Most of us have fallen victim to wanting to save money and cut costs in some way or another. This however should not be the thought when it comes to crucial components of your home. The dryer can come to pose a serious fire hazard if not properly maintained. Don’t put your property at risk by using scammers and budget cleaners. It may seem like a budget friendly solution, but could cost you in the long run. Do a professional dryer vent cleaning (like what we offer) to properly take care of your home. 

The Risks of Non-Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryers are one of the leading causes of house fires and property damage. Don’t overlook and neglect this appliance. It makes our everyday life easier and more convenient, but if not properly maintained, the benefits can go right out the window. If you’re choosing to hire a non-professional or go with a DIY dryer vent cleaning, here are some things you can expect:

  • Inefficiency and blocked vents: It’s as if you took your vacuum cleaner and vacuumed only a fourth of the duct. Without proper tools and experience, blockages typically remain. Yes, your dryer may start performing ever so slightly, but for the most part, the dryer is still going to work hard and consume more energy to perform its duties. 
  • Incomplete lint removal: Lint is flammable. If not removed properly and in all the needed places, you could put your home at risk of a house fire. 
  • Damage to the vent: If not removing all of the needed debris wasn’t enough, untrained professionals can also damage your vent. By using the wrong tools (or even chemicals) you can find your duct simply breaking down over time. And let’s be honest, if you’re trying to save money—duct replacement is probably not on your list.
