Dryer Vent Cleaning Los Angeles - Fire Prevention and Energy Savings


Dryer Vent Cleaning Los Angeles: Dryer vent cleaning is too often neglected by homeowners and business owners. Anyone who has a clothes dryer needs to have professional dryer vent cleaning performed at least once a year. This includes single family homes, apartment buildings, condos, public laundries, pet salons, nursing homes and anyplace where laundry is being done.

According to January 25, 2008 Consumer Reports, more than 13,000 dryer fires occur each year resulting in deaths, injuries and property damages. Many of these fires are caused by failure to clean dryer vents.


Improper dryer vent installation is another cause of dryer fires. Flexible dryer ducts made of foil or plastic are a big problem because they can sag and allow lint to build up at low points. Ridges will also trap lint. Inferior dryer vent systems should be replaced with solid metal ducts which will not sag. In addition, if your dryer does throw a spark and ignite lint in the dryer duct, a metal duct is most likely to contain it until it burns itself out.

Order professional dryer vent installation from a company who specializes in dryer exhaust issues and then be sure to have dryer vent cleaning performed annually to maintain the system and keep your clothes dryer operating safely and efficiently. Large families, those who have pets and public facilities will need to have dryer vent cleaning done more often.

In between professional dryer vent cleaning services be sure to clean the lint screen after EVERY load and maintain the area around the clothes dryer. Get rid of flammable items cluttering the laundry room such as boxes and combustible substances like paint thinner or some cleaning supplies. These will only add fuel to the fire if one should start.


When your clothes dryer starts to take more than one cycle to dry a load of laundry dryer vent cleaning is the only solution. Increased drying time is not a sign that your dryer is wearing out. Rarely is there a problem with the clothes dryer itself; the danger lurks in the dryer ducts. Once a year is good for most average households; however, some dryer vents require more attention.

Determining factors include:

Number of loads done each week
Age of dryer and type of dryer venting material
Dryer vent design; length of dryer vents, angles, number of turns and elbows
Extra long dryer vents with a lot of bends and turns will slow down air flow and allow more lint to build up

  2. Air cleaners remove as much as 99% of smallest dust particles in home, down to one micron in size. They will effectively eliminate more dust in your home than any furnace filter on market today. To get clear perspective of how effective this process is, consider that human hair measures approximately 150 microns and the smallest particle the human eye see is about 10 microns.
