The lint filter can not catch all of the lint created from drying clothes.  Lint that gets by the filter accumulates inside of the exhaust vent.  As lint builds up in the vent, air flow is restricted which causes your dryer to be less efficient. 

Symptoms of a clogged dryer vent include excessive moisture in the laundry room and clothes take a long time to dry or won't dry at all.  Sometimes people prematurely replace the dryer.  Cleaning the vent will improve drying time and can save considerable money.   In many cases, annual dryer vent cleaning will pay for itself by reducing utility charges as well as extending the life of your clothes dryer. 



Dryer lint can cause a fire inside your home. The heating element, overheated
parts, and sparks from wires or motor can easily ignite lint inside your dryer.

The restricted air flow also causes a significant amount of lint to remain inside of your dryer. 
Lint inside of the dryer is a fire hazard.  The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that over 15,000 dryer related fires occur each year.

It is normally recommended that residential dryer vents be cleaned out at least once a year.
Commercial or higher use dryers may need more frequent cleaning.

 

Why should you choose The Wright Cleaning Company?   

1^st – We do the job right. 

Many companies just run an air hose from outside your dryer vent to blow out loose lint. This is better than doing nothing, but it does not give you a thorough cleaning.  We use equipment designed specifically for cleaning dryer vents.  The inside of your dryer vent will be cleaned from end to end using a method appropriate for your installation.

2^nd – We also clean lint from inside your clothes dryer.

This is an important part of helping prevent a fire from originating inside of the clothes dryer. Very few companies include this important part of the service. Typically, we find a significant amount of lint on the inside (floor, wires, heater, blower, etc.).

3^rd – Compare our prices and the quality of our service.

You will find that our prices are generally competitive with, or better than, those of other companies. Why not get the best service at the right price?

Notes
Prices for commercial dryer setups can be discussed on site.

Pricing for repair / replacement of vent pipe or transition tube can be discussed on site.

We recommend use of straight metal or rigid flexible metal dryer vent pipe. We do not recommend using un-approved plastic vent parts, nor undersized metal vent parts. Older white plastic accordion-style ducting is not safe and not up to current code.
 
We reserve the right to turn down work that is deemed to be unsafe or beyond our capability to clean properly. 

Important: Our tools are designed to be used in properly sized and properly installed vents. Dryer vent duct that is damaged, inappropriate material (example: white plastic accordian-style), or improperly installed can be further damaged or dislodged during cleaning. When accessible, vent ducts will be inspected before cleaning, but this is not always possible as they are often hidden in walls and ceilings. When damage or dislodging occurs, we will charge a reasonable fee for repair or replacement if we are able to do so. Otherwise, recommendations will be made to remedy the problem. We are not responsible for damage or dislodging beyond refunding the price we charged for cleaning.
