It's about safety first.
In 2010, an estimated 16,800 reported U.S. non-confined or confined home structure fires involving clothes dryers or washing machines resulted in 51 civilian deaths, 380 civilian injuries and $236 million in direct property damage. The leading cause of home clothes dryer and washer fires was failure to clean.

Keep the wilderness out.
We can install a magnetic dryer vent on the outside of your home which can greatly decraes the likelihood a bird will try to nest in the vent. Also ask about a new dryer hose connecting your dryer to the wall. This aids in keeping lint, fumes and dust heading out of the house and not seeping into your laundry room.
*not all properties qualify for this kind of vent, please advise with our tech.
