Over the last few decades, architects have begun to design laundry spaces with convenience in mind. As a consequence the laundry room has become more and more centrally located in the home. This has largely created the need for professional dryer vent cleaning, since most homeowners are not aware of the proper procedures for cleaning a dryer vent nor do they have adequate equipment to clean these longer vents. Instead of a vent running a few feet to the exterior, the modern vents may be ten times that--and behind finished spaces.
