Dryer vents in Texas provide an ideal shelter for birds and rodents, offering protection from predators and the unpredictable weather. While it may seem kind to offer a safe, dry spot for these animals, it's problematic due to the associated health and fire risks. Birds and rodents are known carriers of various diseases, and birds can also carry bird mites, which are notoriously hard to eliminate. Nests built by these animals in dryer vents can be challenging to remove and may completely block airflow. This blockage can result in extended drying times, increased wear and tear on your dryer, and even pose a fire hazard.
To prevent these issues, ensure your dryer vent is secure with bird and rodent-proof covers and regularly cleaned. This maintenance helps keep your dryer functioning efficiently and safely, extending its life and protecting your home from potential hazards. Proper care of your dryer vent is a crucial aspect of home safety in Texas. Don’t wait—schedule your dryer vent cleaning today and protect your home from these risks!

It's crucial to maintain the cavity where your dryer's lint screen is housed, as it plays an active role during drying cycles. For optimal performance, always clean this area before or after each load of laundry. Over time, lint can accumulate in this space, necessitating a thorough cleaning two to three times annually. Neglecting this maintenance can lead to the same issues caused by a clogged dryer vent, such as decreased efficiency and potential fire hazards. Although cleaning this cavity is generally straightforward, some dryer models are designed in a way that makes this task particularly challenging, even with the proper tools. Ensure regular maintenance of this area to significantly enhance your dryer's performance and longevity. Don't wait for problems to arise; take action now to keep your dryer running efficiently. For expert assistance, contact our professional cleaning service today and keep your household routine hassle-free.
When your dryer vent exits through the roof, it's crucial to ensure it has a "hood" or "cap" specifically designed for dryer vents. According to building codes, the vent termination must include a backdraft damper—a flap that opens during dryer operation and closes when the dryer is off. Importantly, screens should never be installed at the vent termination to prevent lint build-up, which can obstruct airflow. Incorrect installation of a generic vent hood by roofers can lead to various issues. These problems include water damage, reduced dryer efficiency, increased wear on components, and even the risk of a dryer fire. Proper installation of a dryer vent hood is essential for safety, optimal performance, and compliance with building codes. Always ensure your roof venting system meets these requirements to avoid costly repairs and hazards.

Many homes are outfitted with low-cost, plastic exterior vent fixtures that, while affordable, fall short in both efficiency and durability. These plastic vents corrode quickly, leading to deterioration and eventual breakage. Additionally, they often serve as easy entry points for birds and rodents, posing a significant nuisance and potential health hazard. At our company, we specialize in installing top-quality vent hoods designed specifically for dryer vents. Our vent hoods are constructed from durable steel and are powder-coated to resist corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance. Their sleek, low-profile design not only enhances efficiency but also adds a touch of aesthetic appeal to your home's exterior. Upgrade to our premium dryer vent hoods for a safer, more efficient, and visually appealing solution. Contact us today to schedule your installation and protect your home with our superior vent hoods. Don’t wait – enhance your home’s safety and appearance now!
While it is both unwise and against building codes to install a screen at a dryer vent termination, it’s a smart move to secure other types of vents, such as those for bathrooms, kitchens, and gas exhausts, to prevent birds from entering and nesting. These vents can easily become entry points for birds, leading to blockages and potential hazards in your home. By securing these vents, you not only keep birds out but also ensure the safety and efficiency of your ventilation system. Don’t wait for a problem to arise—take action now to secure your home. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help protect your home from unwanted bird invasions and ensure your vents are properly secured.
"Superior discovered our dryer vent wasn’t connected inside the wall and blowing lint between the floors. After much investigation, he installed a new dryer vent for us and took much care to protect our clothes in the closet from any mess. Our dryer actually dries clothes in one cycle now and my laundry time has cut in half!”

Many people blame their dryer’s inefficiency on the actual dryer, but most of the time it is their dryer vent that is causing the problem. We receive many referrals from dryer repairmen who get calls about broken dryers only to find that it is their vents that are clogged and their dryer is fine. Clogged vents don’t allow the hot air and moisture to escape the dryer, so your clothes don’t dry very well.
Cleaning your vents will most likely save you some money on your power bill since your dryer won’t have to expend as much energy and you won’t use as many cycles. Average savings are $18-24 per month. The dryer is one of the most costly appliances to operate.
The dryer vent can be cleaned from outside the house but it is much more effective if cleaned from the inside. If you prefer our technician not come inside please let us know and we will clean your vent from the outside.
It is helpful if you remove all clothing from the dryer and can remove anything on or around the dryer, so our technicians can have easy access to clean your vent as quickly and easily as possible.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends having your dryer vent cleaned out at least once per year. Superior believes that there are several factors to consider when determining how often you need your vents cleaned:
-
How often is your dryer used?
-
Is your dryer over 10 years old?
-
Is it full-sized or small stackable dryer?
-
Is your vent over 5 feet long?
-
Does your vent have several bends or elbow joints?
-
Do you have a bird guard covering your exhaust exit?
-
I always clean out my lint trap before I dry clothes, do I still need to have my vent cleaned?
While approximately 70% of the lint is caught in your dryer’s “lint trap/screen”–the remainder is blown through the dryer and ventilation tubing. Most of that wet, sticky lint gets stuck on the walls of the duct work and just continues to build up over time causing issues and does need to be cleaned.

If your dryer vent is short (6 inches – 1 foot) you can most likely clean it yourself fairly easily. If your vent is longer, home improvement stores do sell dryer vent cleaning equipment. We have had multiple customers tell us that they bought it and tried it themselves, spent hours on end attempting it but were unsuccessful in cleaning the vents. At Superior we have high quality equipment that can clean your vents in a very thorough and efficient manner, saving you time and big headache in the end.
The amount of time it takes us to do the job varies depending on how long your vent is, how bad the build up is and if we run into unexpected problems such as bird’s nests and disconnected vents. It typically around an hour to complete a job.
We have high quality equipment that allows us to do a superior job. We can first assess the build up with our special video camera that we stick into the actual duct work. We start the cleaning by attaching a “y-joint” to the dryer vent opening, which allows us to use a rotary brush and a powerful vacuum at the same time. The brush is attached to a high powered drill and suspended with flexible rods that span the length of your entire vent system. The drill causes the brush to spin very rapidly scraping the vent walls, removing and loosening lint. At the same time that we are brushing the vents clean we use a very high powered(3 motors) industrial vacuum to easily suck all of the lint out of the vents, thus removing the problem.
The dryer vent is a ventilation system that connects your dryer to the outside of the house. Your dryer blows hot air through your wet clothes to dry them, this hot air gets blown out of the house through the dryer vent, taking bits of lint with it.
A seemingly simple question, but we have discovered that there is a common misconception as to what the “dryer vent” actually is. Some people believe it is the lint trap that they clean out each time they dry their clothes and others think it is the hose that connects their dryer to the wall, both would be mistaken. Your dryer vent(also known as dryer exhaust duct) is the duct work and/or hosing that run from the dryer, through the wall(s), and to the vent hood located on the exterior of the home (usually on a side wall or on the roof).
