Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning Services
As you use your dryer for daily laundry, the vent builds up with lint, dust, and other debris that can form clogs and lessen efficiency. If you notice inefficiencies with your dryer vent, such as wet clothes after a cycle, you may have a clogged vent. Luckily, Aire Serv of the Shenandoah Valley offers dryer vent cleaning services to unclog problem areas and get your unit back to running smoothly. A clean dryer vent will not only save efficiency but also save you money and lower your risk of a dryer vent fire. Dryer vent cleaning is beneficial not just when you notice an issue; our experts recommend regular maintenance as well to prevent buildup in the first place.
During a dryer vent cleaning, our service professionals will use top-of-the-line tools and the latest training to remove lint and debris clogs. Starting from outside the home, we use a snake brush to loosen clogs inside the vent. Then, we complete the dryer vent cleaning with a specialized vacuum to completely remove the loosened debris, leaving you with a clean dryer vent. In some cases, we can run diagnostics on your vent to ensure your efficiency improves after a cleaning. Choosing an Aire Serv of the Shenandoah Valley professional means you have peace of mind your dryer vent is actually clean. On top of ensuring a clean vent, we will inform you if we notice any dryer vent repairs during the cleaning.
