Safe Dryers

Jan 2nd, 2022

It was great working with Saul and his crew. They helped us with two dryer vent cleaning jobs and did great work. They showed up a day after I first spoke with them, arrived on time, and finished the job quickly. Saul even helped me with an issue that wasn't part of the cleaning which I really appreciated. We'll definitely work with them again.

Saul came out and inspected my duct and found that my dryer hose had been improperly installed by another business. He fixed it an also pointed out another issue I will need to bring up with the installer. He is very nice and professional and honest. I would definitely recommend him and use his services again!

Saul and his assistant are great. They're happy, skillful, knowledgeable, plus they enjoy doing their work so it's a pleasure to have them around the house. Yesterday they cleaned out our dryer vent and found a few burned/melted areas - so we had a growing fire hazard we didn't know about. They put in new venting to make it safe again, and had ideas for rerouting the vent tubes;  plus additional ideas for altering the closet doors to make the washer/dryer fit inside without our having to smash the unit back toward the wall (which dangerously bends the vent). I highly recommend Saul and Safe Dryers - a wonderful company.

Better call Saul!Shout out to Safe Dryers, 303-593-0698. Here's the short version if you don't want to read the full story:  Started out well:  (easy to schedule), went well:  (fixed my issues,)  ended well:  (no add on price games).     Saul did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it.  Long version and suggested reading, since this might apply to you:  a couple days ago,  I smelled something burning while running our dryer.  I turned it off immediately, (thank goodness we were home!).  Called a repair guy.  He came out, he showed me where the heating element had warped and shorted out.  He explained this type of thing can be caused by backed up lint.  So,  called Saul at Safe Dryers.  He thoroughly cleaned the ductwork from the wall at the dryer,  replaced the flex duct that runs from dryer to wall.  But here's the part you need to pay attention to:  we had our roof redone after the hail storm a while back, and the roofers replaced all the roof jacks, including the one that vents the dryer.  Now, a lot of homes don't vent dryers thru the roof, but our does.  So, the crew apparently was not informed to remove the screen from the jack, (which actually is the code for dryer roof vents.)  Here's the code::   Exhaust termination shall be equipped with a backdraft damper, and screens shall not be installed at duct termination (IRC M1502.3)."So, as you can see in the pictures, the vent was completely blocked.  Hence the fire hazard, and the narrowly averted disaster.  My dryer repair bill, which will top $400, was likely caused by the failure of the roofing company to comply with code.I now have been told by both the appliance repair person and Safe Dryers, that this is not uncommon at all, in fact, they see it every day.  The picture I attached shows the standard roof jack, with screen intact, which is fine for venting bathrooms, etc, but NOT for your dryer, because, as you can see from the pictures I took of the screen after Saul removed it, it is completely clogged with lint.It's imperative to REMOVE the screen from the jack if its for a dryer vent, as it becomes a fire hazard pretty darn quick when it blocks up.  So, Saul, at Safe Dryers, checks this from the ground with binoc's to see if he sees a screen and the resultant blocked lint, which in our case, pretty much almost caused a fire.  Then he removed it.  Thank you Saul!Conclusion:  better call Saul!
