All Clean Air Duct Cleaning Announces Dryer Vent Cleaning In Ogden Utah

All Clean Air Duct Cleaning has announced that they are now providing dryer vent cleaning Ogden Utah to remove lint that builds up in homes. The company provides cleaning for residential air ducts, and recently discussed the impact of clogged up dryer vents and the benefits of having those dryer vents professionally cleaned.

Daryl Olsen, a representative for the company says, “People are often unaware of how clogged their dryer vents can become. Over time, lint can build up inside the dryer vent, causing damage to the vent itself. There are numerous stories about dryers catching on fire during use and most of the time, this is due to a clogged vent.”

Olsen says that cleaning vents is a job best left for professionals. He says that while homeowners can clean the part of the vent that they can see, dryer vents have areas that are unreachable without the proper equipment, which is why the company recommends a professional for vent cleaning.

“Having dryer vents cleaned is not only safer for the home in general, but it helps to keep dryers functioning properly as well,” says Olsen. “Someone certainly does not want to spend a couple thousand dollars on a new dryer only to have it malfunction after a few months because of link build up.”

Olsen says that there are a number of ways for homeowners to determine if their dryer vents need to be professionally cleaned. One of those is simply when the dryer fails to dry as it should. Other signs could include clothing that feel unusually hot when they come out of the dryer or the dryer itself feeling unusually hot, or homeowners may notice a burning smell when they run the dryer.

“If any of these signs are evident, it is imperative that the homeowner stop using the dryer right away and contact a professional dryer vent cleaning company,” says Olsen. “Dryer vents are the main cause of home fires in the United States, which is sad because it takes only a few minutes to contact a professionally to have those vents cleaned.”

Olsen says that many homeowners who attempt to clean their own dryer vents may miss several crevices where lint can hide, and while using a wet-dry vacuum may seem like an adequate choice, he states that even these higher powered vacuums do not get all of the lint that may be built up in the vent. He states that specialized equipment should be used in order to remove all of the lint that may be evident in the vent, particularly if the vents have not been cleaned in quite some time.

Olsen says that having dryer vents professionally cleaned can help to make homes safer. Statistics show that there are more than 15,000 home fires every year in the United States that are caused by dryer vent buildup, and of these, more than 400 injuries and a number of deaths are reported every year.

Olsen adds that regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning can eliminate these risks and can help to lower energy bills because removing lint build up can help dryers to function as they should, which could save homeowners hundreds of dollars in energy bills over the course of a year. Olsen says that scheduling dryer vent cleaning at least once per year can help to significantly reduce the threat of dryer fires and help to lower energy bills.
