Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning in Owasso, OK

Prevent Dryer Fires with Professional Vent Cleaning

Dryer fires cause an estimated 15,000 home fires, 15 deaths, 400 injuries, and $200 million in property damage annually in the United States. The leading cause? Failure to clean dryer vents. Lint is highly flammable and accumulates rapidly in vents, reducing airflow and creating extreme heat buildup. When temperatures reach ignition points, lint ignitesoften while you're sleeping or away from home. What makes this especially tragic is that dryer fires are completely preventable with proper vent maintenance.

How Often Should Dryer Vents Be Cleaned?

The U.S. Fire Administration recommends annual dryer vent cleaning for most households. However, cleaning frequency should increase based on several factors:

• Large Families: Every 6 months (heavy dryer use)
• Pet Owners: Every 6-9 months (pet hair increases lint)
• Long Vent Runs: Every 6 months (over 25 feet or multiple bends)
• Average Household: Annually (2-4 loads per week)
• Light Use: Every 18 months (1-2 loads weekly)

The Hidden Costs of Clogged Dryer Vents

Beyond fire risk, clogged vents cost you money daily. When airflow is restricted, dryers work harder and longer, consuming 25-40% more energy. Running two cycles instead of one doubles your energy cost for each load. Overworked dryers fail sooner, requiring expensive repairs or replacement. Professional vent cleaning typically costs $100-$200 but can save $200-$300 annually in energy costs alone while preventing a $50,000+ house fire.
