Dryer Vent Installation & Repair

Overview

A safe and efficient dryer vent system begins with professional dryer vent installation. Many problems we see stem from improper installation or use of unsuitable ventilation materials being installed. With Patriot Chimney, you’ll know that all materials and configurations are up to code and installed with the goal of improving safety and efficiency. 

Dryer vents that are damaged, leaking, or composed of unsuitable materials can be a fire hazard, source of mold, and/or simply energy drain. In order for heat and moisture to be properly vented outdoors, the dryer vent line must be uncompromised and operating efficiently. 

Damaged sections of dryer vent can often result in clogs or debris buildup, which in turn cause a host of dryer vent problems including increased risk of fire. Any leaks or gaps in a dryer vent line could mean that the heat, moisture, and possibly carbon monoxide are leaking back into the laundry area, commonly resulting in mold and mildew growth, and in extreme cases, carbon monoxide poisoning. 

Dryer Vent Rerouting

A dryer vent that is improperly installed can cause a lot of problems, including clogs and trapped moisture. Having a properly routed dryer vent system can not only prevent such issues, but can also save you energy, time, and money! 

Booster Fan Installation

A booster fan is recommended in dryer vent lines that are 35 ft or longer (without bends) in order to push heat and moisture throughout the entire line. A booster fan can greatly increase the efficiency of your dryer, saving you time and money.

Patriot Chimney’s Approach to Dryer Vents

Every company that services dryer vents will approach cleaning from a different angle. Here’s the five core beliefs that our dryer vent service is based on:

#1. Education

For our technicians and for you. During our time working with you, our goal is to help you understand your dryer’s system, things that are wrong with it, how the problems can be fixed, and how to keep the problems from happening in the future. Moreover, we’ll never send a crew to your home without a CSIA certified expert.

#2. Dedicated Project Managers

From the time you schedule work with us all the way through completion, you’ll have a dedicated project manager helping you along the way. Our project managers are your point of connection and the person you can turn to directly if you have any questions.

#3. Optimize for Performance & Safety

Our work on your dryer is designed to keep you and your family safe, while also keeping your system working in peak performance. Whether your fireplace is brand new or a century’s old statement piece, you can trust us to keep it running like it was on day one.

#4. Report in Natural Language

We won’t confuse you with a bunch of dryer jargon. We provide straight-forward reports that your family can easily understand. Plus, when your project manager reviews the report with you, he or she will be able to explain everything and answer any questions you may have. Besides, education is our #1 value.

#5. Have the Best People

When Patriot Chimney starts a new job, our goal is to set a new high score for service. We know that this isn’t a game, but we want to be the best. At the end of the day, we provide a service, and services are provided by people. From our project managers, to our technicians, to our customer service team, we invest heavily in recruiting and retaining the most-talented people around.

Our Full Cycle Process

Our process is built out of, and rooted in, our approach to dryer vents. You may be interested in how things work after you schedule work with us. We’ve broken it down into five steps. 

So, here’s how we do things:

Step 1: Learn

Before we start to work on your dryer, even before the inspection, we talk with you. This way your project manager can understand all of problems that you might be having. 

Step 2: Discovery

Once we’ve heard from you and listened to your concerns, we begin our investigation. Either way, we run a camera through your system so that we can get a top-to-bottom, inside-out understanding of what’s happening with your dryer. 

Step 3: Discuss:

At every move and every discovery, we want you to understand what is happening with your dryer vent. No surprises. Your project manager will explain all discoveries and action items you’ll want to address. 

Step 4: Improve

Once we’ve discovered what’s causing your problems with your dryer and your project manager discusses the action items with you, we schedule a time to work on your dryer to correct the problems you’ve been facing. Your project manager will help you and guide you through the work. We know that any home improvement projects, no matter how minor, can cause undue stress. So we want to limit that as much as possible. 

Step 5: Support

Once we’re done, our customer service team works to make sure you are happy with the work. We take our 100% customer satisfaction seriously and want you to be satisfied with our work for years to come. Any questions that  you have, you can feel free to call your project manager or our office and we’re always going to be happy to serve you as your go-to chimney experts. 

Pricing

We understand that prices for dryer vent services can be a headache all on it’s own. It can be complicated. That’s why Patriot Chimney’s pricing for dryer vent services is pretty straightforward. We charge a flat rate that varies depending on the material, measurements, and a few other factors. You don’t have to worry about hidden costs when you work with us.
