Dryer Vent Cleaning
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.
DRYER VENT MAINTENANCE INCLUDES:
- 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 $185.00 if dryer vent is within 10' from wall,
plus parts.
$210.00 if dryer vent is not within 10' from wall plus parts.
