Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ottawa
A leading cause of serious home fires which may cause injury or even death may can be attributed to poorly maintained dryer vents and ductwork. If airflow is impeded, your dryer has to work harder, and this causes temperatures to rise and reduces the life of your appliance.
Regular cleaning of the dryer vent and ductwork is important for the safety of your home or building, and it’s occupants. The risk of fire cannot be ignored. Dr. Duct in Ottawa and will gladly schedule a time to inspect your ducts and recommend corrective actions to reduce this risk.
Eliminate Fire Risk
Dryers are used regularly in most homes, and with every use, lint gets trapped or accumulated in the vents, hampering air circulation. When airflow is blocked or impeded, the dryer has to work harder. As temperatures rise, it can cause a fire to ignite within your appliance or within your dryer’s ductwork. Damage can be extensive and is particularly tragic because it’s preventable with regular dryer vent cleaning.
Extend the Life of Your Dryer
When a dryer vent becomes clogged or blocked by lint or other particles, the dryer is forced to work harder. This strain may ultimately damage your machine, increase energy costs, and shorten the life of the dryer. Regular dryer vent cleaning can help to improve dryer’s operating efficiency.

When Should You Have Your Dryer Vent Cleaned?
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, more than 10,000 fires occur in the U.S. each year due to faulty dryer vents.
Heavy fabrics cause a significant amount of lint to accumulate within ducts and exhaust pipes, increasing the risk of fire. Keeping your dryer in good working order requires more than simply emptying the lint trap. Regular cleaning and inspection of the duct system that runs from the dryer to the outside of your home or business is necessary in order to completely eliminate fire hazards.
Warning signs that your dryer vent requires professional services:
- Increasingly longer drying time
- The outside of the dryer becomes very hot to the touch
- Outside dryer vent doesn’t flap properly when the dryer is running
- You detect a burning smell coming from the dryer
Regular Cleaning Of Your Dryer Vent Eliminates Fire Hazards
If the ducts connected to your dryer are not adequately installed or the duct material is outdated, dust, debris and other pollutants, including carbon monoxide, can be channeled back into your home or workplace. In additions, since the clothes dryer is frequently used on a daily basis in the average family home, the dryer vent should be cleaned and inspected every two to three years.
Your safety is threatened when a dryer duct system does not function properly and overheats. According to recommendations made by the national Fire Administration authorities, business and homeowners should have dryer vents cleaned regularly to avoid debris buildup within ventilation pipes that can cause fires or energy inefficiency and overload.
