Ductwork Before & After Photos

A dirty dryer vent may not seem like a big deal, but in addition to being a fire hazard it runs up your gas or electric bill. The clothes dryer uses more energy than any other household appliance and works by evaporating the moisture off your clothes then blowing the moist air away.  The faster the airstream the faster your clothes get dry, and the less it costs. So keeping dryer ductwork clean is important.

Lawson Home Services technician measured the speed of the airstream coming directly out of the dryer at 18 mph.  But hooked up to the dirty duct the poor dryer couldn't even get the airstream up to 5 mph.  But after a thorough clean-out the airstream was cruising along at 15 mph, a threefold improvement. 

Ductwork gets dirty, just like anything else. This before and after picture of the ductwork in. georgetown, DE home shows just how nasty the ducts can get, and what they look like after Lawson Home Services' technician completes the clean out. They almost look brand new. 

Look at the before picture. Would you want to be breathing air that passed by all that yuck, duct, allergens and microbial growth which can lead to the growth of unhealthy mold? Of course not.

Keeping dryer vents clean is an essential thing that should be done in order to keep energy bills low, since the clothes dryer is the most expensive of all household appliances to operate. Moist lint sticks to the inside of the vent, over time restricting the airflow and increasing the amount of time it take for to dry the clothes. Lawson's technician will be in and out in a jiffy, and when he is done your dryer ducts will look brand new. 

So why not give us a call to schedule your clean out. While our technician is there he can also give you other ideas how Lawson Home Services can improve the comfort of your home and help lower your energy bills. 

Lawson Home Service's technician got a little surprise when he arrived to clean out the dryer ductwork in this Berlin, MD home.  The ductwork was completely missing and the dryer had been exhausting all the moisture and lint from the dryer directly into the crawlspace beneath this home.

We could write an entire chapter about the problems this creates for a homeowner.  Without going into a lot of details lets just throw out a few words to give you an idea:  rotting floors, mold, pests, bacteria,  poor indoor air quality, allergies, and chronic illness.  Sound bad? It is. 

Our technician installed new ductwork, including a flap and birdcage to prevent pests, vermin and birds from intruding. Now the moist air is exhausted to the outside where it should be.
