  1. Dryer Vent Cleaning Chicago Dryer Vent Cleaning Chicago The Elements of a Clothing dryer Fire Fend off a dryer fire with adequate dryer vent cleaning and dryer maintenance service Lots of people are punctual about having their heating system cleaned, but, very few consumers ponder their dryer in connection with fire protection. Lots of dryer fires happen annually, causing casualties, traumas, home damage and home loss. Other than being a fire threat, unsuitable dryer venting also presents a carbon monoxide exposure. These accidents can be minimized with suitably installed and maintained dryer ducting. A clothing dryer fire transpires when lint builds up restricting airflow which then brings about overheating. The heat and the combustible lint are the fundamental ingredients for a dryer fire. Tumble dryers generate a good deal of lint and just cleaning the lint filter is not enough. The lint screen snags a lot of lint however some escapes into the inside of the clothes dryer, perilously near to the heating element. The ideal practice to ensure your dryer venting system is safe is to have it professionally examined and cleaned at least once a year. An additional concern is the dimension of the venting; the shorter, the more effective. It used be that most washers and dryers were in the basement, on an external wall, with a relatively short, straight vent to the outdoors. Presently some newer houses will have their laundry area placed far from an outside wall, with some located on the second floor. This means dryer ducts are much longer and contain some bends in which lint can amass. They're also tougher to get to thereby harder to keep cleaned. The most suitable dryer vent system is short and straight. The sections need to also be properly joined to leave the inside smooth and devoid of screws or fasteners that lint may snag on. It is crucial that the duct be constructed from inflexible material, not the flexible, foil variety of tubing that crunches quite easily, prohibiting ventilation. Permit sufficient clearance between the dryer and the wall. One error people oftentimes make is shoving the dryer too close to the wall, crushing the vent and producing an airflow concern immediately. Here is one final pointer that not too many people know of. The dryer vent screen must be washed thoroughly with warm soapy water every few months to remove residue accumulation triggered by softener sheets. It is in fact possible for the lint screen to have so much build-up on it that it will hold water! This certainly prohibits air flow and causes the dryer to take more than one cycle to thoroughly dry a load of laundry.
