Job #199. Customer had just purchased and brand new dryer because it was taking 3 to 4 cycles to dry clothes. (This is not a good sign by the way. Upon further investigation we found that from the back of the dryer was a "foil" type hose that went through the wall then turned and went straight up another approximately 25 feet and vented through the roof. Immediately we were able to diagnose the problem: First, the foil type hose (which should NEVER be used) and second the 25 foot vertical run to the roof. Upon removing the foil type vent hose, we found exactly what we had predicted: Completely impacted and clogged with lint. Word to the wise: NEVER use foil type connection hose for your dryer. And never have your dryer vent go vertical and through the roof. You are inviting trouble, meaning, a tremendous fire hazard. We were very happy to have been able to make this home more safe for the family. Be sure to have any and all dryer vents maintenanced once per year after your initial cleaning. Remember there are an average of 16,000 dryer fires per year. And 18 to 20 deaths as a result of dryer fires. Get your dryer vent system cleaned, serviced, certified and maintained by us. And breathe a little easier. Your dryer will last longer, and use much less electricity. So it's good for the environment too. Call us today

Just cleaning the lint screen isn't always enough. We get deep down into the dryer to get every last piece of lint.

Larry,

We wanted to let you know much we appreciate the prompt and efficient manner that Smart Vent Atlanta helped us with our dryer vent problem. As you know, our dryer was not drying clothes properly. This is a rather new dryer but the drying cycle frequently had to be repeated. Then we started to smell a foul odor. When the vent was cleaned; you not only removed a huge amount of lent, you also found a bird nest and dead bird. The dryer is now working properly without the foul odor. In addition to improved dryer performance, we eliminated a potentially hazardous fire source. We plan to have you repeat this cleaning to assure that it does not become clogged again.
