If changing the ventilation is not an option, consider insulating your vent pipes to reduce moisture capturing.</p></div>

Ramon, Johnny and Tyrus did a very good job installing drain tile and sump pump in our basement. They were very friendly and communicated very well throughout the project. They left the worksite very clean when they left. Would not hesitate to use them again.

Daryl, Johnny and the rest of the crew were great. Arrived on time every morning and when they finished for the day the work site was cleaned. They even skimmed to pool to make sure there was no debris . The project took 3 1/2 days and we couldn't be happier.

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Regularly cleaning filters, lint traps, and vents and maintaining balanced loads aid in optimizing performance and longevity.

Exhaust systems should be inspected annually to prevent efficiency loss and address any arising mechanical issues.

Taking good care of your dryer will help ensure its longevity and keep your clothes nice and dry. Some dryer maintenance tips include:

Clearing the lint screen after every use
Deep cleaning the lint screen with detergent every three months
Don’t overload your dryer
Cleaning the dryer vent at least once a year
Cleaning the dryer drum twice a year with a microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol

Signs include longer drying cycles, a burning smell, excess lint behind the dryer, and the vent hood not opening properly.

If your dryer is wet inside, it could be due to a poorly designed ventilation system. This happens more frequently during the hotter months as heat is trapped inside the vent duct. Broken or failing seams and seals on the vent pipe can also allow warm air to enter. If changing the ventilation is not an option, consider insulating your vent pipes to reduce moisture capturing.
