After greeting the homeowner, the dryer is turned on and checked for proper working condition (inclusive of noise level and heat element of the dryer working).
Inspection of Airflow Before Dryer Vent Cleaning:
Vent termination inspected, any coverings or flaps are removed and cleaned, then reinstalled.
Dryer/DryerVent Cleaning Process:
The dryer is turned off and moved away from the wall. This is when the dryer will be cleaned through the lint screen area and the bottom tray area of dryer if accessible. A 4 inch vacuum hose is directly connected to vent pipe coming out of wall or floor in the laundry room and our RoVac vacuum (3 stage motor with hepa filter) turned on to extract lint and other obstructing materials. A 4 inch rotating brush on a spring leader is attached to a drill by means of a flexible connecting rod system and advanced from the outside vent termination all the way to the vacuum hose. After reaching the interior hose, the brush is reversed and the rod system is backed out, cleaning the vent a second time on its way out. The floor is vacuumed, transition vent inspected (replaced at owner expense if they desire) and reconnected to wall pipe. The dryer is then pushed back into original position, turned on, and checked again for proper working conditions.
Inspection of Airflow After Dryer Vent Cleaning:
The vent termination flaps are replaced and vent cap is caulked if needed with same color caulk.
