We can find things that cause carbon monoxide to leak into your home, such as a cracked flue liner, a chimney blockage, and problems with the chimney and the connector pipe.

This is a warning sign that your dryer vents could be obstructed. Longer drying times are an indication that airflow in your dryer vent is constricted. If your vent is blocked by lint, the air will stay in your dryer keeping your clothes hot and moist. A common problem that can cause your dryer to take twice as long to dry a load of laundry, overheating and a potential fire. One is that moisture can't escape, and so the dryer takes longer to dry your clothes. You'll notice that clothes are not completely dry at the end of a regular cycle.

Getting your dryer vent cleaned properly is an important piece of home maintenance and one that is hazardous to your home and your family if neglected. Lint and debris can build up in your clothes dryer duct causing your dryer to exhaust at less than optimum efficiency. This creates potentially hazardous conditions including carbon monoxide intrusion and the possibility for fires. Keeping your clothing dryer vents cleaned is an incredibly important part of your home maintenance.

Without routinely having your chimney swept, a buildup of soot can soon turn into creosote, which is flammable. When this ignites, you'll have a chimney fire. Many chimney fires that start this way can spread to the roof and home. Furnace flue systems also require cleaning, so it is a good idea to inspect and clean those venting systems at the same time as your chimney, stove or fireplace is being serviced. Cleaning your chimney removes dangerous creosote, improves draft and eliminates odors. The National Fire Protection Association recommends that chimneys, fireplaces and vents be inspected at least once a year and cleaned as necessary.
