What causes a Dryer Fire?

Dryers must vent the hot air from the dryer to the outside of the house. Lint becomes detached from the clothes and is carried out through the exhaust. If lint builds up in the exhaust pipe or inside the dryer, it slows the air movement through the dryer and out the exhaust. The slower air movement causes more lint to collect on the backside of the dryer drum, on the dryer motor, or on the electrical connections inside the dryer, placing the highly combustible lint on top of and adjacent to heat sources inside the dryer.

How do we clean Dryer Vents?

Pull out the clothes dryer and attach the high powered vacuum to the internal vent.
From the inside vent insert the high-pressure compressed air tool, a jet-snake. The jet-snake moves down the vent blasting the lint into the high powered vacuum.
Then we send up the spinning air jet hose, to clean out the vent and the remaining lint.
Check airflow from the inside and outside vent.
Vacuum the back and front of the clothes dryer, collecting the rest of lint.
(DURING THE CLEANING PROCESS NO LINT WILL ENTER DRYER OR PROPERTY)
