The Smithtown Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Works his Magic to Speed up Drying Time

The Wizard explains where dryer lint comes from and how it accumulates inside the dryer and dryer duct leading to increased drying time and possibly a dryer fire

 

 Smithtown, NY -- Dryer vent cleaning prevents dryer fires and extends the life of the dryer. The Smithtown Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard provides a necessary home service to prevent a number of dryer related hazards and help reduce energy consumption.

Over 17,000 dryer related fires occur annually with failure to clean dryer vents being the number one cause. John Ryley owns Dryer Vent Wizard of Suffolk County, NY. “We work hard to educate consumers about the importance of dryer vent cleaning to eliminate a fire hazard,” said Ryley.

John Ryley explains to his customers how dryer lint is formed. Dryer lint is simply small fibers that are shed from clothing as it agitates in the washer. Heat and tumbling motions cause clothing and other materials in the dryer to break down and produce lint.

When customers ask how these tiny lint fibers can cause problems, Ryley explains how air flow forces the lint into the lint screen. Some lint will escape into the dryer cabinet and cause problems with the motor, belts and pulleys. The rest gets trapped in the dryer vent system where it builds up and blocks air flow. Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.SuffolkCountyNY.DryerVentCleaningNow.com) carries special tools and equipment to access all areas of the dryer duct to ensure a complete cleaning.

John warns area residents that lint accumulation restricts airflow so heat and moisture cannot easily escape. As the moist lint sticks to the sides of the dryer duct it attracts more lint. Add an overworked, overheated clothes dryer to the mix to complete the ingredients needed to start a dryer fire!

Dryer Vent Cleaning Smithtown – Dryer Vent Installation Tips from the Wizard

Dryer vent cleaning Smithtown: Dryer vent cleaning is the number one way to prevent dryer fires, but did you know that improper dryer vent installation is also a contributor?

During routine home maintenance planning, how much thought goes to your appliances? What about the dryer? Did you know that your dryer is more likely to start a fire than any other appliance in your home? The dryer vent system must be properly installed and maintained to ensure dryer safety and efficiency.

When you look at the back of your clothes dryer, you should see your dryer duct leading to the dryer vent attached to the outside of your home. Is your dryer vented to the outdoors? By law, all gas dryers must be vented to the outside of your home. Is the dryer duct made of flexible foil, plastic or vinyl? Or is it made of rigid metal or aluminum? The answer to this question is critical to your safety.

Vinyl, plastic or flexible foil are no longer acceptable venting material for your clothes dryer. Though this type was used, years ago, it does not meet today’s safety standards. Even the thin metal foil vents which are claimed to resist fire are easily crushed, restricting air-flow which is required for your dryer to work. When the duct is crushed, heat, lint and moisture cannot escape from the clothes dryer.

Flexible metal pipes are acceptable, but they are not recommended. The ideal material for your dryer duct is a metal pipe that is smooth inside. Sections should be joined with foil tape, not screws which protrude to the inside to catch and trap lint. They should also be joined in the direction of the air flow to minimize the chances of lint becoming trapped.

Your dryer vent system is designed to remove heat, moisture and lint from your laundry as it is being dried. If you have a gas dryer, it is also removing gas by-products from your home. Improper venting can cause a dryer fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.



Professional dryer vent cleaning is recommended at least once a year to keep your appliance running efficiently and safely. The fee for this service is small compared to the cost of repairing or replacing an over worked clothes dryer, or the cost of losing your home or even your life.
