Dryer Vent Measurements

At ASG Dryer Vent Cleaning, our skilled technicians perform a diagnostic inspection to assess the airflow and static pressure (back pressure) in your dryer vent system. During this process, we take measurements to ensure that your dryer vent is functioning properly. One of the measurements we take is airflow measurement. Low airflow in a dryer vent can be caused by a variety of factors, including improper vent connections or routing, lint buildup, wall caps, birds’ nests, or other blockages. This can lead to longer drying times, higher energy consumption, and an increase in lint buildup. Another measurement we take is static pressure measurement (back pressure). High static or back pressure in the dryer vent can reduce the amount of air allowed to escape the dryer during the drying cycle. This can result in decreased efficiency and excessive wear on clothing.
