Dryer Vent Cleaning – Call Griffith Today to Learn More!

The ability to wash and dry clothes is an essential part of daily living. However, repeated use of your dryer can create a potential fire hazard if there’s a filthy and clogged vent in the appliance. The U.S. Fire Administration’s National Fire Data Center reports that clothes dryers cause about 16,000 fires every year. Clogged dryer vents that accumulate a plug of lint and other debris are the primary source of these fires. When the exhaust pathway is obstructed, hot air stays trapped in the dryer vent where it can overheat and ignite the lint. Griffith Energy Services is here to stop that from happening with our professional dryer vent cleaning service. Our mission is to protect your family from potential fire hazards caused by blocked dryer vents by cleaning yours routinely and thoroughly.

Signs of a Clogged Dryer Vent System

There are many older homes in the Mid-Atlantic region that have never had their dryer vent system cleaned. Many dryers have been replaced prematurely when clothes aren’t drying properly. In most cases, the homeowner assumes there’s a problem with the equipment. Here are signs to look for if you suspect you have an obstructed or clogged dryer vent:

• Clothes don’t completely dry after a single cycle.
• Total drying time takes longer than 45 minutes.
• The dryer vent flap on the outside of the home doesn’t open during dryer operation.
• The dryer vent hasn’t been serviced in more than a year.
• Clothes have a musty odor after the drying cycle is complete.
• The top of the dryer is excessively hot to the touch during operation.
• Lint collects quickly on the lint filter.
• Dryer sheets have a pungent smell after the drying cycle is complete.

The Right Way to Clean Dryer Vents

At Griffith Energy Services, we specialize in cleaning dryer vents fast and efficiently. Our service technicians come equipped with professional tools and training to reach the deepest recesses of the venting system to clear the built-up debris. Our equipment is designed to maneuver through elbows and transitions without damaging any of the components in the dryer venting network.

After removing the vent cap, our service technician will insert a long snake brush and vacuum extension into the dryer vent system. As the brush spins and dislodges the accumulated lint attached to the vent pipe walls, a HEPA vacuum removes the debris and deposits it into a sealed container. Here are the benefits of investing in a dryer vent cleaning in the Mid-Atlantic region periodically:

• Reduce the risk of dryer fires by removing lint buildup.
• Improve energy efficiency and lower your home’s utility costs.
• Dry your clothes faster to preserve their look and save time and money.
• Prolong your dryer’s lifespan by reducing strain on its components.
• Improve indoor air quality by eliminating allergens and lint.
• Enjoy peace of mind knowing your home is safer.
