Why is Proper Dryer Vent Installation Important?

Wondering why your dryer vent clogs up with lint so fast? Your problem may be an incorrectly installed dryer vent exhaust duct! If your vent is not installed properly, it may cause lint to build up at a certain point and even restrict your dryer's airflow. If lint is backing up the vent, you could be susceptible to a dryer fire.

The Importance of Rigid Metal Vents

A proper dryer vent should be made of rigid metal, as this holds its shape if bent and is least likely to sag. Flexible plastic or flexible foil vents don’t hold their shape and are likely to sag and trap lint. Using a heavy metal vent removes moisture from the laundry area, decreases the amount of lint buildup, and removes excess heat from your laundry area.

Thousands of Dryer Fires Each Year

There are thousands of dryer fires every year caused by lint build-up inside the dryer. Properly installed dryer ducts using rigid metal ducting are essential for preventing these hazards.

Benefits of Professional Dryer Vent Installation

• Minimized Fire Risks: Correctly installed vents reduce the risk of lint buildup and subsequent dryer fires.

The Air Doctor Standards

 Air Doctor adheres to NADCA standard specification guide and uses the source removal method. We use a portable HEPA filtered air duct vacuum system (and/or gas-powered commercial air duct vacuums) to clean all supply ducts, return air ducts, and plenums. This system is brought into each room and used in conjunction with a compressed air whip (and/or rotating power brushes). The air whip agitates the duct while the HEPA filtered air duct vacuum system creates a negative vacuum at 3500 cfm (up to 10,000 cfm with our gas-powered commercial air duct vacuums). Once each supply air duct is cleaned, the return air system is cleaned in the same fashion. Finally, we clean the furnace unit.
