AA Airduct Roswell, NM

The Mechanics of a Fire Hazard

Lint is highly flammable. Your dryer works by pushing hot air and moisture out through the vent. When lint accumulates in the pipe—especially in the long, winding vent runs common in modern Roswell, NM homes—it restricts this airflow. This causes heat to build up inside the dryer and the vent pipe. If the heat gets high enough, it can ignite the lint, causing a fire that can quickly spread into the walls of your home.

Our Professional Cleaning Solution

Cleaning the lint trap after every load is essential, but it captures only a fraction of the lint produced. The rest passes into the vent pipe inside your walls. Our technicians use specialized tools to clean the entire length of the vent, from the back of the dryer all the way to the exterior exit cap.

We insert a flexible, rotating brush system that navigates the bends and elbows of your vent line. This brush scrubs the walls of the pipe, dislodging lint, while a high-powered vacuum captures the debris. We also inspect the exterior vent hood to ensure it is not blocked by bird nests or crushed, which is a common issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can you clean vents that go up through the roof? Yes. Our team carries the necessary equipment to access and clean vents regardless of whether they exit through a side wall or the roof of your home.
• Why is my dryer getting so hot? If the top of your dryer is hot to the touch, it is a sign that heat is being trapped inside the machine due to poor airflow. This is a critical warning sign that your vent is clogged and needs immediate attention.
