Dryer Vent Cleaning, Repair, and Replacement

Quality Service 360 is skilled at providing expert dryer vent cleaning, repair, and replacement. If laundry is taking longer to dry, and there is a musty smell that emanates from the dryer, the problem may be with the dryer vent.  Safe and effective dryer vent cleaning, repair, and replacement is essential to resident’s safety. Dryer vents should be cleaned yearly. This is in part due to the potential dangers that dirty and debris clogged dryer vents can cause. According to the National Fire Protection Association, residential washer and dryers are responsible for over 15,000 fires each year!  When dryer vents become clogged with lint and other debris it will restrict airflow from the back of the dryer. This prevents heat and moisture from discharging properly causing more and more heat to become trapped; potentially leading to a spark that ignites the lint and debris. Those sparks can lead to devastating home and business fires which are easily prevented by regular dryer vent cleanings.  In addition to eliminating a fire, dirty dryer vents can cost you time and money. Efficient dryer vents are free from obstruction and trapped debris forces a dryer to work harder than it is designed to work. This means that more energy is being consumed causing longer dry times and higher utility bills.

Our state of the art technology allows us to handle dryer vent issues no matter the set-up of a property. We provide dryer vent cleanings, repairs, and replacements to residential and commercial buildings. If you have a dryer vent issue that needs fixing we’re the ones to call.  Many people ask if they can regularly clean their own dryer vents.  While personal dryer vent cleaning kits are available for sale it’s always best to get an expert’s opinion on the issue. For instance, if the vent tubing on a dryer vent is long, clogs and debris may not be able to be reached with at home equipment. This could potentially lead to damage to the air ducts or personal cleaning equipment becoming trapped in dryer vents. If ordinary vacuums are used some debris will be eliminated, but the outer portion of the tubing may still contain packed on dust, lint, and debris that at home vacuums are not powerful enough to suction out. These are a few reasons why it’s best to leave dryer vent cleaning to the professionals. If you do attempt, please disconnect the dryer in the laundry room for safety. Some warning signs that dryer vents are in need of a thorough cleaning are: clothing takes longer to dry or is not dry after a normal drying cycle, excessive heat comes out in and around your dryer, lint or debris has accumulated around the dryer hose or vent, the dryer lint trap is full after only a few loads, or a burning smell originates from the dryer area. These are major red flags that require an expert who can identify and remedy the dryer vent issue quickly and efficiently.

Dryer Vent Repair

Dryer vents are a dryer’s ventilation system which connects your dryer to the outside of your home or business. After a dryer completes dryer a load of laundry, the leftover hot air travels through the vents and is ejected outside. Only about 70% of your dryer lint is actually caught by the lint filter. So when a broken part clogs your vent, the other 30% can create quite a problem! If there is visible lint around the back of a dryer, or is the dryer shuts off before the end of a cycle then the dryer vent may need repair.  Having a dryer vent repaired can save on monthly utility costs. Every time a dryer cycle is run, while having a broken or damaged dryer vent, more and more pressure is put onto other parts of the machine. The more the dryer is used, the greater the chance is may be compromised beyond repair. Dryers are costly appliances, and money can be saved by simply up keeping the dryer vents that help them run most efficiently.  Beyond money saving benefits there are multiple health benefits to dryer vent cleaning. The biggest concern for immediate safety is that regular dryer vent cleaning reduces risks of fire. Thousands of fires every year are attributed to clogged dryer vents. This tragic event should not take place and we are committed to eliminating dryer vent hazards.  Another health concern is that when dryers lose efficiency they cause clothes to retain moisture. Moisture produces mold and this mold can infiltrate into a home or business causing allergies and other health conditions.  Fixing dryer vents can also reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas poisoning. If a dryer is leaking than that gas escapes into homes and businesses. Other toxic fumes are reduced as well by eliminating risk of carcinogenic gases from being created. Fabric softener sheets contain benzyl acetate which when heated up can emit carcinogenic gases. If seals around your dryer vent are leaky this can create a hazardous situation for those around you. 

Dryer Vent Replacement and New Installation

Quality Service 360 provides residential and commercial dryer vent replacement services in Greater Houston. If newly purchased dryer has unusually long dry times, and clothes remain damp even after the cycle has completed then the dryer vent is likely the cause. Older dryer vents, or those clogged with lint and debris, weaken the dryer’s efficiency. Eventually, your dryer vent tears or breaks – and needs to be replaced! Extra gas and electric costs may occur when dryer vents are damaged. Replacing a faulty or leaky dryer vent can save on average $18-24 dollars per month or more. That’s over $250 of savings per year! Plus, the costs accumulated on the damage to linens, towels, and clothing can add up. Heat is notoriously bad for clothes; it tears them apart. Lint build-up or leaks in your tubing make it harder for a dryer to effectively and safely dry clothing. When dryer vents stop working at their full potential it will cause wear and tear to materials in clothing. Replacing broken dryer vents saves money on having to replace valuable clothing. We are commonly asked about plastic dryer vent replacement. Plastic hoses were formerly acceptable for gas and electric dryers, but now they are officially banned – as they are responsible for many house fires. Electric dryer vents that do not meet UL 2158 standards, or gas dryers that do not meet ANSI Z21.5.1 (CGA 7.1) standards, are dangerous. Make sure to have a plastic dryer hose replaced with an acceptable, semi-rigid metal hose. The product parts used for replacement depend on your ventilation system. Typically, we recommend expendable or flexible layered aluminum ducting for residences. Rigid metal piping may work in some cases, depending on how long a dryer vent needs to extend or where it sits within the building. That is why we conduct a full inspection before deciding on the services needed. In some cases, only a repair is needed, but often the best route is a new dryer vent installation. Quality Services 360 technicians will be able to diagnosis whether repair or replacement is the most appropriate route. We are interested in keeping our customers safe while saving them time and money. Having one of our experienced technicians diagnosis the underlying cause of the issue is the best route. Have one of our expert staff inspect your dryer vent and your peace of mind will be restored. Our lines are available and open at (281)-391-1220.
