When to Call for Vent Cleaning?

Is your dryer making you wait?

Those minor inconveniences you’re experiencing are actually critical warning signs that your dryer vent is dangerously clogged.

If you notice longer drying times (often requiring two or more cycles), or if your clothes feel unusually hot and the exterior of your dryer is hot to the touch, your appliance is struggling to push air, creating dangerous heat buildup.

Even worse, a burning smell while running is a direct indication of lint ignition risk.

Don’t ignore these clues! A simple blockage can quickly escalate into an expensive repair or a devastating house fire. If you recognize any of these symptoms, call Mr. Sparkle immediately to clear the hazard and restore safety and efficiency to your laundry room.

Why is dryer vent cleaning important?

There are several important reasons to call Mr. Sparkle to clean your dryer vents.

  • Helps prevent house fires. Yes, you heard that right. A significant number of house fires are caused by clogged dryer vents.
  • Clean dryer vents save on your energy bill. By allowing more air to flow through, your dryer can work more efficiently. 
  • Run the dryer less often with fewer loads. Clean dryer vents improve efficiency, which means fewer loads or less overall time to run the dryer. 
  • Clean dryer vents help with air circulation in your home, helping to reduce dust, pollen, and other particles circulating.

Our Expert Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

When you choose Mr. Sparkle, you get a thorough, safety-focused cleaning designed to maximize your dryer’s performance and protect your home.

Dryer Vent / Duct Cleaning from Outside only

Vent Cleaning is done from outside access. A skipper ball is inserted into the ductwork. A device shoots down the duct spinning and pushing everything in its path to the outside. The skipper ball works its way through, up to the flex duct at the dryer.

Pros
Homeowner does not have to be home, therefore reducing the cost.

Cons
Cannot be done if a lint trap or booster fan is installed.
We can’t guarantee that all lint will be removed from flex hose at the dryer.
