Nashville TN Dryer Vents

For more information regarding dryer vents in Nashville TN, contact All Year Chimney Sweeps and Repair situated in Cloverwood Drive.

Apparently over 15, 000 house fires are caused annually due to the lacking of dryer vent maintenance. TN dryer vents collect flammable lint and stores it inside a flexible connecting pipe which is inside of the dryer vent. When too much lint accumulates in these areas, it causes poor dryer performance and a fire can result due to this. Interestingly, only about twenty five percent of the lint is trapped inside of the lint trap, with the rest going through the dryer vent! And because many folks don’t know this and thus regularly cleaning not happening, it could become a fire hazard. It is advisable to contact a professional chimney sweep when wanting to clean the dryer vents. They will disconnect the connecting pipe, clean out the dryer as well as all the connections using a special dryer vent brush and highly powered vacuum cleaner. They should also do a thorough overall inspection and advise the homeowner accordingly. Most home dryer vents should be cleaned at least once a year, with commercial dryer vents at least once a month. It is also extremely important to keep the vent well ventilated and not to block it with any obstacles. It is advised to contact a professional chimney sweep when your clothes takes much longer to dry than usual.
