Did You Know That A Clogged Dryer Vent Is Dangerous?
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 15,000 fires are started every year by dryers. Lint and other harmful debris can build up in your vents, reducing air flow, backing up dryer exhaust gases and creating a fire hazard.
Protect Your Family & Home
Your dryer is designed to get rid of the heat and moisture it builds up while working. If that heat gets trapped, it forces your unit to drastically overheat and work itself harder without actually drying your clothes. This excess heat is what can lead to a dangerous fire.
What Are The Warning Signs?
- Your clothing feels damp
- Your clothes are extremely hot
- Your clothes begin to noticeably fade and wear
- Your energy bill is unusually high
Common Problems
More often than not, your dryer is pushed as close to the wall as possible. While creating a flush look and aesthetic appeal, this instantly slows the flow of air and creates a pocket for lint to gather. This can be remedied by ensuring your transition duct is the proper length and within approved regulations.
What To Look For
- Lint or debris around your vent connector
- Lint or debris around your outside vent opening
- Unusual noises while the unit is working
