According to the U.S. Fire Administration, there are nearly 3,000 clothes dryer fires reported each year, with an estimated 5 deaths and 100 injuries reported annually.
Fires and other accidents caused by clogged dryer vents are easy to avoid with some attention and proper maintenance, and Stanfield Air Systems is here to help!
Ever notice that your clothes are taking longer to dry? Or that your laundry room seems warmer than usual when the dryer is running? What about a burning smell on your clothes when they come out of the dryer? These are signs that your dryer vent needs attention — and it’s not something you want to ignore.
Stanfield Air Systems offers affordable, professional dryer vent service. We’ll inspect your dryer vent, clean the vent and the pipe leading outside, and ensure your dryer is running efficiently with no lint-related fire hazards.
If your dryer vent shows signs of wear, we can also replace the vent and pipe as needed. If your home is over 20 years old, it may be time to have your dryer vent inspected to determine whether replacement is necessary.
Don’t wait for a dryer fire! Dryer vent cleaning starts at $187 and may vary based on dryer placement, vent location, and other factors.
The lint trap only catches part of the lint created during drying. If clothes take longer to dry, the laundry room feels unusually hot, the dryer smells like burning, or the outside vent flap barely moves, buildup may be deeper in the vent line. That kind of restriction should be inspected and cleaned before it creates added strain on the dryer or a safety concern.
Yes. When a dryer vent is blocked, the dryer has to run longer to remove moisture from each load. Those extra cycles use more energy and can increase monthly utility costs. Cleaning the vent helps the dryer move hot, moist air outside more efficiently, which can reduce wasted energy and shorten drying times.
Older homes may have dryer vents that are long, damaged, disconnected, crushed, or made from outdated materials. Over time, lint buildup, loose joints, and wear can make the vent less effective and more difficult to clean properly. An inspection can show whether the vent only needs cleaning or whether replacement would be safer and more efficient.
Clean the lint trap before every load, avoid overloading the dryer, check that the outside vent is not blocked by debris, and pay attention to longer drying times or unusual heat. You should also avoid pushing the dryer too close to the wall if it crushes the vent connection. These steps can help, but they do not replace professional cleaning of the full vent line.
