Why is it Important to Have Your Dryer Cleaned?

Dryers Are a Major Fire Risk in Your Home

A recent National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) fire statistical report found the following:

  1. In 2010-2014, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated average of 15,970 home structure fires involving clothes dryers or washing machines each year.
  2. These fires caused annual averages of 13 civilian deaths, 444 civilian injuries, and $238 million in direct property damage.
  3. The vast majority of fires (92%) involved clothes dryers.
This business was actually started when there were multiple fires in one week in Urbana, MD back in 2017. Check out the About Us page to read that story. We still see dryer fires quite often.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Alone, Doesn't Prevent Dryer Fires

  • All the dryer fires we have seen have been caused by lint building up inside the dryer on and around the heater element. 
  • A basic dryer vent cleaning service does not actually eliminate the hazard of a dryer fire, it will only minimize the extent of the fire. 

We can clean your dryer and your dryer vent on the same visit. All of our technicians are trained and proficient at disassembling and cleaning dryers.

How Does Lint Build Up Inside the Dryer?

Lint builds up inside the dryer in two ways:

  1. Internal leakage – The seals around the lint trap and fan connections aren’t built to be perfectly airtight. Typically this leakage is minimal, however certain dryer models are known to be have leakage issues.
  2. Lint from behind the dryer gets sucked into the dryer – The dryer has intake vents on the back of the dryer. If there is lint leaking from the dryer exhaust, it will get sucked into the dryer intake vents. Over time it builds up inside the dryer, where it can eventually get ignited. Lint leakage behind the dryer occurs when the transition duct is damaged or improperly attached.

When Should You Have the Dryer Cleaned Internally?

We recommend having the dryer cleaned internally:

  •  Every 5 years: This will ensure that any normal internal lint leakage doesn’t accumulate to the point of becoming a fire hazard.
  • If you notice a lot of lint leakage behind the dryer, especially if the intake vents are covered in lint.

Benefits of Dryer Cleaning

Reduced Risk of Dryer Fires

This is an obvious benefit. If you remove the fuel (lint) from the ignition source (heater), your risk of a lint fire goes way down.

Improved Efficiency & Prevent Overheating

When we do our dryer cleaning service, we also clean the fan, lint trap and lint screen. The air has to flow through all these areas. If the fan is clogged, the dryer won’t blow well. If the lint screen is dirty or the lint trap is clogged, the air won’t flow through there well either. All these areas need to be clean to allow your dryer to run optimally. This will reduce drying times, save money on gas or electric and also prevent your dryer from overheating and potentially blowing thermal fuses or burning out a heater element.

What Our Dryer Cleaning Service Includes

  • Disassembly of the dryer
  • Vacuum and wipe down of the general area inside the cabinet
  • Blowing out the motor windings with air
  • Blowing out the heater element and heater duct to the drum
  • Cleanout of the lint trap housing 
  • Cleanout of the fan blades
  • Cleanout of the intake vents
  • Washing of the lint screen
  • Repair of any leaking connections
