Fires in dryer exhaust ducts pose a serious risk to consumers.In fact, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a consumer product safety alert. According to the CPSC, annually there are 15,500 fires, 10 deaths and 310 injuries due to dryer exhaust duct fires. These fires result in millions of dollars in property loss. Because the dryer duct is usually 4″ diameter, the slightest amount of deposit can greatly reduce the ability to exhaust. When it starts taking longer to dry the clothes, the problem is not usually the dryer but rather the exhaust system. PowerBees recommends the annual cleaning of all dryer vents and dryer ducts. Dryer vent cleaning is known to prevent home fires, improve the efficiency of dryer use and reduce energy costs. When your dryer takes longer to dry clothes than it used to, it is time to clean your dryer vent. Occasionally, there are obstructions in dryer vent ducts that block airflow, such as birds, nests and other debris. PowerBees incorporates the use of video cameras to identify blockages and dryer duct detachments within walls.

Once a blockage is identified our technicians will clear the blockage from the dryer duct and continue cleaning the dyer vent.

Always have a screen in front of the opening when a fire is lit. This will prevent sparks from flying out of the fireplace.
