Here at Dryer Vent Wizard Of East York and The Beaches in Toronto we make sure your home or business is safe. When we service your dryer vent exhaust system, we ensure all vent materials are compliant with the recommendations and requirements of one or more of the following: current IRC (International Residential Code), Underwriters Laboratory, dryer manufacturers, Consumer Product Safety Commission, and/or the National Fire Protection Association. If the correct material and products aren't used it could be hazardous and life threating.

A lot of times we find foil or plastic ducts as part of the dryer exhaust system. Unfortunately these go against dryer manufactures and code requirements. The correct dryer vent materials include rigid metal duct with a smooth interior that allows lint to easily pass through. The duct materials we use have a maximum flame-spread index, meaning it is less likely to burn and spread flames quickly in the event of a fire. We carry and supply zero smoke and zero flame products to protect your property and its occupants.

Connections between hard metal ducts sections and between the ducting and dryer are made with some semi-rigid metal duct and metal foil tape. These materials should be used only as connections in conjunction with rigid metal duct for the majority of the dryer venting system. No corners should be cut to ensure safety. Cheaper and more easily to work with products are sold, but they are not designed for a dryer exhaust system. They are not recommended

If your dryer vent run exceeds 35 feet (with no bends), a booster fan is recommended. A booster fan helps to ensure moisture and heat is pushed the length of the run to the termination. At the termination point, we can install a no-pest vent cap cover. The no-pest vent cap allows ample airflow while preventing birds, squirrels, and other pests from entering your dryer vent system.
