The process of a dryer vent cleaning isn’t something that many homeowners want to go through because of its rigorous steps involved. However, this is something you should do, whether you love doing it or not. Remember that dirty dryer vents are not only filthy, but they can be a serious fire hazard. According to research, dirty dryer vents are the leading causes of fires in Toronto homes.<\/p>\n

Besides, a dryer with ducts full of debris and dirt cannot function as fast and effective as it should be. If your dryer took only thirty minutes to clean a load, and nowadays it takes up to an hour, the culprit could be the venting system. Dust might have accumulated inside the dryer vent and leaving smaller space for heat to be expelled out. If that is the case, there is no doubt that you would need dryer vent cleaning<\/a> as soon as possible before serious problems arise.<\/p>\n To do proper vent cleaning, you should first locate where the vent starts and where it ends. In most dryer vents, there is a short 4-ich diameter exhaust at the back<\/a>. It is this exhaust that is connected to ductwork in the wall via an aluminium elbow or a different pipe. Hot hair is transferred through the metal pipe and get outside via an opening to the wall of the structure.<\/p>\n The dryer vent exhaust in most cases is connected to the duct at the foundation of the wall in the laundry room. At the point where the hot air escapes are louvred with a plastic cover. This prevents vermin from getting into the room via the vent while allowing warm air to escape.<\/p>\nLocate Your Vent<\/strong><\/h2>\n
