Dryer Vent Cleaning Boulder, CO

Leftover lint that you scrape off your lint screen trap comes from your clothing’s shredded fibers during the wash cycle. Sometimes, lint accumulates, and despite your best effort to wipe the screen clean after each use, lint build-up trickles into the machine’s exhaust duct. It slowly treks the inside of the vent pipe or hose until it blocks hot and humid airflow from flowing effortlessly out of the dryer vent towards the outside. This increases the likelihood of lint igniting on fire plus other troublesome outcomes like reduced indoor air quality and higher gas or electricity expenses on your monthly utility bill.

We always provide a first-rate and exhaustive service that will allow you to be completely satisfied and carefree so that your home won’t be engulfed by flames resulting from filthy ducts.

FORCED AIR PROCESS

In certain circumstances, lint build-up isn’t too serious and your handyman can get your dryer vents spick and span using a forced air tool. It operates like a reverse vacuum and blows lint and residue through the vent and out through the hose, leaving your ducts free of dust. Our team of skilled technicians takes the proper precautions to conduct a dryer vent cleaning while following these steps:

1. Unplug the dryer: We physically maneuver your dryer so that we can access the back end and then proceed to disconnect your dryer. If there is any flyaway lint or debris near the back we remove it manually.
2. Disconnect the duct: After inspecting the dryer duct we loosen the hose clamp and disconnect the duct. We also slightly loosen the clamp that connects the hose to the exhaust vent. If you have a gas-powered unit we suggest turning off the gas supply valve.
3. Vacuum the vent entrance: We use the vacuum cleaner to first suction off any debris around the vent and opening
4. Vacuum the vent: We attach a soft, flexible tube to the vacuum cleaner and proceed to navigate the duct clean by dabbling inside the hose
5. Brush away difficult spots: We attach a professional dryer vent cleaning brush to the power drill vacuum so we can dive deeper into the vent to clear out any tough debris. And by default, leftover lint remains will start tumbling out.
6. Tidy up: After we’re done cleaning the inside of the hose we will clean up the mess and leave the space neat and tidy.
7. Inspect the Exterior Vent: We will inspect the exterior vent and double-check for rust, loose parts, or damage
8. Clean Exterior Vent: We will then proceed to whisk away any clogged debris using a thin wire brush. But if it looks quite stuffy we would most likely remove the vent cover and use the power drill and brush to clean it accurately.
9. Clean Vent Cover: If there’s a thick layer of dust it’s best to wipe it away using some dish soap and warm water. Allow it to dry and reattach appropriately.
