Handyman - Raleigh, NC
Did you know over 1550 fires are due to dirty vents? Warning signs, dryer taking 2-3 cycles, musty smelling clothes, dryer is hot to the touch, and lint left on the cloths. Not all vent cleaning services are the same. Some companies will perform a quick "brush and run" often time they miss other issues, and you end up calling someone back out a few weeks later. It takes a couple of hours to thoroughly clean the vent. Negative air pressure, 3 different types of brushes, or abatement equipment should be used. The dryer should be disassembled and cleaned from the inside. The vent line needs to be inspected, there should be NO plastic flex duct, all the seams and joints should be sealed, and the vent system should pass an airflow test.

Can I clean a dryer vent with a leaf blower? | Sep 2021 | Can I clean my dryer vent with a leaf blower? We found this in Raleigh after someone tried to clean the dryer vent with a leaf blower. There is not much difference between the blower in a dryer and an electric leaf blower. If the dryer could not blow the lint out, then a leaf blower probably won’t do much better. Most of the time it needs to be professionally cleaned with a brush or abatement equipment. | $300 | Wake Forest, NC | |
Interior Dryer Vent Cleaning | Mar 2018 | The customs dryer failed and was replaced with a new dryer. The new dryer broke within 30 days. We found the dryer vent was completely clogged and causing the dryer to overheat. We cleaned it all out and the repair center fixed the dryer. | $245 | Raleigh, NC |
