Call DUCTZ. Dryer vent fires cause hundreds of thousands of damage each year, in addition to untold loss of property and life. New Residential dryer manufacturers recommend a safety inspection (and cleaning if necessary) annually in order to comply with warranties (every 6 months for commercial dryer vents). How do you know when your service is needed?
Advanced Warning Signs
- Clothes (especially towels or jeans) that take a long time to dry
- Clothes are hotter than usual at the end of the cycle
- Flapper on vent hood doesn't open when dryer is on
- Clothes dryer is hot to the touch on the outside of the unit
- The dryer is shutting off before the cycle is completed (a safety control indicating that the dryer has exceeded a safe temperature)
If any of the above have happened or are happening to you, please call your local DUCTZ at 623-466-8625 immediately to schedule a dryer vent cleaning.
