The back of this dryer is 80% clogged with lint after several years of build-up.  This dryer was taking 4 or more cycles to dry a small load.  By cleaning your dryer vent at least once a year, you will extend the life of your dryer appliance, lower energy bills, and avoid a dryer fire.

This vent is 99% restricted by a screen that is not permitted by code.  We see this on a daily basis and it is a significant safety issue.

While this transition hose is metal and code compliant, it has been smashed and damaged, causing it to leak lint, moisture and natural gas into the home.  Annual dryer vent cleaning includes a thorough inspection of the entire vent.  This transition hose was replaced with a new, shorter and more efficient product that will not get smashed or leak

This plastic vent had melted and separated, causing lint and moisture to exhaust all throughout the ceiling.  According to safety codes, the main duct for a dryer vent shall be made of heavy, galvanized metal.  You should never have thin foil or vinyl plastic materials for your vent, and these flexible hoses should never be concealed behind walls, floors or ceilings. 

This customer called us because her dryer vent was filled with water and leaking through the ceilings in her house.  A clean dryer vent will allow heat, lint and moisture to be exhausted all the way out.  However, over time, your dryer vent fills with lint, and if it is not cleaned regularly, that lint will absorb the moisture from wet clothes and lead to leaky duct work and corrosion. 

Sometimes builders use the wrong materials for dryer vents or they aren't installed properly.  At SafeFlow Dryer Vent Cleaning, we are certified dryer exhaust specialists who repair and replace dryer vents all day, every day.  Sometimes a dryer vent repair or replacement is necessary, so we may have to cut into the walls or ceilings to complete the repair.  We offer different options for concealing these cut-out sections including drywall repair or plumbers access panels.

Another bird nest we removed from a dryer vent.  Birds cause a significant hazard for dryer vents.

Dryer vents must be strapped and firmly secured to avoid damage, dislocation, and exhausting into the home.

Roof terminations rapidly accumulate lint.  We access the roof in order to properly clean your dryer vent system completely, from the back of the dryer, all the way to and INCLUDING the termination.

Every dryer vent service includes a thorough inspection to ensure safety and compliance with exhaust codes.  If a dislocated vent is found, it must be repaired or replaced to safeguard against lint and moisture being exhausted into the walls.

It is strongly recommended to have your dryer vent cleaned at least once per year.  Delaying this important service allows build-up that causes greater wear and tear on your dryer, higher utility bills, longer dryer times, and potential for dryer fires.

This type of dryer vent cover is quite common and often causes a wall of lint to get stuck at the louvers.  Annual dryer vent cleaning is recommended to keep your appliance running efficiently and safely.  Of course we also carry an array of dryer vent covers to replace these with a more effective version that will not break down over time.

Birds' nests are very common in dryer vents, and cause all types of problems with your venting system.  A proper bird guard or vent cover will protect your vents from unwanted pests.

This dryer vent was completely clogged due to the attached screen left on the vent.  Safety codes forbid screens of any kind to be used on a dryer vent because it will not allow lint to escape the vent as designed.

This damaged dryer vent has exhausted lint and moisture into the walls for years before they had us out to repair it.  Avoid a more costly repair by having your dryer vent cleaned and inspected annually.

U.S. fire departments respond to an estimated average of 17,000 dryer fires a year!  Don't be another statistic.  Have your dryer vent cleaned and inspected annually.
