In spite of recent media attention and increased efforts by the Mason Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard, many people still do not realize the importance of annual dryer vent inspection and maintenance service.

To date almost every home has a dryer. Airflow is the most important requirement for a dryer to work safely and efficiently. Gas dryers pose a carbon monoxide threat when not properly vented.

A clogged dryer vent is an unknown source for mold and other indoor air contaminants that can lead to health issues for residents. The biggest concern with lint accumulation in the dryer vent system is a fire hazard. Dryer vent cleaning is the best way to properly maintain a clothes dryer to eliminate a number of hazards. Ed Rauch combines service with education in effort to raise public awareness about the many benefits of good dryer maintenance.

Dryer vent cleaning eliminates a fire hazard. Only about 60 percent of the lint produced by tumbling laundry is caught in the lint screen. The rest becomes trapped inside the dryer or in the dryer vent tube. This condition will restrict airflow and cause overheating which can lead to a dryer fire.

Dryer vent cleaning improves dryer efficiency to reduce energy cost. Increased drying time is rarely a sign of wear or malfunction. It is almost always directly related to poor venting due to lint accumulation.
