How can I know if my dryer vent needs to be cleaned?
If your laundry room becomes more damp than usual while drying clothing, it's possible that the humidity isn't being removed through the vent and that the vent is blocked with lint. Another symptom that your dryer is failing to dry your clothes is that they are taking longer than normal to dry or that they are coming out wet. This is due to a failure to securely remove moisture from the machine. If you notice a burnt odor when drying your clothes, or if they come out warmer than usual, it's nearly usually a sign that your dryer vent is blocked. When should a dryer vent be cleaned? To avoid lint accumulation, get your dryer vent examined and cleaned every two years by Richmond, VA Duct Cleaning. Other factors, such as compressing our tight ducting, might compound the problem, allowing lint to accumulate faster. As a result, it's critical to get your vent inspected and cleaned to ensure you don't have a problem creating faster-than-normal accumulation. Dryer vents should be cleaned and inspected once a year for a typical family of four. It's not enough to just clear out the lint trap! Lint can plug the dryer duct vent and create a fire hazard. |
