The first photo shows the area behind the drum grille of a dryer in Atlanta, GA. When the grille was removed, a thick layer of burnt lint was packed against the back of the drum. This hidden buildup was the source of a persistent burning smell the homeowner had noticed whenever the dryer ran. It’s a spot most people never see, since lint that gets past the filter can collect behind the grille over time, and the heat from the dryer can scorch it.
The second photo shows the same area after BestVent Dryer Vent Cleaning removed the grille and cleaned out all of the burnt lint. With the buildup gone, the burning smell disappeared. Atlanta homeowners who notice a burning odor from their dryer can count on Best Vent for a thorough cleaning that goes beyond the vent line to find and fix the real source of the problem.
