How professionals handle dryer vent cleaning in London

One of the most dangerous fire hazards in your home may be caused by an appliance you may never suspect: the clothes dryer. Fire is a distinct possibility when lint gets clogged up in the exhaust vent; thus, cleaning the lint trapped within the dryers is a good habit. But mere cleaning the vent from the inside cannot prevent the fire hazard. Therefore, it is advisable to contact a professional for effective dryer vent cleaning in London.

 

Trained technicians provide professional dryer vent cleaning, allowing you to relax knowing that this is one component of your home that you won't have to worry about. Dryer vent cleaning should be performed by a professional who has the necessary tools and trained eyes to identify problems and keep your vent clear. So, avoid trying DIY cleaning tactics to clean dryer vents.

 

Signs that you need to clean dryer vent 

• Clothes are piled in the centre of a dryer.
• Temperature higher than usual.
• Cannot remember when was the last time you hired a professional to clean ducts.

There are a few tell-tale signs that it's time to clean your dryer. Some red flags are:

• A longer than usual drying time.
• Lint on your clothes, around the doorway, and behind your dryer.
• A dryer overheats and frequently shuts down.
• A mouldy odour in your clothes and dryer.
• At the end of a normal drying cycle, the clothes or dryer are hotter than usual.
• Lint deficiency or lint on the incorrect side of the filter.
• The laundry room has a burning odour.
• After a drying cycle, pet hair on clothing (if you have a pet).

If you notice any of these symptoms, clean your dryer vent or hire professional dryer vent cleaners immediately.

 

How often should one clean dry vents?

Ideally, once a year. However, if you notice any warning signs (mentioned above), you may need to clean the unit more frequently (or do a deeper clean).

 

Three reasons why professional dryer vent cleaning in London is beneficial

 

Extensive experience

A professional dryer vent cleaning service has cleaned hundreds, if not thousands, of dryer vents. It's a basic service that they know inside and out, so they can complete it quickly and efficiently. When a clogged dryer vent has the potential to catch fire, you need assurances that it is truly clean.

 

The appropriate tools

A dryer vent cannot be cleaned with the basic tools that are likely to be found in a home or office. When dealing with larger residential complexes, special elongated cleaning brooms and possibly high-powered blowers are required. These tools could be purchased, but why spend money on something you will only use once or twice a year and have to store the rest of the time?

 

Dryer vent cleaning experts in London have the necessary tools to complete the job correctly the first time. So, without any second thought, contact an expert for an effective dryer vent cleaning service.

                               

Easy access to hard-to-reach areas

Gaining access to your dryer’s intake vent is easy as it is directly connected to the dryer. However, that is only one aspect of the system. A thorough dryer vent cleaning includes cleaning all ductwork as well as the outside vent, which can become clogged. However, that vent toward the outside is very likely difficult to access, or even up on the roof, where it would be dangerous to reach.

Again, this is something that should be handled by professional duct cleaning London practitioners for better, safer results.

The process used by professionals to clean vents

• Starting at the outside of your home, experts use a special tool to access the line to your dryer.
• The snake-like tool suctions the lint from your dryer.
• They pull the line through several times until it is completely clean. These specialised tools, dubbed Severus, are ideal for gaining access to every aspect of your dryer vent line.
• After cleaning your dryer from the outside, they will turn their attention to the back of your dryer.
• They will plug out your dryer and thoroughly clean your lint trap with an air tool.
• They will clear your lint trap and blow all fragments in the back of the dryer close to the heating element using specially-designed tools.
• They will clean your dryer vent using an extension tool from the back of your dryer to the termination point on the outside of your house.
• They will reconnect your dryer, reinstall it, and clean everything.
• They will inspect your dryer to ensure that it is operating efficiently and safely.
