CDET – Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician
The Consumer Products Safety Commission’s latest statistics show that more home
fires are caused by dryer vent fires than by chimney fires! Please visit their web site at:

Dryer vent cleaning is a service we have offered for a number of years. Clothes dryers
expel quite a bit of line and debris into their venting system that causes problems in that
it does tend to cling to the interior of the vent pipe. The problems can range from a
dryer that no longer dries clothes effectively to a potential fire hazard. Lint in the dryer
vent is a VERY flammable product! This is true of either electric or gas dryers.
A certified technician will sweep the flammable lint, bird nesting and debris from your
dryer vent. The velocity of the expelled air is checked both before and after the
cleaning operation via electronic measuring devices to insure that all blockages have
been removed from the system. Sweeping your dryer vent on a regular basis assures
optimum operation and speedy drying time. In addition to being able to service and
clean the venting system of the dryer, our company is also equipped to replace any
needed materials. Many systems are improperly constructed or constructed from the
wrong materials and need to be replaced. We can upgrade your system for you.
Regular cleaning of a dryer vent can offer the following benefits:
Saves money on gas and electric bills
Prevents wear on clothing caused by excessive dryer times
Stops excess wear and tear on the dryer caused by overheating and extended use
Can help prevent an unnecessary service call from an appliance repairman when
perhaps only the dryer vent was in need of cleaning
