can Reroute Dryer Duct or Replace Dryer Vent System to Ensure Safety
Inferior dryer duct configurations can restrict airflow and cause several problems for homeowners including poor indoor air quality and significantly higher energy bills
Geist, IN – While performing a dryer vent inspection and service, Glen Mayfield, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard points out common problems and provides solutions to improve dryer performance and efficiency. Safety standards have changed over the years and the Wizard finds a problem with 9 out of 10 dryer inspections. Professional dryer vent installation by the Wizard ensures the dryer vent system meets current city, state and manufacturer safety standards.
There are several common problems Mayfield finds with dryer vents installed by homeowners. Vinyl vent kits are a popular choice because they are easy to install; however these systems sag and allow lint to build up in the low points. Another problem is that they are often longer than necessary so the excess material is left coiled in a heap behind the clothes dryer. This completely restricts air flow and leads to a fire hazard. These kits are really only designed to be used with a bathroom exhaust fan, not the extreme heat produced by a clothes dryer.
When asked about flexible foil dryer vents, Glen explains that they were an improvement over the plastic or vinyl; however, they can also sag or become crushed when the dryer is pushed closer the wall. Current safety standards call for solid metal dryer ducts.
Glen Mayfield recommends professional dryer vent installation to ensure dryer safety and efficiency. Dryer Vent Wizard (http://geist.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) uses solid metal material for dryer ducts. This is connected to the dryer with a metal clamp and joints are sealed with foil tape to prevent dryer exhaust leaks.
The Wizard recommends regularly scheduled dryer vent service to reduce the risk of dryer fires and keep dryers operating safely and efficiently. Even the best system installed by the Wizard will accumulate lint over time. All dryer vent systems require maintenance.
