Each and every year, over 15,000 fires are caused due to lint build up inside the dryer and dryer vent. Lint, is extremely combustible, and needs to be cleaned from your lint trap after every load. However the lint trap only captures 40% of lint so 60% of lint is still gets past aiming to escape outside.
We recently received a call from a home owner in Mississauga expressing concerns after moving in to their home. The home inspector discovered the dryer was not vented outside but was just sat on the sofit with lint everywhere.There was no roof vent installed so this had to be added too.
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.
We have been in search for the perfect solution to keeping birds and critters out of the dryer vents we clean. The vent caps that are available in all stores are terrible, poor quality using plastic that breaks down after a few years to allow pest’s to move in. Dryer vent cleaner have for the past year been looking for better solutions to the poor products available in Home Depot, Rona, Canadian Tire and Home Hardware. Our bird proof dryer vent is exclusive to Dryer Vent Cleaner you will not see this vent anywhere else in Canada.
Yes there is and we are selling and installing them right here in Burlington and the surrounding areas. Our new vent cap has a double door system that makes it impossible for birds and critters to get in, they cannot hold one door up and then lift the second one.
Our pest proof dryer vent caps are made to last, they will not start to break down after a few years because we use a superior U/V stable polypropylene material that will still look like new in many years to come and does not turn brittle like the vent caps on the market right now.
Our bird proof vent cap actually saves you money! Have you ever felt how cold it can get inside your dryer? This is because cold air blows in through the louvered vent caps found on most homes thus lowering the temperature inside the home. The double door system prevents cold air blowing back in through the vent so .
With our bird poof vent the following features are there
When Closed Position (Not Running)
When Open Position (running)
The 3 or 4 louvres on most vents provide an easy entry to your warm vents for birds. After a few years they wear out or distort making it easy for the bird to use it’s beak and lift up the louvre to gain entry. Birds bring a lot of nesting material into the vent which can be a huge fire risk!
Choice of 3 Colors for Our Pest Proof Vent Cap
We have available our pest proof vents in the following colors – white, brown and tan. There are no other vents available in tan on the market!
