Ductwork Before & After Photos

It happens all the time, "My dryer runs forever and my clothes never really get dry." The numbers in the picture may not make much sense. But look at the "Air velocity before cleaning - At termination with dryer on." The number is ZERO, meaning this Lewes, DE homeowner's dryer vent was clogged COMPLETELY SHUT.

Not only does that run your energy bill sky high, it creates a dangerous fire hazard.  The US Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that clogged dryer vents are responsible for more than 15,000 dryer fires each year.  
Don't be a dryer fire statistic. Call Lawson Home Services today to schedule your dryer duct clean out service. 

Lawson Home Services performs many useful services in Delaware, including the dryer vent clean out service we did at this Frankford, DE home. 

Keeping dryer vents clean is an essential thing that should be done in order to keep energy bills low, since the clothes dryer is the most expensive of all household appliances to operate. Moist lint sticks to the inside of the vent, over time restricting the airflow and increasing the amount of time it take for to dry the clothes. Lawson's technician will be in and out in a jiffy, and when he is done your dryer ducts will look brand new. 

So why not give us a call to schedule your clean out. While our technician is there he can also give you other ideas how Lawson Home Services can improve the comfort of your home and help lower your energy bills. 

Energy costs for a dryer are the most expensive of all the appliances inside your home. Did you know that a clogged dryer vent can seriously decrease the efficiency of your clothes dryer and significantly drive up energy bills? It is the flow of warm air through the dryer that dries your wet clothes., and that moist air has to go somewhere - the dryer then exhausts it into the duct work which carries it outside the home. Each time you dry a load of clothes some of the wet lint gets past the screen inside your dryer (you know, the one you're supposed to clean after each load - you do that, right?). As this lint travels through the ducts it sticks to the inside. When this lint builds up the air flow through the duct can become so restricted your dryer might run for an hour or more and still your clothes might be damp. Simple enough to understand, right?

The dryer vent of this Dewey Beach, DE home was seriously clogged, which undoubtedly was causing the dryer to run much longer than necessary. As you can see from our before and after pictures, Lawson Home Services took care of the problem. 

Now the occupants of this home won't have to wait for hours for their clothes to get dry. "Ain't nobody got time for that." :-)

Lawson Home Service's technician got a little surprise when he arrived to clean out the dryer ductwork in this Berlin, MD home.  The ductwork was completely missing and the dryer had been exhausting all the moisture and lint from the dryer directly into the crawlspace beneath this home.

We could write an entire chapter about the problems this creates for a homeowner.  Without going into a lot of details lets just throw out a few words to give you an idea:  rotting floors, mold, pests, bacteria,  poor indoor air quality, allergies, and chronic illness.  Sound bad? It is. 

Our technician installed new ductwork, including a flap and birdcage to prevent pests, vermin and birds from intruding. Now the moist air is exhausted to the outside where it should be. 

The clogged dryer vent in this Berlin, MD home was a serious fire hazard. Every year over 15,000 dryers catch fire as a result of dirty clogged dryer vents. 
Just look at the pictures and you can imagine what was lurking inside the vent tubes running from the dryer to this clogged termination flap before Lawson Home Services technician completed this dryer vent clean out. It's quick and easy, and best of all affordable.
