A clothes dryer is an appliance used in households powered by electricity that is used for the removal of moisture from the clothing and other types of textiles. Most dryers are made with having a rotating drum called as the tumbler in which the heated air will be circulated for the evaporation of moisture. The most common effect of using this kind of machine is it makes the clothes to shrink and it makes it less soft.

This appliance is being used widely in San Diego, CA and this is also relied by a lot of people. And because of this reason, processes involved in dryer vent cleaning should be done regularly and properly for avoiding the risk of fire hazard. Many cases have been reported concerning on the people that are poisoned by the gas fumes because of blocked vents.

Though to clean your lint traps is a good idea but this would not be enough for preventing fire. So in order to keep it safe and efficient, to replace the vinyl or the transition ducts which are flexible and made of plastic between dryers and main vents with a transition duct made of metal and is semi rigid. This is needed since those transition ducts made from vinyl or plastic may easily cause fire.

You should also see to it that the openings in the pipes outside do not have some debris, bushes, or birds nest. If the systems for dryer vents are not properly exhausted, it causes the overheating and the threatening of your home, safety, and health. To clean the vent systems are often done only by the owners, but to contact the people who are experts for the cleaning of these vent systems is done also.

However, there may be some signs that would tell the owner that the dryer vents are having problems due to pipes blocked by debris and need to be cleaned. Some signs are clothes are not dried after a drying cycle, having musty odors, debris is found in the opening, etc.

These vents may be cleaned by the professionals or HVAC specialists. There are also some companies that are offering the services and specializes the cleaning of duct works and dryer vents. They have the right tools and employees have undergone proper training about this.

Other services may also provide the home owners with a diagnostic test right after the cleaning service. This test provides a result for the pressure amount that is being sent through vents, the gas amount that escapes to the home, and those unwanted gaps in the ventilation pipes. The costs of these services vary upon the companies and other important factors.

An important recommendation is to clean the appliance once a year. But for people who have been using it twice a week or more, cleaning number may be increased. Even if you may do it yourself, it is still better to contact a professional who will do the job.
