Dryer Vent Repair & Dryer Vent Cleaning
Do I need A Dryer Vent Repair?
There are mainly two types of repair to your dryer vent. First, dryer vent repair for a broken dryer vent that prevents the air flow from flowing out. In addition, there is a dryer vent repair in the form of an update. In some cases we find either a micky mouse job done to put a dryer vent together, or the dryer vent was put together with length over what the code allows. We offer a professional inspection and assessment to your dryer vent, while also offering solutions.
Dryer Vent Repair For A Malfunctioning Vent.
Over the years, the heat, humidity and pressure coming from your dryer into the vent could lead to different issues. You can find a joint that has dislocated in the vent due to a variety of reasons, while you can also find a bent par of the vent preventing proper ventilation. Therefore, you can have a leak of air that could lead to different problems. Also, you can have a vent restrictions that will also pose a potential fire hazard.
Dryer Vent Repair For An Over Sized Dryer Vent.
As you can see in the photo attached to this article, we made a repair for an oversized dryer vent. While the code allows a dryer vent to be no longer than 35 feet. In addition, for every 90 degree angle in the vent, you have to deduct 5 feet from the total length.
This customer had 5 angles of 90 degree and total length of vent 30 feet, which caused the customer constant clogs and interruptions with dryer the clothes. Therefore, we removed 10 feet of the vent, for a total of 20 feet. In addition, we removed 2 of the 90 degree angles in order to create a better and stronger air flow. Just by doing that the dryer was able to pick up more heat as it was able to vent in higher velocity.
Dryer Vent Cleaning A Long Dryer Vent.
in addition, to creating air flow problems in long dryer vents, cleaning them is also a major issue. When we have to clean a dryer vent that has 4 angles of 90 degrees within 15 feet, it put tremendous pressure on our snake and on the vent. Therefore, making sure that your vent is built properly is important for the longevity of the results.
