Dryer Duct Cleaning information will be added from our experience over the last 20 years in the ventilation cleaning industry. In the mean time we are opening the site so you can at least read our 'Contact' information. Our service business operates in British Columbia only but our consulting will be for most home owners, condominium and townhouse strata councils and Property Management companies.

The picture of lint was removed from a townhouse complex. Small particles of lint pass threw the lint trap when the trap screen is clean. The cleaner you keep the lint trap the faster the air can travel, reducing drying time.

Your situation and dryer duct configuration will be unique in most cases. Even in condominiums and townhouses that appear to look similar, the dryer ducting is not necessarily the same as your neighbours.

You will be able to use this website soon to find out more information and personal consulting for your single residence or multi suite condominium complex.

Customer registration and Consulting services will be available in the coming month of April 2009.

Lint is the deterioration of your clothing, sheets, towels etc. Lint is mainly cotton. We normally wash our clothes in the washing machine first. This machine will agitate the material and also cause some wear. When moved to the clothes dryer small particles of 'Lint' will start to break away from the clothes or off the material being dried.  Any cloth item will break down over a period of time from being tumbled in your washer and dryer appliance. The washer does it's job and the clothes dryer catches the particles in the from of what we call lint, in the lint trap.

The lint will build at the lint trap. Clothes dryer lint traps should be cleaned at least after every load of laundry you are drying. You may even want to stop the clothes dryer and check the lint trap halfway through a load of laundry. The cleaner the lint trap, the better the air flow. Better air flow equals faster drying times, which may save you electricity.

The type of material used to hook up the clothes dryer in this picture helped cause the lint build up behind this clothes dryer. This material and the best type to use for connecting your clothes dryer to the wall will be discussed further in other articles. Please be careful what you buy for connecting your clothes dryer to the wall in your home. This wrong material pictured here is sold as a dryer duct connection 'Kit' at some very large stores. Hard pipe is not always the answer and it leaks too!
