KWiK Dryer Vent Services

Here at KWiK we provide comprehensive end to end debris removal and maintenance for your dryer exhaust system starting from the dryer inside your home to the outside exhaust port including filters and screens. Our technician will ensure that you have a comprehensive understanding of how your specific dryer exhaust system works as well as the current state of your dryer vent. Our technician will provide you with personalized recommendations for any necessary cleaning and a maintenance schedule based on your specific setup and your home dryer usage.

5 Signs You Need a Cleaning

• Dryer overheating or error codes
• Clothes taking multiple cycles to dry
• Lint buildup around dryer and outside vent
• Higher Utility Bills
• Its been more than a year since your last vent cleaning

Process

At KWiK our process begins with a comprehensive inspection of your exhaust system. We start with an inspection of your exterior exhaust port. We will identify any defects or broken hardware that needs replacing like the vent door. A comprehensive cleaning of your dryer vent requires that we can access the rear of the dryer and work back from the vent where we will inspect your vent connection and the state of your current ductwork. If it is suspected that there are defects in the ductwork between the dryer and the exterior exhaust, we have the ability to “scope” your ductwork for a more detailed view.

We will review our findings with you as well as our recommendations. You will have a full understanding of the services we will provide and the associated costs.

From there you can leave it to us! Our technician will provide KWiK efficient cleaning and repair services to get you back up and running safely. We will be sure to keep the work areas clean, both indoors and out.

Maintenance & Repair

Over time your exhaust system will experience expected wear and tear. The primary cause of deteriorating venting function is the build up of lint and debris from general use of your dryer appliance. It’s imperative that you have routine cleaning and debris removal done. The time interval between cleanings should be driven by your generally expected usage. If for instance you have a family of 5 with active kids, you may need routine cleaning more often than a family of 2.

The other major contributor to breakdown in your dryer exhaust system is time. Events like replacing dryers and home renovations can take their toll on your interior connections and ductwork while exterior exhaust hardware is constantly subjected to the elements. While cleaning is generally sufficient in the earlier years of home ownership, long term maintenance of the individual exhaust system parts is also critical to the overall system function.

Advantages to dryer vent maintenance and repair include:

• Proper function of dryer vents reduces chance of fire hazard
• Proper venting of moisture from the home reduces the incidence of mold and mildew
• Potential increase in the life of your appliances by reducing the work it has to do
• Reduces power consumption by making appliances more efficient
