Thousands of residential fires are caused each year by dryers, and the leading cause of dryer fires is failure to maintain and keep them clean. When you let your dryer vent become gunked-up and clogged, you are risking your life along with the lives of your family and pets. Not to mention that damage from these fires causes millions of dollars to be lost each year by innocent families. Shoreline Dryer Vent Services takes pride in offering services to families like yours that can help saves lives. Safety is just a call away. Dryer vents need to be cleaned because lint and other material from your clothes can collect inside the duct, which prevents the dryer from exhausting heat and air. You may wonder how lint can build up in your dryer vent even with a lint trap that's emptied every load. The lint trap collects lots of larger debris, but smaller dust particles and debris can go through the lint trap and into your dryer vent. In addition to fires, a clogged dryer vent can seriously damage the appliance, causing it to shut down during use, damage your clothes, and create excessive heat to the touch. Some other common symptoms of a backed-up dryer vent are musty smelling or excessively hot clothes, longer dry times being required, or a build-up of lint on the exterior of the vent. A convenient indicator of the performance of your dryer vent can also be seen by looking at the exterior vent flap; if it's not wide open when the dryer is running, this means that the air velocity coming out of the vent is low. The low air velocity is thus an indicator of a clogged dryer vent. When you clean your dryer vent, you’re also cleaning your house, as you could be eliminating mold, mildew, and even carbon monoxide from your living environment. Another common problem that always needs to be fixed is if your dryer vent ends inside your home. The vent essentially expels water vapor and lint from the appliance - and when this moisture gathers in an indoor space, mold can become a huge problem. If your vent terminates inside, call us immediately. We've got the tools needed, like extended brushes, ladders, and much more. We also have over thirty years of experience cleaning dryer vents in homes just like yours. Clean Your Dryer Vent Before Disaster Strikes!

A clean dryer vent provides many benefits. First, it will lower your utility bill. When the appliance can’t push as much air out of the vent, it ends up requiring more energy to get your clothes dry, thus raising your energy bill. Clothes will both dry faster and come out smelling fresh as well. Even more money is returned to your pocket in the long run when you decide to have your dryer vent cleaned, because doing so extends the life of your dryer and even your clothes. The benefits of having your dryer duct cleaned and inspected are well worth it, so please give us a call. You won't regret it! Although your clothes dryer may seem like a simple appliance, it actually requires a good amount of diligence and responsibility in order to keep it running smoothly and safely.

Dryer Vent Cleaning – its best to have your dryer vent cleaned by a professional. DIY jobs often result in less clean vents, which only make your life harder in the future. Also, inexperience can often result in damage to the dryer vent, once again making your future headache even worse. Lint, heat, and even mold can all build up if your dryer vent isn't cleaned at least once a year. A professional has the knowledge and the proper tools to ensure your dryer's efficiency and your safety. For example, a duct with more twists and turns has much more opportunity for lint build-up, because the lint gets caught within the little pockets in the turns. Professionals like us know all the tricks of the trade when it comes to getting that lint out! And once the vent is clean, it's very important that the owner responsibly takes steps to keep the vent clear - this means emptying the lint trap after every cycle (even after "touch-ups" and making sure the drum is also clear after every cycle. If the lint trap is damaged and broken it is important to acquire a new one so that it can properly do its job. Another tip that will extend the life of your dryer is to limit the amount of dryer sheets you use. These can increase the amount of lint and gunk that ends up in the vent.

Other Common Dryer Issues
While a dryer vent-related issue is a common cause of malfunctioning dryers, there are many other parts within the appliance that may fail.
We mentioned before that a good indicator of a clogged dryer vent is when your clothes are extremely hot to the touch after a cycle. It’s normal for them to be warm (that’s how a dryer evaporates the moisture from the clothes), but if they are very hot and it’s almost painful to touch them, then there’s an issue with the dryer. If this is happening and your dryer vent is clear, then there is most likely an issue with the appliance. This is often the thermostat. Many newer dryers have fail-safe components that will stop the dryer from overheating if the thermostat malfunctions, but this is still a potential fire waiting to happen and should be taken care of immediately. Many dryers will blow fuses if this happens.
The thermostat and thermal fuses may also cause the opposite to happen: the dryer does not heat up at all. If this happens and you’ve checked to make sure the dryer vent is clean, then you might want to give a call to your local appliance repair company so they can install a new part. Another common cause for the dryer not heating up is the heating element. Electric dryers use heating coils. Gas or propane dryers use a pilot light which ignites the gas, and the heat is transferred to the drum using metal plates.
A faulty thermostat or thermal fuse may also cause the dryer to shut off early.
The heating elements, whether they are coils or gas, may also be the reason why your dryer does not heat up all the way. If these were to fail, you should call a professional to fix it. Treating electrical issues without the proper knowledge can put you at risk of injury.
Before you assume that your appliance has an issue, make sure your dryer vent is functioning as it should. Many problems listed above are thought to be more than they are, and it turns out to be a clogged dryer vent. If your dryer takes too long, generates too much heat, or does not get hot enough, the dryer vent is probably the cause. You can call us to take a look at the vent and get it functioning properly.
