One
of the often overlooked maintenance project in the house
is regular cleaning and inspection of the dryer vent. Visit Underwriter Laboratories for more informaiton.
The
signs that it is time to clean the vent are one or more of
the following:
- When
it takes two complete cycles for the clothes to be dried
- Excess
humidity in the proximity of the dryer, such as moist walls,
damp smell
- A
burnt smell in the area of the dryer. Smelling like
burnt hair or burnt rubber.
- Condensation
on the windows especially when the dryer has recently run.
Honey
Do will:
- We
will pull the dryer away from the wall and remove the dryer
vent and clean out excess lint and debris.
- If
you have a plastic vent hose attached to the back of the
dryer – this is a fire hazard and we will replace it
with a metal connection.
- We
inspect and clean the dryer vent and ensure that the dryer
vents completely to the outside.
- We
will inspect and replace, if necessary, the cover on the
termination of the vent to insure that animals cannot gain
access to the house through this device.
The
cost of this project is $150.00 if
dryer vent is within 10' from wall, plus parts.
$175.00 if
dryer vent is not within 10' from wall plus parts.
