Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning

According to the U.S Fire Administration, 15,600 structure fires, 15 deaths, and 400 injuries occur every year due to clothes dryer fires*. Of these fires, 12,700 of them occurred in residential buildings, resulting in 15 deaths and 300 injuries.* When investigated, the number one reason for these dryer fires was the failure to clean the dryer vent and dryer exhaust.

Normal use of the dryer produces lint. Over time the lint will become trapped in the dryer vent and dryer exhaust, causing the inside of your dryer vent to become clogged. A clogged dryer vent will cause reduced airflow through the vent and the dryer motor has to work harder, causing it to overheat. If enough heat is generated, it can cause the lint and surrounding combustible items to ignite. A fire has stared.

NorthStar Services, Inc. recommends that you have your dryer vent and dryer exhaust cleaned every six months to a year, depending on how large your family is and how much laundry you do. Dryer vent length and the number of 90 degree bends in the vent also contributes to the frequency of it needing cleaned. A good indication that your dryer vent needs cleaned is when normal loads of laundry are taking more than 40-60 minutes to dry.

We clean the vents from the outside in and it usually takes our Dryer Vent Cleaning Specialists 60-90 minutes to complete. Call NorthStar Services for a free estimate.
