Excessive Moisture In Dryer In Mount Pleasant
My client today was very frustrated, he has had the Lowe’s repairman out on multiple occasions. The repairman has replaced multiple parts and yet the dryer is still taking too long to dry, often they are having to run it multiple times to get one load dry. Imagine what that is doing to their power bill as well.
However it only took me one look to figure out what the problem was. The exterior duct vent was jerry-rigged in one of the most awful ways I’ve ever seen. In fact they had taken the normal 4 inch duct and reduced it to 3 inches as well as adding an almost 90 degree turn to the duct work on the exterior.
There are two factors in how well your dryer will dry your clothes, the first is the heat your dryer produces. The second is how much air flow is going through the dryer. Without sufficient airflow, your dryer simply will not be able to remove the moisture from your laundry in an efficient manner.
What I did to resolve the problem was to remove the old exterior set up and replace it with a 4 inch flap cover which is the most effective way to let the dryer air out and keep any local critters from crawling in when the dryer is not in use.
If you’re having a similar issue, you might consider giving us a call. Chances are we can have your problem resolved same day just like we did for this client.
