FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The dryer vent being blocked is one of the main reasons for failures in the dryer. It could be a heating element, or the high-limit fuse going out. It will cause the dryer to overheat and force lint into the dryer cavity and could cause a fire.
The clothes will not dry with one cycle, like it did when it was new.
Dryer vent cleaning is typically around 30-45 minutes. If there is an additional dryer cavity cleaning, it may take 30-60 more minutes. Air duct cleaning can take 2-4 hours on average. Other services vary.
Signs of a clogged dryer vent include longer drying times, excess heat, and lint around the dryer. Regular vent cleaning can prevent these issues.
You can call or text us, or book online.
If your dryer runs but doesn’t dry, the vent may be blocked, or the heating element may be malfunctioning. A professional cleaning or inspection can diagnose and resolve the problem.
While some dryer maintenance tasks are manageable, cavity cleaning requires specialized tools and expertise to safely access and clean internal parts. Professional technicians ensure thorough lint removal without damaging components. Attempting DIY cleaning without proper knowledge can lead to incomplete cleaning or, worse, accidental damage.
Regular tune-ups significantly reduce fire risks by ensuring proper airflow and identifying any worn parts that could potentially overheat or cause sparks. Dryer fires are often caused by neglected maintenance.
Common signs include unusual noises, longer drying times, hot laundry rooms, musty or burning odors, mid-cycle stops, and visible wear on the power cord. Any of these can mean your dryer needs professional servicing.
Yes. Even new dryers benefit from routine tune-ups, as regular maintenance helps prevent small issues from becoming larger problems, ensuring the appliance operates safely and efficiently from the start.
We recommend a few days at a minimum. You can easily book online and choose a date and time that is open that works for you.
Absolutely. Regular tune-ups catch wear-and-tear issues early, reducing strain on components. This maintenance helps prolong the life of your dryer and minimizes costly repairs.
Signs include longer drying times, excess heat in the laundry room, unusual noises, and burning or musty smells during operation. These symptoms often point to significant lint buildup within the dryer, which can hinder performance and increase the risk of fires. Regular cavity cleaning helps prevent these issues from escalating into safety hazards.
No, even newer dryers can benefit from cavity cleaning, especially if they are used frequently. Lint accumulation is a natural byproduct of drying clothes and can start posing risks relatively quickly. Routine cavity cleaning, regardless of the dryer’s age, helps maintain safety and efficiency.
It’s always helpful to clear the path to the appliances or vents that we will need to service. Otherwise, we can adapt to most situations.
FEMA.gov recommends cleaning your dryer vent once annually, but it can depend on many variables. The number of people in the house causes the use of the dryer to go up. The length of the dryer vent pipe can factor into the amount of air being pushed from the dryer and will lose velocity and cause more lint to settle in the dryer vent. Anything over 30 feet can stress the dryer motor. A good rule of thumb is to not wait longer than 2 years for any size house or family.
For most households, it’s recommended to schedule a dryer cavity cleaning annually, or every 18 months for those with moderate dryer use. If your household uses the dryer frequently—such as families with children or shared living situations—consider cavity cleaning every six months to a year to prevent excessive buildup.
What should I do? Poor drying despite heat often points to restricted airflow. Vent cleaning can restore airflow and improve drying results.
Without tune-ups, dryers accumulate wear and lint buildup, which can lead to increased energy consumption, breakdowns, and even fire hazards. Neglecting maintenance often results in unexpected repairs and reduced dryer lifespan.
Yes, excessive lint buildup in the dryer cavity can lead to overheating, which can damage fabrics, fade colors, and shorten the life of your clothes. A clean dryer cavity helps maintain even heat distribution, preserving the quality of your clothing over time.
