You might think your dryer’s lint trap is enough to protect your home from lint buildup in a dryer. However, did you know that lint also builds up in the entire system of a dryer vent? This build-up can lead to serious problems, including house fires! Ensure you and your family’s safety by calling us at 937-507-2927 for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Piqua with Complete Detail!
Professional dryer vent cleaners often take the same approach when it comes to cleaning a residential dryer vent. The technician will use specialized tools to clean out both ends of the dryer vent, including the exit that may be located on your roof. Finally, any debris and lint inside your dryer will also be cleared away.
Some homeowners may have a do-it-yourself approach to dryer vent cleaning and will purchase a kit. However, there are several issues with this approach and often times it leaves you with a false sense of security that your good work has eliminated the risk for a fire. Experts tell us that more often than not, these devices fail to remove all of the lint in the lint duct. In the end, it can actually cause a bigger problem. For example, the homeowner may unintentionally compact the lint, and create a blockage.

Another factor in having a professional clean your dryer vents is that it actually saves you money in the end. Running your dryer with a dirty lint screen can use up to 30 percent more energy. If your dryer vent is clogged or blocked, it will have to run longer to fully dry your laundry, which uses more energy and could cause your electric bills to increase.
In addition to using more energy, if your dryer is taking twice as long to dry clothes, it’s being used twice as much, essentially cutting its life span in half. It will cost you much less, in the long run, to hire a professional to inspect and clean your vents once a year and avoid these issues altogether.

When lint builds up in your dryer vent, the duct hood flap doesn’t open and close properly. If this flap isn’t closing correctly, it could be an invitation for birds and small rodents to make your vent their new home. In addition to keeping your vents clean, investing in a ventilation cap or dryer vent guard will help prevent these animals from nesting.
In addition to offering professional and courteous service, Complete Detail understands the importance of doing the job right the first time. Therefore, you can rely on us to provide you with the best services available and unmatched peace of mind.
After having your dryer vents professionally cleaned try to keep the buildup to a minimum between yearly cleanings. Here are a few tips on how to do that:
Once you understand how important a dryer vent cleaning can be to your home and family, you may be concerned if it is clogged. Below are some of the main warning signs to keep an eye out for. Why not do a thorough inspection of your dryer and make sure your family is safe? Ask yourself the following questions:
If you start to notice clothes not being able to dry on your regular drying cycle, this is one of the first signs of a clogged vent. Since air is being trapped by your clogged vent, clothes will not be able to dry. A clogged vent will only keep clothes hot and moist. If you frequently remove clothes like this, it’s time to call about getting a dryer vent cleaning!
If you have a load going and notice a burnt smell, be aware! This smell coming from your dryer happens when it is clogged. When a dryer vent is clogged, your dryer needs to work harder to dry clothing. In turn, this could lead to notice a burning smell.
Another tell your vent is clogged, is your dryer feeling extremely hot on the outside while it is running. Remember, when a vent is clogged, your dryer will have to work extra hard to dry clothing. Additionally, a dryer is designed to exhaust heat and moisture while it is drying. Both issues, working extra hard and trapped moisture and heat, can cause a dryer to feel hot to the touch. These signs point to the fact you need to get your dryer vent cleaned.
Most recommend cleaning your filter tray before a new cycle starts. However, when cleaning the tray pay attention to how much lint you are gathering. When you notice an excessive amount building up each time, it is a possibility your vent has become clogged. Some have even noticed a large amount of lint collecting on the outside of the lint filter and around the dryer or laundry room.
If you notice any of these warning signs, it is time to call Complete Detail and get a dryer vent cleaning scheduled. Your safety is important to us!

This is a simple, yet big preventative measure anyone can take. The adhesive on the duct tape dries out over time, especially due to temperature changes, creating gaps in the joints of the vent. This will make your venting materials weak.
Watch for warning signs that indicate you have a clogged or obstructed dryer vent and a potential fire risk in your home. Be sure to give your dryer a regular inspection. This will ensure it is in good working condition. If you notice warning signs, give Complete Detail a call today to have your dryer vent cleaning done!
