Have Your Clothes Been Taking Too Long to Dry? Your Dryer Vent Might Need Repair
What happens if you need more than just a dryer vent cleaning? We’ve got you covered there too! With our customers’ safety in mind, 603 Chimney & Dryer Vent, LLC is an expert in all things venting, including repairing damaged dryer vents or even replacing your venting altogether.
When inspecting venting systems, there are a variety of issues our technicians may come across that could be causing your dryer vents not to function properly. Many of these issues can cause inefficiency in your venting system or lead to dangerous problems if not taken care of immediately.
Additionally, damage to your venting could cause many more problems than just inefficiency. If your vents are leaking or have become subject to water damage, they are a perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew.
How Does Dryer Vent Damage Happen?
Naturally, like many things that we use on a regular basis, your dryer vents are subject to wear and tear over time. Ductwork can come loose, water can damage venting, and depending on where your laundry room is, the dryer vent ducts may be stretched out across large distances, making it even more vulnerable to wear and tear, as well as a magnet for animal nesting debris.
The solution may be to repair damaged sections of ductwork, but if the damage from wear and tear is significant enough, your ducts will likely need to be replaced.
Another major problem that causes dryer vent problems from the start is improper installation. If your vents were not properly installed when your home was constructed, they could potentially be made of flammable materials or be restricting airflow throughout your venting system. For example, if your current ducts are flexible plastic or PVC, they will need to be switched out for metal ducts – because metal tubing ensures proper airflow, while PVC ducts might put your home at risk for a fire.
While there may be a number of things affecting your dryer vents and causing damage, our technicians can locate the problem and offer you the best solutions to fix it.
Common dryer vent issues that require repair or replacement:
- Leaking vents and exhaust systems
- Mold damage
- Damage from overheating caused by lint buildup
- Inefficiency due to poor or improper installation
- Compressed or excessively long tubing
- Vents that have become disconnected over time due to overheating
- Air filters that need replacing
- Different types of ducts (plastic, PVC) that may need to be swapped for metal for safety reasons
- Ducts that need to be rerouted
