Ductwork Before & After Photos

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. 

The clogged dryer vent in this Berlin, MD home was a serious fire hazard. Every year over 15,000 dryers catch fire as a result of dirty clogged dryer vents. 
Just look at the pictures and you can imagine what was lurking inside the vent tubes running from the dryer to this clogged termination flap before Lawson Home Services technician completed this dryer vent clean out. It's quick and easy, and best of all affordable.

Did you know a clothes dryer uses more energy than any other household appliance? That's why it's important to keep it running as efficiently as possible. Keeping the dryer duct clean is the most important thing you can do to ensure your dryer is running as efficiently as possible.

A dryer works by moving hot air over your clothes, causing the moisture to evaporate. That moist air is then blown out of the dryer and through the ductwork where it is exhausted outside the home. If too much lint accumulates in the ductwork the airstream is restricted and the dryer cannot operated efficiently.

Look at this dirty lint filled dryer duct in this Clarksville, DE home. The airstream in this ductwork was restricted to 7 miles per hour. Look how bright and shiny it was when Lawson Home Service's technician finished cleaning it.  The airstream in this clean ductwork now moves twice as fast, 16 miles per hour, which translates into big energy savings for the home owner. 

Did you know a clothes dryer is the most costly appliance to use in your home? That is because clothes dryers use large amounts of energy to generate the heat necessary for  drying wet clothes, heat that must then be expelled through the vents which carry the moisture outside the house.  Therefore it's critically important to keep dryer vent hoses clean and clear, since the faster the air can move through the vent line the quicker clothes dry, saving energy and money. Clogged dryer vents not only waste money, but create a dangerous fire hazard as well.

This homeowner in Ocean View, DE was aware of this and called Lawson Home Services to perform a dryer vent clean out. This service doesn't take long to perform and the cost savings far outweigh the cost of the service. Just look at the difference. After cleaning this vent looks like it was just installed brand new.
