Dryer Vent Cleaning

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends cleaning your dryer vents at least once a year, or more frequently if:

• You have pets that shed a lot.
• You use your dryer multiple times a week.
• You notice any of the signs mentioned earlier (longer drying times, excessive heat, etc.).

You can attempt to clean some lint buildup near the dryer vent outlet. However, a thorough cleaning requires accessing the entire length of the vent system, which might be located behind walls or crawl spaces. Our technicians at Fresh Air Duct Cleaning of Fort Myers have the specialized tools and expertise to safely and effectively clean your entire dryer vent system.

Our dryer vent cleaning service typically includes:

• Inspection: We’ll visually inspect the dryer vent outlet and assess the need for further cleaning.
• Disconnecting the dryer: To ensure safety and proper access, we’ll disconnect your dryer from the vent system.
• Vent cleaning: Powerful vacuums and specialized tools are used to remove lint buildup throughout the entire length of the vent system.
• Reassembly: We’ll carefully reassemble your dryer vent system and ensure proper connection to your dryer.

Clogged dryer vents can lead to several problems:

• Reduced dryer efficiency: This translates to higher energy bills and longer drying times.
• Increased wear and tear on your dryer: Overworked dryers are more prone to breakdowns and require repairs or replacements sooner.
• Fire hazard: Lint buildup is a leading cause of dryer fires. Regular cleaning significantly reduces this risk.

While both services involve cleaning air passage systems, they target different areas. Dryer vent cleaning focuses specifically on the dryer vent system, while duct cleaning addresses the entire ductwork network connected to your HVAC system. However, we can bundle these services together for a comprehensive cleaning solution at a discounted rate.
