Dryer Vent System Inspection
A dryer vent system inspection can identify issues contributing to excess dryer heat. During the inspection, our service professionals will thoroughly examine the entire dryer vent system for blockages or buildup. We’ll ensure your dryer vent has efficient airflow to prevent overheating. We can resolve any issues before they worsen and damage your system.

Dryer Vent Cleaning
Cleaning is vital for keeping the dryer vent working optimally to reduce the risk of overheating. Removing blockages with dryer duct cleaning can restore airflow and remove any flammable buildup, like lint. By prioritizing regular dryer vent cleaning, property owners can ensure proper ventilation, reduce excess heat, and minimize the risk of any safety hazards associated with doing laundry.

Booster Fan Installation
When dryer vents are too long or aren’t properly built for the system, the airflow inside the dryer is restricted. Booster fan installation can address excess dryer heat by improving the airflow and adding a much-needed boost. We can install a booster fan in the dryer vent line needing help to push air out so the heat doesn’t get trapped inside the system.
