Clogged dryer vents are responsible for more house fires and carbon monoxide poisoning than anything else in the United States. An annual dryer vent cleaning service can avoid all these dangers. In addition to these risks, dirty and clogged dryer vents lead to mold growth, musty-smelling clothes, longer drying times, and ultimately a shorter overall life for your dryer.
It is recommended that you have a dryer vent cleaned annually.
What Is Dryer Vent Cleaning?
A service technician will pull your dryer out from the wall and disconnect the vent - that's the flexible silver tubing behind your dryer. In an ideal world, your washer and dryer are located next to an exterior wall, so the vent is short and cleaning is quick and painless.
In today's home, though, the washer and dryer are often put in more "convenient" areas in the middle of the house. This means the vent has to go up into the attic, sometimes taking sharp twists and turns before venting out into the side of the home. This makes the dryer vent cleaning job a bit longer as the entire length of the vent needs to be blown out. Such cases would require regular dryer vent cleaning, for there are more places for lint to become clogged.
