Hey Presto! We Pull a Live Rabbit Out of a Dryer!

So the phone rings late in the afternoon and this lady asks if this is Dryer Vent Cleaner … “Yes you have the right place, how can I help?”. She then went on to explain that she had a Burlington Appliance repair Company come out to look at her dryer, as it was taking a long time to dry her clothes. They took one look and saw what they thought was a dead rabbit and told her to call us. Do we remove “Dead rabbits from dryers” was the next question? Hmm having never encountered dead rabbits (mice, chipmunks, dead and live birds yes but never a rabbit) it was a tough one, however who else would rise to the challenge and help this lady in distress?

Replacing White Vinyl Dryer Vent

vinyl hose should not be used for dryers

Following a dryer fire in one of the adjacent townhouses Dryer Vent Cleaner were invited to inspect some of the 20 homes.

We inspected 6 of the homes and found all of them had long dryer vents over 30 feet and none of the owners knew that dryer vents ever needed cleaning through! These homes are 22 years old and had never had the dryer vents cleaned out. 3 of the homes had white vinyl connecting the dryer to the rest of the duct work.
