OVERVIEW
Dryer fires are much more common than you would think. When your vent is not clean, your dryer runs a lot hotter and increases the chances that something catches on fire. Leaving your dryer vent full, is not only hazardous to the safety of your home, it can drastically increase your energy bill, and shorten the life of your appliance.
A lot of companies claim to clean dryer vents but few provide lasting results. We can clean your vents with professional grade vacuums and use a brush through the entire length of the vent to make sure the bulk is cleaned out.
Your dryer vent should be cleaned at least once a year depending on how often you use your dryers. Patriot Vent Cleaning can provide a trusted professional grade dryer vent cleaning service
Numbers
on dryer fires
Patriot Vent Cleaning takes great pride in not only being your locally trusted leader for Dryer Vent Services but by also educating our customers on the importance of maintaining properly working Dryer Vents. Many Dryer related fires have been caused due to excessively clogged Dry Vents or improperly installed Dry Ventilation systems.
Is your dryer trying to tell you something? There are many warning signs that may indicate a problem with a dryer vent. Excess lint behind the dryer, mold and mildew, and overheating are just a few of the most common symptoms of a clogged dryer vent.
Has your dryer ever stopped working due to overheating? If it has ever happened to you, then, either the vent is clogged, or the duct is obstructed.
The signs of a clogged or obstructed dryer vent are also warnings that should alert you to other complications that may follow such as dryer fire, carbon monoxide buildup (if you have a gas dryer), or mold growth. By monitoring your dryer for these warning signs, you can discover when a professional dryer vent cleaning is in order. Scheduling regular dryer vent cleanings with Patriot Vent Cleaning helps protect your home or business from dryer fires and yourself from wasting time and money.
Manufacturers typically recommend that the dryer vent system is cleaned and inspected at a minimum of once per year. However, if you see any of the warning signs above, don’t wait to schedule an appointment with Patriot Vent Cleaning by calling us at 77-800-9282.
Home
dryer fires
Clothes dryers are an everyday household item that can pose a serious risk of fire if they are not properly maintained. A clothes dryer operates by blowing hot air through a revolving drum. As clothes are dried, lint is produced as water is removed. Lint accumulation, in the dryer and in the dryer vent, can reduce airflow and create a highly flammable fuel source.
In 2014-2018, local fire departments responded to an estimated average of 13,820 home structure fires per year in which dryers were involved in the ignition.
These fires caused an average of 7 civilian deaths, 344 civilian injuries, and $233 million in direct property damage annually.
Dryers caused 4 percent of home structure fires, less than 1 percent of home fire deaths, and 3 percent of home fire deaths and direct fire property damage.
One-third (32 percent) of dryer fires were caused by a failure to clean. This appears to be mainly lint build-up, as 27 percent of dryer fires started when dust, fiber or lint ignited.
Mechanical failures or malfunctions caused 27% of dryer fires; 16% were caused by electrical failures or malfunctions.
78% percent of the dryers involved in home fires were powered by electricity while 22% were powered by gas. This is generally consistent with usage.
According to the American Housing Survey, 79% of household dryers in 2017 were powered by electricity and 21% by gas.
Signs
your dryer vent should be cleaned
These are just a few of the most common warning signs for your Dryer Vent may be clogged or not installed or maintained properly. While some articles online will teach how do clean your dryer vent yourself, many of these techniques can cause further clogs or damage to the vent. We also recommend that all Chimney or Dryer Vent Cleaning or Repairs be made by a certified Chimney or Dry Vent technician.
Excessive Lint
Do you have lint on your clothing, behind your dryer, or in the door seal? Excessive lint can be a warning sign that your dryer vents need to be cleaned and maintained.
Overheating / Shut off
Clogged dryer vents can lead to your dryer overworking and overheating. To prevent fires, your dryer may be warning you by shutting down.
Long Drying Times
Restricted air flow causes trapped moisture in your dryer, resulting in longer drying times. This is a warning sign that your dryer vents could be obstructed.

While in the Navy, Ruy's first duty station was in Jacksonville, FL, and he vowed to move to Florida someday, because it reminds him of his birth country. And that someday became a reality in 2015, and the rest is history.
