Regular maintenance has been proven to increase safety, improve efficiency and extend the life of your appliances. Part of that regular maintenance includes dryer vent cleaning, which is an essential service every couple years. Dryer vents accumulate debris and lint over time, which is an extreme fire hazard. In fact, clogged dryer vents are responsible for nearly 12,000 household fires each year!

Take the clogged dryer vent challenge! If you answer YES to one or more of these questions, your dryer vent may be clogged, increasing your risk for a household fire and decreasing efficiency in your dryer.

• Do your clothes take longer and longer to dry?
• Do your clothes get fully dry?
• Are your clothes hotter than normal at the end of the cycle?
• Is the outside of your dryer very hot?
• Is the outside exhaust vent flapper able to open fully?
• Does your laundry room become more humid than usual?
• Do you have a burnt smell in the laundry room?

Along with preventing a fire hazard in your home, dryer vent cleaning also benefits you through shorter dry time for clothes, less wear and tear on your dryer, and lower utility costs.

Call 515-276-8899 to schedule a dryer vent cleaning today, and ask about our current specials!
