Fond du Lac Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Challenges Homeowners to Take a Closer Look

The Wizard finds a problem with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems inspected, even those that have never caused a problem before

 

Fond du Lac WI – Many homeowners ask if professional dryer vent cleaning really necessary? They claim they have never had a problem with their clothes dryer and they have never had dryer vent cleaning service performed. In fact, they never given dryer maintenance a second thought. So why should they pay for a dryer vent inspection and service?

Robb Vandenberg, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, challenges homeowners to take a closer look at their dryer. Robb specializes in commercial and residential dryer vent cleaning and new dryer vent installation and he repairs a problem with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems he inspects.

Over time, all dryer vents will accumulate lint which is highly flammable. All it takes is a spark from inside the dryer to ignite it and cause a rapidly spreading fire. A dryer fire can cause significant damage before it is noticed as it starts in the vent, inside a wall or sometimes, leading to the roof. Consumers can enjoy peace of mind knowing their dryer is safe from hazards by ordering an inspection and service by Dryer Vent Wizard.

Dryer lint is moist when it is first removed from laundry, so contrary to popular belief it does not make its way to the vent outdoors. It gets stuck to the sides of the dryer vent tube where it dries to a hard paste and attracts more lint with each load of laundry. As the lint accumulates, airflow is restricted and the dryer must work harder and longer to dry each load. This increases energy bills and can lead to malfunction, breakdown or a dryer fire.

Robb Vandenberg urges everyone even the DIY enthusiast to at least have a professional dryer vent inspection to be sure the system is installed properly and promotes maximum airflow. Though failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires, improper dryer vent installation, or use of inferior material can also be hazardous.

Robb Vandenberg stands behind his work and guarantees 100% customer satisfaction. The fee paid for dryer vent cleaning is often recovered by the substantial energy savings when clothes dry faster. A well maintained dryer vent system will extend the life of the dryer and promote maximum dryer performance. Visit http://fonddulac.dryerventcleaningnow.com/ to learn more.

Fond du Lac Dryer Vent Installation Wizard Urges Residents to have Professional Dryer Vent Inspection

The Wizard explains why properly vented clothes dryers are vital to home safety and energy savings

Fond du Lac WI – A local dryer vent service technician is reaching out to area residents to urge them to have a dryer vent inspection and maintenance service. Dryer vent installation is an easy concept, but there are several critical errors well-meaning handymen and DIY enthusiasts make. 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems installed by homeowners do not meet current safety standards.

Some dryer ducts are short and easy to clean while others are longer, with one more bends. Some homeowners will clean the parts that are easy to access, but sadly, most do not give dryer vent cleaning a second thought. The difficult to access areas are the greatest concern because lint has no problem traveling through the dryer duct and accumulating to the point of restricting airflow.

Robb Vandenberg owns Dryer Vent Wizard, serving the Green Bay and Fox Valley area. He specializes in all dryer vent service, dryer vent inspection, cleaning, repair and new dryer vent installation in homes and businesses. He is concerned about the DIY homeowner who is unaware of the changes in dryer vent safety standards.

Plastic, vinyl or flexible foil dryer ducts should be replaced with solid metal dryer venting for safety and efficiency. All dryers should be vented outdoors and the system must be properly installed. Even the very best dryer vent system installed by Dryer Vent Wizard (http://greenbay.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) will require maintenance. Here are some signs that dryer vent cleaning service is needed:

• Increased drying time
• Clothes are hot after a dryer cycle
• The outside of the dryer is hot while in use
• The laundry room is unusually hot and humid while the dryer is running
• Windows fog up when operating the dryer
• Little or no lint on the dryer filter
• Lint accumulated behind the dryer
• Little or no visible exhaust coming from the vent outside

A clogged dryer duct can lead to several problems including increased humidity in the home and indoor air contaminants like mold. A leak in the system can cause dryer exhaust to leak into the home. The moist lint trapped in the dryer duct is a perfect breeding ground for mold.

Gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide threat when not properly vented. All dryers produce lint which is flammable and failure to remove lint build up will eventually lead to a dryer fire.

There are many benefits to having regularly scheduled dryer vent service including energy savings and dryer fire prevention. Robb Vandenberg stands behind his work and guarantees 100% customer satisfaction. His customers enjoy peace of mind that their clothes dryer is operating safely and efficiently.
