117 Pine Cones Found in Dryer Vent Cause Dryer to Take Ages to Dry

Earlier this year we had a call to a home where the dryer was taking 4 cycles to dry each load! The fact it was taking this long would have meant the electricity costs were through the roof! The dryer vent was missing all the Louvre’s so it was a nice place to store their winter supply of food and it kept warm whilst the dryer ran.

This was a tricky object to remove from the dryer duct that became a challenge due to the 25 foot run and it came out under an addition. 117 pine cones formed a solid wall and are just a bit too heavy to suck out using our vacuum system. Using the many tools we have at Dryer Vent Cleaner we were able to determine the best way to extract them. One, two or three at a time we were able to pull them out, and they just kept on coming until the final count was 117!
