Why is Dryer Duct Cleaning Essential?
Why Should You Clean Your Dryer Duct?
Fire Safety
Lint buildup is a major cause of dryer fires. Regular cleaning reduces this risk and keeps your home safer.
Energy Efficiency
Clogged ducts force your dryer to work harder, increasing energy consumption. Cleaning helps reduce these costs and ensures your dryer operates at peak performance.
Prevent Mold & Mildew
Moisture in clogged ducts can lead to mold and mildew, which can affect your indoor air quality. Regular cleaning helps prevent these issues.
Extend Dryer Life
Routine cleaning prevents wear and tear on your dryer, reducing the likelihood of costly repairs or the need for premature replacement.
Our Professional Dryer Duct Cleaning Process
At Old World Handyman, we use a proven, multi-step approach to ensure thorough dryer vent cleaning:
1. Disconnecting the Dryer
We safely unplug the dryer and turn off any gas connections to prevent accidents.
2. Vacuuming Dryer Parts
Before starting the cleaning, we use a shop vac to remove loose lint and debris from the dryer and vent components.
3. Cleaning from the Inside Out
Using a specialized dryer duct brush powered by a drill, we clean from the inside of your home to the exterior. This brush helps loosen stubborn lint and ensures thorough cleaning.
4. Vacuuming Removed Lint
After the brushing, we use the shop vac to remove all dislodged lint from the ducts, leaving your system free of debris.
5. Cleaning from the Outside In
Next, we reverse the cleaning process, cleaning from the outside of the house back inside to ensure no remaining debris is left inside the duct.
6. Blowing Out Remaining Lint
To clear any leftover lint, we use a blower to ensure the duct system is completely clear of blockages.
7. Checking the Vent Cap
We clean the exterior vent cap to ensure proper airflow and allow the dryer to expel hot air efficiently.
8. Reconnect & Test
Once everything is cleaned, we reconnect the dryer, plug it back in, and test it to ensure optimal performance.
