Dryer Duct Cleaning in Salisbury, MD
Challenge
Lawson Home Services provides dryer clean out services, which is important to make clothes dryers perform as efficiently as possibly. This is not possible unless their is a clean and robust airflow to carry the warm moist air away from the clothes and exhaust it outside the home. This cannot happen when the dryer vent accumulates fine lint over the years. If let go too long the dryer eventually will be unable to perform at all, will likely overheat, and may burn out, or worse yet cause a house fire. You don't need that.
A dryer clean out is quick and easy, typically taking less than two hours to complete the service. But in some cases, like this one in Salisbury, MD, we find a set up that has completely failed.
Just so you can see the problem yourself, we've provided a few pictures to show you what happens when dryer ducts fail completely. This one had numerous flaws:
- Excessively long runs of flex duct that begin to sag. Moisture condenses in these long runs and then fills up the low spot. Lint collects here and the whole thing gets heavier and heavier until eventually the line clogs completely shut. Now there's a serious problem.
- You can see where there are holes in the flex duct - why? Very likely whoever installed this dryer duct didn't really understand how it should be done.
- In one spot the ductwork burst completely open.
Solution
Normally an dryer clean out is quick, convenient and affordable. But in some cases the dryer duct system simply must be replaced. That was the case here.
But the good news is this: typically replacing the ductwork is not a major ordeal, nor a major expense. And rest assured you can trust that Lawson Home Services will never try to sell you a replacement if a clean out is sufficient.
Why not call us today to do your dryer duct clean out. We also do HVAC duct cleaning and sealing, which is just as important.
