AIR DUCT & DRYER DUCT CLEANING

The Professional Choice in Air     Duct & Dryer Duct Cleaning”

Dirty duct systems are a major source of indoor air pollution. Airborne contaminants are pulled into the ducts every time the heating and cooling system runs.  Over time, these contaminants build up inside the ductwork, creating an ideal breeding ground for MOLD, BACTERIA, FUNGI, and other MICROBES.

 EPA claims indoor air has been found to be up to 70% more polluted than outdoor air.

  • Children are more likely than adults to be affected by polluted indoor air.
  • The average 6 room house, collects 40 pounds of dust a year.
  • Air ducts have more germs than a chicken coop.
  • A build up of 0.42 inches of dirt on a heating or cooling coil can result in a decrease in efficiency of about 21%.
  • 9 out of 10 heating, ventilating, air conditioning systems failures are caused by dust and dirt build up.

Air duct cleaning is a proactive solution to these problems.  It can enhance indoor air quality, improve overall air circulation, eliminate built-up dirt and contaminants, and extend the life of heating and cooling systems.

“Dryer Vent Cleaning”

 

Dryer vent fires cause 24,000 fires and about $96 million in property damages each year in the

United States.  Lack of maintenance is the leading cause of dryer fires, with lint sited as the leading material to ignite.

 

THE FIRES MAY BE CAUSED BY:

 

  • Failure of mechanical and or electrical parts within the dryer
  • Improper materials placed in the dryer
  • Insufficient airflow, as a result of improper installation

 

A serious problem to look for is when your dryer is still producing heat but is taking longer to dry a load of clothes, the exhaust duct may be clogged with lint, birds’ nests and or other debris.  It’s hard on the dryer, frustrating for you because now you are wasting away your hard earned money on gas-fueled dryer, or dryers running on just electric. 

 

Lint and flue gases use the same avenue of exit from the house.  A blocked vent can cause poisonous carbon monoxide fumes to back up into the house.  These fumes are odorless and colorless and they can be FATAL!  CO poisoning symptoms mimic those of flu (without the fever): headaches, weakness, nausea, disorientation and deep fatigue.  You can fall asleep, lapse into a coma, and DIE.

 

If you have an electric dryer, you need not worry about the carbon monoxide, but a

Plugged-up exhaust duct is still bad news!  With both types of dryers, heat that builds up and cannot escape presents a safety hazard.  Clothes dyers do not catch on fire.  Dryer fires start beneath the dryer when the motor overheats due to the buildup of lint.  The draft from the dryer will pull the fire up into the venting system and, in many cases, CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE.

 

“WHAT ARE THE WARNING SIGNS”?

 

  • Clothes, especially towels or jeans take a long time to dry.
  • If your clothing is still damp at the end of a normal drying cycle or requires longer dryer times, then you may have a fire hazard in and around your clothes dryer.
  • Clothes are hotter than usual at the end of the drying cycle.
  • The flapper on the vent hood doesn’t open when the dryer is on.

 

“HOW LONG SHOULD THE DRYER VENT BE”?

 

  The maximum length of a dryer vent should not exceed 25 feet.  But keep in mind that the small dryer motor is blowing wet lint around elbows in the vent.  These elbows tend to accumulate lint much faster.  Make sure the exhaust duct is unrestricted and free from blockage, and never exhaust a dryer into any other duct, gas vent, chimney or crawl space.  To facilitate airflow the exhaust pipe should be as short as possible and have a limited number of bends.
