EXCESSIVE LINT, EXTREME HEAT. A DRYER FIRE WAITING TO HAPPEN

Dryer vents are the pipes that are connected to dryers that help remove excess water content from the washed clothes. It works by centrifugal technique; the water loaded clothes are slammed and rotated within the dryer, which collects the heavy water particles. Then, those particles disposed off through the dryer vent to outer environment. This exposure to the outer environment allows pollutants and molds to enter the ducts, that will become their host and breeding part where molds grow and start to choke the ducts.

A choked dryer duct faces problems in removing water content since the diameter is reduced and the water flow stops at points. This causes decreases in output, machine starts to heat up, causing technical faults and efficiency issues of the dryer.

Flammable materials should be kept far away from heat sources. However, in household dryers, lint can collect dangerously close to the heating element. To protect your household from a common fire hazard, call on Patriot Dryer Vent Cleaning for routine dryer vent cleaning services.
