system cleaned improves inhabitants health. Although there have been no case-by-case studies involving individuals with allergies to specific things such as dust mites, insects, or pet hair. So for this article I will write a scenario about individuals that may be allergic to one of the above mentioned allergy triggers.

Scenario:

Robert and his wife have just bought a home and begin to see changes in their health such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and respiratory issues. Robert decides to call a carpet cleaning company to clean the carpets and rid his home of allergens. The carpet cleaning goes well and Robert thinks everything is going to be fine. A couple of days pass and the previous symptoms persist and so Roberts wife suggests to have the air ducts cleaned. A professional air duct cleaning company comes to Roberts home and reveals that Robert has an accumulation of dust and pet dander in the ducts and air handler. This professional  air duct cleaning company uses agitation to remove the dirt and dander from the ducts.  The technician recommends a UV purification light to help sterilize the air to help kill any germs and viruses that may recirculate through the duct system during normal operation. Robert reluctantly agrees to install a UV purification system on top of the air duct cleaning. The technician also recommends purchasing a better air filter that will filter particles more efficiently. the technician suggests a pleated filter with a merv rating of 6 to 13 for 13 being the best. After completing the cleaning and assessing the technician leaves and a week passes and the symptoms have gone.

 This is just a scenario that could possibly happen or be happening to some homeowners. Pet dander and debris can all be allergy triggers but with proper air duct cleaning techniques and procedures the homeowner can rest assured that their health will be restored.

Should I Clean My Dryer Vent Myself or Have a Professional do it?

Hello, my name is Daryle Wattson and I have been in the  HVAC industry for over 10 years. On the Internet I have read many question and answer articles about how to clean dryer vents and if a homeowner should clean their own dryer vent and how. In this post I will give you an example of someone with no experience cleaning their own dryer vent, okay. In addition, I will give you information on why a professional may be a better choice when cleaning a dryer vent.

 A homeowner decided to clean her own dryer vent because she was having issues with the clothes drying. It seemed that it was taking the clothes more than one cycle to dry. After reading a couple of articles online about dryer vent cleaning the homeowner decided to take matters into her own hands. The homeowner headed onto the roof with a metal pipe in hand and unscrewed the dryer vent cap. This so-called informed homeowner takes the pipe and shoves it down the dryer vent duct several times. Thinking that the duct is clean the homeowner resumes her wonderful life. A few months pass and the homeowner goes into the attic to store some boxes left over from the holidays. Once in the attic the homeowner turns on the light and discovers lint and moisture has been escaping into her attic from a broken dryer vent pipe. The homeowner now has to call a professional to repair and properly clean the dryer vent because she had only read a few articles online about dryer vent cleaning.

 Believe it or not the short story I told you was not a story but true fact. This is happening all over the country due to people not having proper training on dryer vent duct code, installation, and proper cleaning techniques. The benefits of having a professional clean your dryer vent may save you money in the long term. Shoving a pipe down the dryer duct is not the proper way to clean a dryer vent so having a professional inspect, clean, and test your dryer vent is the way to go. For little over $100 you can have a professional come to your home and do all the things that I just mentioned. The peace of mind that a professional offers should be worth the hundred dollars. Knowing your home is safe from dryer fires and condensation damage brings me to one conclusion. Having a professional clean your dryer vent at least once a year to ensure your home is safe from potential hidden dangers such as lint buildup resulting from lack of maintenance is key.

Dryer Vent Cleaning..What To Consider When Looking For A Company.

When looking for a dryer vent cleaning company the homeowner has to take some things into consideration. For example, does the company have the training to accomplish the job. Second, does the dryer vent cleaning company have the right tools and do they have a good reputation. These examples are some of the things the homeowner should ask themselves when searching for a dryer vent cleaning company.

Dryer duct cleaning is a vital part of home maintenance and can be overlooked at times. Dryer vents are used to remove excess lint and moisture from your dryer. This is accomplished by the use of a sheet metal pipe exiting your dryer to the outside of your home. If this duct becomes blocked or broken problems will arise such as, clothes taking longer to dry and in some extreme cases dryer fires. Some examples of a blockage could be a freshly built birds nest or a dead animal lodged inside of the duct itself. Every year there are numerous homes that are badly damaged or burn down because of dryer duct issues. To prevent this from happening your dryer vent should be cleaned and inspected annually.

Dryer duct cleaning should be done by a professional with the training and tools to accomplish the job successfully without damaging the home. Some things to look for in a dryer vent cleaning company is reputation. As the homeowner check local reviews for dryer ventilation cleaning companies on Angie's list. A company with an A or B is a great choice and you can be confident the job will be done correctly. Additionally, pick a company that has a great price point that won't break the bank. Gathering estimates from the top three companies is usually a good way to go. Also, look for specials and discounts in places like Craigslist.com and Google to find the lowest price for the company of choice. Also ask the technician questions about the procedure and what you can do to help assist in the prevention of lint build-up inside the dryer vent.

Finally, dryers also should be inspected annually by an appliance repair specialist to help prevent unnecessary expenses like, burned out heating elements or shorted limit switches because of a clogged dryer exhaust vent. So seeking professional help will give peace of mind and assure that the dryer is in operational condition.

Summary:When looking for a dryer vent cleaning company the homeowner has to take some things into consideration. For example, does the company have the training to accomplish the job. Second, does the dryer vent cleaning company have the right tools and do they have a good reputation.
