Prevent Home Fires

Clogged dryer vents are one of the leading causes of house fires. As lint gets trapped and ignites due to the intense amount of heat generated by the appliance. Drye vent cleaning should be done on an annual basis to help not only prevent future fire damage, but to help your drying machine run more efficiently. You can trust the professionals at Accent American to get the job done right!

Some signs that your dryer vent may need cleaning are that your dryer is taking an abnormally long time to get a load of clothes dry.  Consequenlty, that can get really frustrating having to run additional cycles, and it can get expensive with power usage. Your dryer may get really hot. You may also smell a slight burning odor when drying laundry.

Effective Dryer Vent Cleaning Solutions

There are many options to clean a dryer vent, including the do it yourself method using a drill. While these methods may be effective if your dryer is vented to an outside wall, they may not be completely effective if your machine ventilates upwards into the ceiling. We use a high powered truck mounted vacuum unit, which is powerful enough to pull 90% of the lint out of the vent, leaving the pathway clean and clear.  We use a brush and thoroughly clean the dryer vent, removing the lint and dust.

The lint trapped inside your dryer can cause serious unintended problems, such as fire damage. Call the Accent American professionals at 813-621-6015 to get your vents cleaned the right way. And keep you and your family safe from a home fire.
