If you have one or more of the following problems you probably need your dryer vents cleaned:

*Dryer times taking longer

*Excess lint in dryer room

*Lint behind lint trap

*Moisture in dryer vents

*Lint coming out of vent caps

*Air not coming through vent caps

*Top of dryer getting hot

     Dryer vent cleaning improves the safety and efficiency of your dryer.  As dryer vents become filled with lint and other debris, drying time increases and may cause the dryer to overheat.  This increases energy consumption since the dryer has to run longer and may also cause fires in the dryer or the dryer duct. The Consumer Product Safety reports dryer related fires are on the increase.

     A Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician from Custom Chimney Sweeping has the tools and knowledge he needs to clean out your dryer vents.  While dryer vents are routinely blocked with lint, animal nesting is another frequent cause of dryer vent blockage.

Another problem created by blocked dryer vents serving gas dryers is the possibility of carbon monoxide seepage into your home.  If the dryer is not exhausting properly to the outdoors, carbon monoxide can back up into the home.

Your Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician can take readings of both flow and back pressure in the duct system.  By analyzing the readings taken, the technician will be able to determine the condition of the vent as well as the effectiveness of the cleaning. This helps to insure your dryer duct installation does not exceed recommended limits.

Only the Certified individuals who complete a study course and pass a stringent certification exam testing their knowledge of current codes and standards as well as acceptable service techniques are qualified.
