The Importance of Having Dryer vents Professionally Cleaned

Updated: Jan 1, 2023

A clogged dryer vent is a major fire hazard because the hot air can build up, and cause a fire.

Moisture can also build up & cause mold and mildew, a serious health risk for those with allergies and asthma. Having a dryer vent professionally cleaned might not seem like an important task, but it is something that is essential to a dryer vent’s efficiency, effectiveness, and safety.

Manage The Risk of Dryer Fires

A clogged dryer vent can become an even more serious fire hazard than it already is if the moisture that builds up there starts to catch fire and then spreads to other combustible items.


That’s why it’s so important to have your vents professionally cleaned by people who know exactly how to do it without damaging anything or creating any additional risk. When your dryer vent is cleaned, you’re also getting them inspected for any other possible issues to ensure everything is working properly.



Avoid The Risk of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Whenever using your dryer, anything that goes through it must come out completely dry. The vents have to do their job to transport the warm air and ensure there’s no moisture left over in the vents. Moisture can cause mold and mildew, a serious health risk for those with allergies and asthma.


It’s also a serious health risk for anyone who uses the vents if they have carbon monoxide gas seeping into them from an improperly maintained gas appliance. Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, and, most importantly, deadly!


When CO gas builds up in areas not meant to have it, people can get sick or even die due to exposure. That’s why professional dryer vent cleaning is so important. Having reliable professionals to look after your home’s Appliances & HVAC is the best way to keep everyone in your household safe and secure.


Longevity of Your Dryer

One of the biggest reasons to have your dryer vent professionally cleaned by a professional is the longevity of your appliance. These days, more and more homeowners are leaning towards purchasing energy-efficient appliances and products because they save money on utilities without sacrificing comfort or performance. But that doesn’t mean you should toss away your old dryers because they aren’t as energy efficient as they used to be.


If you get a new, more energy-efficient washer and dryer, the new model may not have parts available if a repair is needed. The old-style dryers can often last for many years, but when worn out, it’s time to replace them with energy-efficient ones. That’s also why it’s important to have your dryer vent cleaned so that it may continue to work for many years.
