Chances are if you’re reading this, you may not have any clue what to look for when hiring someone to clean your dryer vents. What type of company does this type of work and how can you tell if they will do a good job? HomeSafe Dryer Vent Cleaning Services can help you get an idea of how to find a dryer vent cleaner and choose a good one. Based on our expertise with Dallas dryer vent cleaning, we can offer a few things to look for when hiring a dryer vent cleaner. Experience First, you’ll want to find a company that specializes in dryer vents. Many companies offer dryer vent cleaning services, but there is a lot of value in the experience that comes with cleaning and repairing dryer vents all day, every day. In the Dallas and Fort Worth metro area, we have seen it all. We’ve come across problems with dryer vents that are most common and we’ve learned to fix them in the most efficient way. We’ve also come across uncommon problems that have given us the chance to troubleshoot so we will know what to do if we see the problem again. Fully insured & Guaranteed Work Ask your potential dryer vent cleaner if they are fully insured. This offers everyone optimal levels of safety and protection. It’s also important to know if they will guarantee their work, so if a problem comes up you will know it will be fixed without a hassle. At HomeSafe Dryer Vent Cleaning Services, all our work is guaranteed! The Company Will Explain Their Process in Advance Your dryer vent cleaning company should be able to explain their process to you in a way that is easy to understand. If the dryer vent extends or terminates on the roof, ask them if they will access the roof and if they charge extra for that. At HomeSafe we always check the roof if necessary to ensure the cleaning process is done properly and to confirm that the vent is routed safely and up to code. Experienced Technicians Who Are Not Paid on Commission It is important to know that the technician who cleans your dryer vent is knowledgeable. Ask how much experience their technicians have. You should also ask whether or not the technicians are paid on commission. During the dryer vent inspection and cleaning process, your technician may observe materials that are unsafe or inefficient. You will want to know that these suggestions are being made objectively, and not just to make a sale. Our technicians at HomeSafe are extremely knowledgeable and not paid on commission, so you can be sure that every suggestion made is in the best interest of the customer and their home. Now that you know what to look for in a dryer vent cleaning company, you can narrow it down to the most qualified providers in your area.

Moving is stressful and it's easy to get hung up on details when your to-do list is so long. Sometimes important safety concerns get overlooked because there is so much on your plate. We've got you covered with this summary of important safety tips! 1. Address Concerns From Your Home Inspection Note: If you're renting, be sure to do your own inspection upon move-in and document in both writing and pictures any issues that you see. Sometimes landlords will try to charge you for things that may have already been there. Review your home inspection that was completed during your home purchase. List unresolved deficiencies in order of importance. This may range from larger jobs like replacing your furnace or HVAC system, to installing solid exterior doors (for fire safety and insulation), to smaller concerns like improving insulation, and properly covering all exterior electrical outlets. Hire professionals as appropriate. 2. Test Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Having working smoke alarms is extremely important. Three out of every five fire deaths  occur in home without working smoke alarms. Test all the smoke alarms  and replace batteries as needed. Replace any smoke alarms that are over ten years old. If you are unsure, err on the side of caution and replace them as soon as you can. Test or install CO2 detectors. 3. Make a Fire Escape Plan Did you know that once your smoke alarm sounds, you likely only two minutes  to exit your home safely? That is why it is imperative to create an escape plan for your new house. Make sure you plan two exits for every room and that all of your windows and doors can open properly. Plan an outside meeting place where everyone should meet after they have exited the house. Then, practice your plan! 4. Get Your Dryer Vents Inspected and Cleaned (Call a Professional!) Many people don't realize the potential fire hazard that may be present in your dryer vents. Over time, lint and debris build up inside your dryer vent which restricts airflow. This buildup makes it easier for fires to start. There's no way to know if the previous homeowner of your new house performed regular maintenance of the vent system until it is thoroughly inspected. You'll want an in-depth inspection which goes beyond what is typically included in the inspection you had during the home buying process. Look for a reliable cleaning service in your area who specializes dryer vent maintenance.  They will have the proper equipment and training to identify any possible hazards along with your cleaning. Not only will your new home be safer, but you'll save money on utility bills, too! HomeSafe Dryer Vent Specialists is a trusted provider in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex area that offers dryer vent cleaning  and other services. If you live near the DFW area, schedule an appointment today . 5. Know Where Your Circuit Breaker and Water Shut-off Valve Are In the event of power outages and emergencies, you'll want to know where your shut-off valves  and circuit breaker  are located. These locations are likely identified in your home inspection report. After you familiarize yourself with the location of the water shut-off valve, test the valve by turning it off to ensure it's working correctly. Test and label your breaker controls if they are not already identified for you. These are things you won't want to be figuring out in the middle of an emergency and will help keep your family as safe as possible. There is so much to do after you move into a new home that adding more to your list may seem too difficult. But the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family is safe is well worth it. Getting these tasks done and out of your way will reduce your stress and give you the freedom to move on to the fun stuff. Enjoy your new home and stay safe!  Images courtesy of the U.S. Fire Administration .

Did you know your dryer vent can get clogged with lint and needs to be cleaned out for your dryer to work properly? How do you know if your dryer vent needs to be cleaned if you can't see the inside of it? We will let you in on the # 1 sign that your dryer vent needs to be cleaned out today! Laundry Taking Longer To Dry Is The # 1 Sign Your Dryer Vent Needs To Be Cleaned! Did your dryer used to dry clothes much faster than it does now? Does it take more than 40 minutes to dry one load of laundry? Did you move to a new house and now your dryer doesn't work as well? Did you buy a new dryer and it still takes forever to dry your laundry? Does your dryer keep shutting off because of overheating? Extended drying times is THE telltale sign that your dryer isn't getting good airflow and needs to be cleaned out. It shouldn't take more than 40 minutes to dry a load of laundry. Who really has time to keep drying the same load of laundry over and over again because it's never dry after one cycle. Dirty dryer vents are not only a pain that causes laundry to take longer, but they are also a fire hazard! If you own a newer, fancier dryer it will shut off if it gets too hot, the lack of airflow causes it to overheat, and in order to prevent a fire your dryer just shuts off. If you are experiencing longer than normal dry times don't wait! You have better things to do with your time than drying the same load of laundry over and over again and you definitely don't want a dryer fire to happen in your home! We can get you drying faster and safer guaranteed!

From start to finish, this was the most seamless and painless process. Mone was fantastic at helping me get on their books - they were able to get me in the next day! The day of the appointment, James and Justin called me about 30 minutes before their arrival to give me a heads up, which I appreciated. Once they arrived, Justin and James did a comprehensive inspection. I knew going into the inspection that I needed to have a new exterior vent installed in addition to a cleaning. James and Justin found a couple other things that needed to be addressed and made sure to clearly explain why additional items needed to be replaced. I was presented a clear and concise estimate of the work and didn't feel pressured at all. I agreed to the estimate and they did the work immediately! They were efficient and completed the job perfectly! I really appreciated the HomeSafe team helping me get my dryer vent cleaned and a new exterior vent installed. I had been without a working dryer for a while and they got everything resolved in a quick visit! I can't recommend this company enough! I felt taken care of every step of the way and their team is exceptional!”   Find the review on google here: https://g.co/kgs/mNZmVLi

Laundry day may not be everyone's favorite chore, but it's a necessary one to keep our clothes looking great and feeling fresh. Whether you're a laundry pro or just getting started, these laundry tips will help you achieve cleaner, fresher, and longer-lasting clothes. 1. Sort Smartly The first step to successful laundry is proper sorting. Separate your laundry into three main categories: whites, darks, and colors. This prevents color bleeding and ensures each load gets the right treatment. 2. Check Labels Before tossing clothes into the washer, take a quick look at the care labels. They provide essential information about water temperature, washing cycles, and drying instructions. Following these guidelines will help extend the life of your garments. 3. Measure Detergent Using too much detergent can lead to residue buildup and make your clothes feel less fresh. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the right amount of detergent. For high-efficiency machines, use HE detergent. 4. Mind the Dryer If you use a dryer, clean the lint filter after each load to maintain efficiency and reduce fire risks. Use the appropriate heat setting for your garments—low heat for delicates, medium for most items, and high heat for heavy fabrics. 5. Fold or Hang Immediately Take clothes out of the dryer or off the line promptly to minimize wrinkles. Fold or hang them immediately to keep them looking neat. 6. Clean Your Washer Your washing machine needs cleaning too! Run an empty cycle with vinegar or a specialized washer cleaner to prevent mold and mildew buildup. 7. Avoid Overloading Overloading the washer or dryer can lead to uneven cleaning and longer drying times. Follow the machine's capacity recommendations. 8. Rotate Your Wardrobe Give your favorite pieces a break by rotating your wardrobe. This reduces wear and tear on specific items, extending their lifespan. 9. Empty Pockets Check pockets for loose items like coins, keys, or tissues. These can cause damage to both your clothes and the machine. 10. Establish a Laundry Routine Create a regular laundry schedule to avoid getting overwhelmed by piles of dirty clothes. This makes the process more manageable and less time-consuming. By incorporating these laundry tips into your routine, you'll not only keep your clothes looking and smelling fresh but also extend their lifespan. We also have tons of tips on how to extend the life of your dryer and keep your clothes drying efficiently and safely. Along with cleaning the lint filter after each use, you should also be getting your dryer vent system cleaned regularly. When drying clothes, the water and fibers that are in your dryer load need to exit somewhere. Over time, buildup in the pipes of your dryer vent system can become clogged, reducing your dryer's efficiency as well as presenting a potential safety hazard.

Schedule online to save 10% off your cleaning.  Happy laundering!
