Is Dryer Vent Cleaning Worth It?
My clothes don’t come out dry!
After your clothes run through a dryer cycle do they still come out a little damp?
This is because a dryer vent is designed to push out hot moist air, but vents clogged with lint makes the moist air stay inside the dryer.
There’s a musty smell coming from my dryer
Mold and mildew can form in your dryer vent line when moisture can’t exit the dryer due to a clog.
Condensation is forming on walls and ceilings around my dryer
When moist air can’t escape through your dryer vent line, then it will go somewhere else. If not back inside the dryer, it will escape into your laundry room, causing condensation to form on your walls and ceiling.
