A lucky break for this family! Don’t run your dryer if someone isn’t home! It’s not worth the risk.

If you need help maintaining your dryer vent system and evicting that pesky lint, give us a call today!

Do you have any idea how often I start the dryer before I walk out the door to leave ?

We do on average 3-4 loads of laundry a day ...
And thats just how we keep it running for our big family ...
Wash a load , and throw it in the dryer so when we get back home there is a clean load done .

I clean the duct faithfully every month ... all . the . way .

From having a special brush to clean out the dryer front and back , removing the flex duct to clean , cleaning the remaining pipe all the way outside ( thankfully its a straight shot so pretty easy to do ) .

This dryer has lasted way longer than any other we have had ....
No real problems other than lightbulb going out ...

But somewhere along the way a seal or something gave way and started letting lint gather down on the motor ...

I've replaced many parts on previous dryers and have never seen lint anywhere near the motor like this .

Literal blankets sitting on it ...

Tonight it had enough and started burning ...

First assumption was I put something in the dryer I shouldn't have , because it just smelled hot ...

After unplugging it , removing laundry load , checking that lint vents were clear I thought hmmm well thats odd nothing seems out if the ordinary ...
And then the smoke started seeping out ...
Wow ... What the heck...

Threw it out the back door , removed the back as quickly as possible ( gosh darn 10 screws later and it was still attached at the top ) ...

No flames , but it was black and smoke was heavy ...

Someone above was watching out for us ...
I didn't start it before we left this morning. As we walked out the door , I thought oh crap I forgot to start the laundry this morning ...

Who knows what we woulda came home to 🙁

Tonight my heart is so grateful that I didn't start that load this morning .
So grateful it didn't happen after we went to bed , because I often throw a load in at bed time too ...
So grateful we caught it before it was any worse .

We talk a lot about fire hazards, but wait…there’s more!

🚨This is what happens when your dryer vent goes uncleaned for too long. It may not catch on fire! With the perfect conditions, you just get lint buildup, a vent that is falling apart, and some serious moisture damage when it finally breaks.

Don’t wait until it’s this bad! call us before it becomes a hazard of ANY sort!

Great reminder from the Ohio State Fire Marshal! Dryer vent cleaning IS a part of that spring safety checklist — and we’re here to help you check it off. 🧹

Spring cleaning? Don’t forget the dryer!

🔧 Clear the exhaust pipe & check the outdoor vent flap.
📦 Keep flammable items and empty dryer loads with gasoline residue away from the dryer!

It’s quick, easy, and stops household fires before they start.

💨 Is your dryer working overtime?

If your clothes take 2–3 cycles to dry, your dryer vent is probably clogged. That means:
⚡ Higher electric/gas bills
🔥 Extra wear and tear on your dryer
🧺 Wasted time

A clean dryer vent = faster drying + lower energy bills + longer appliance life.

Don’t replace your dryer before checking the vent!
Send us a message and let’s get it flowing properly again.

America, Canada, no matter where you are, clean that lint trap and check those vents! Can’t do it? Dont have the time? Give us a call today!

That is not dust. That is fuel. 🔥
We found this inside a dryer! Lint builds up fast, and it is highly flammable. All it takes is heat, restricted airflow, and ignition.

Dryer fire prevention is simple and critical:
🧼 Clean the lint screen before every load.
🧽 Wash the lint screen monthly with warm soapy water to remove dryer sheet residue that blocks airflow.
🛠 Pull the dryer out and clean behind it.
🌬 Inspect and clean the dryer duct and vent pipe at least once a year.
🏠 Make sure the outdoor vent flap opens freely.

When ducts are clogged, heat cannot escape. The dryer overheats, parts fail, and lint becomes fuel.
Share this to remind someone to check their dryer today.

Do you know where your dryer vent exits the home?

A dryer vent should exhaust moisture, lint, and fumes to the exterior of the home. If a vent terminates in the crawlspace, the dust and moisture settle in that space, creating a rich environment for mold growth and structural deterioration. Lint trapped in certain confined spaces and exposed to increased temperatures can also become a fire hazard.

Happy New Year to all! We hope the holidays treated you well, that grandparents were surrounded by loving future generations, and parents caught a little break from the hustle and bustle to laugh and joke with loved ones!

Luckily we should be warming up for the next few days, but in the mean time, make sure you’re checking your dryer vent caps for ice and snow buildup.

While you’re at it, check the paint on your foundation. Typically, cracks and peeling paint are indicative of moisture!

When all else fails (or if you just don’t want to do it) give us a call to schedule today!

We visited our friends over at Stone Creek Assisted Living and Memory Care and helped them fix a disconnected duct, clean out over 40ft of ductwork, and replace 4 caps that were damaged, allowing a flock of birds to take up residence in the vents!

Is your assisted living facility taking care of business like Stone Creek? If not, send a message or give us a call today!

No birds were harmed or captured in the cleaning of these vents!
