Driveway Cleaning

A dryer works by pushing out hot, moist air so your clothes can dry. If your dryer vent to the outside becomes blocked by lint, the air will not be able to expel moisture like it was designed to do.

The result will be trapped moisture that takes more heat energy to evaporate. You need to know that every time you turn on your dryer, the system is activated to remove moisture through heat. However, you should be aware that most dryers generate exhaust gases that travel through a vent hose and out of your home when the vent is properly cleaned.

When this process is not carried out properly, these gases can end up inside your home, and that is a very serious problem. What happens is that clothes often have debris and dust residues that tend to enter the vent structure during the drying process, clogging the system, and causing a possible coating on the opening of your dryer. When you don’t take the necessary steps to get rid of this debris, it can completely clog the vent.

 

Evoid high utility bills with our Driveway Cleaning Services

You will notice that something may be wrong when your clothes come out hot to the touch. Many people believe this is normal, however, this is false. If your clothes or your dryer are very hot to the touch by the time the cycle ends, it means the dryer is not exhausting through the vent properly.

Sometimes, you may notice a burning smell coming from your dryer, which is not normal, as it means it is overheating. Another thing that you may also notice is unusual high utility bills. During a standard drying cycle, an average dryer will use at least $ 0.75 worth of electricity, but when the dryer vent is too clogged, it can take twice as long to achieve acceptable results. This means that a typical household will waste at least $ 100 on electricity in a year.
