Lint and debris can build up in your clothes dryer vent and may cause your dryer to exhaust at less than optimum efficiency. This creates potentially hazardous conditions including carbon monoxide intrusion and house fires. Window Gang in Hickory, Lenoir, Blowing Rock, & Boone, North Carolina can inspect your dryer vent to see if your gas clothes dryer is improperly vented or the exhaust duct itself is blocked by lint or debris, carbon monoxide can be forced back into your living space.
When Window Gang in Hickory, Lenoir, Blowing Rock & Boone, NC (Catawba, Caldwell & Watauga Counties) inspects and cleans your dryer vent, they also verify that the correct type of duct is being used. For example, plastic transition ducts (joining the dyer to the wall) should be replaced with metal duct, because it is non-flammable, unlike plastic.
Having WIndow Gang inspect your dryer vent annually is more necessary than ever before due to the complex construction of homes built today. Newer homes tend to have dryers located away from an outside wall in bathrooms, kitchens and in hall closets which is convenient, but potentially dangerous from a safety standpoint. As a result, dryer ducts are harder to access and this additional length creates more places where lint can collect and animals and birds can hide- causing a blockage that can potentially cause a house fire.
WIndow Gang, in Hickory, Lenoir, Blowing Rock & Boone, NC (Catawba, Caldwell & Watauga Counties), is certified through CSIA (The Chimney Safety Institute of America). Our Certified Dryer Exhaust Technicians have passed an extensive exam on the proper inspection and maintenance of dryer vents, including applicable codes and standards relating to these systems.
