Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Columbia, MO

Keeping your dryer vents cleaned will significantly reduce your risk of a dryer fire. Dryer lint is highly combustible, and if it is caught in the back of the dryer, the released hot air can catch that lint on fire. Dryer vent cleaning also helps your dryer work more efficiently, which means that your clothes will dry faster, and your dryer will use less energy to dry your clothes. But when do you need dryer vent cleaning services, and how can you tell if it’s time to clean your dryer vents? At Aire Serv of Columbia, MO, we take the guesswork out of dryer vent service. Our team of experienced service technicians can perform dryer vent cleaning as part of your routine HVAC check-up and vent cleaning services, or you can schedule seasonal dryer vent cleaning in Columbia, MO and surrounding areas. Call us today to learn more about the importance of professional dryer vent cleaning or to make an appointment.

When and Why Do You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning?

The older your dryer is, the more often you use it, the more lint builds up. Even if you clean the lint trap every time you use your dryer, lint from your laundry can accumulate underneath the lint trap, inside the dryer door, behind the dryer drum, and in the dryer vent and ventilation tube. As time passes, this lint build-up will significantly increase laundry drying time and make your dryer less efficient and more expensive to operate. Large lint build-ups can also cause dryer fires or scorch marks on your clothing. Our service technicians recommend that you schedule a professional dryer vent cleaning seasonally while you have your HVAC system serviced. This will ensure no lint builds up in your dryer vent or its components. The biggest benefits of regular dryer vent service are:

  • Significantly reduced risk of a dryer fire
  • Your clothes will dry faster and are much less likely to smell musty or mildewy
  • You are less likely to have scorch marks on your clothing
  • Your dryer will be more energy-efficient and will cost less to operate
  • You can extend the lifespan of your dryer
  • You can lower your need for dryer maintenance and repairs
  • Increased airflow throughout the dryer
  • Improved indoor air quality
  • Lower risk of carbon monoxide poisoning

Our Comprehensive Dryer Vent Cleaning Services

We offer thorough, comprehensive dryer vent cleaning services. Safety is our primary concern, so we ensure that all lint, residue, and harmful materials are removed from all components of your dryer and its venting system. A compromised dryer vent will not operate properly, and a fire can occur within minutes if the dryer vent is obstructed by lint. We will inspect all elements of your dryer for damage or signs of problems. We will then move the dryer out of its place to access the dryer vent. We will clean all the dryer venting system components and the dryer lint trap area and put everything back together. We will then make sure it is functioning properly and safely.
