Is it a Gold Mine or Your House Going Up in Flames

Both!
The above picture shows items that were found in a dryer vent. Most of the heavy stuff is right behind the dryer in the connector pipe. It makes you wonder if that lint filter is doing anything.
But there is another hazard. When we are cleaning dryer vents, many times we find those socks you've been missing or a bunch of old "Bounce sheets" and your favorite shirt. The hottest part of a dryer vent system is behind the dryer; both in the connector pipe and stuff that was dropped accidentally behind the dryer. All these items are potential fire hazards. You don't have to pull your dryer out to see most of these items. Just use your smartphone! Take a picture behind the dryer. If you can see anything that will burn behind the dryer get it out!
The CSIA certified dryer exhaust training book states that a dryer venting system should be cleaned on an annual basis. That's where we come in! We are Certified Dryer Exhaust Technicians.
I promise that if we find a gold mine behind your dryer we will return it to you the owner.
Also, did you know that most dryer connectors; you know…, the ones that look like aluminum foil, are actually flammable. Watch this video.
We replace hundreds of the standard big box connectors with semi-rigid non-flammable connector pipe. When you call us to have your dryer vent cleaned, we will make all the necessary recommendations and leave you pricing or ,if we have time, replace it on the spot.
If you're calling us for fireplace service or gas log service, you're in luck! We offer a free dryer vent inspection with any fireplace related service.
