Why should I clean my dryer vent?

According to the National Fire Protection Agency, dryer vent cleaning should be conducted once every year to avoid a dryer fire. Cleaning your dryer ducting of lint can help prevent a dryer fire and free hot and moist air, improving your time to dry clothes. With roughly 16,000 appliance fires a year, your dryer may be overcompensating energy for the longer drying times and thus can overheat lint contained in your ducting.

Additionally, not cleaning your dryer duct or vent can damage your heating element that heats up your clothes and allows your clothes to dry. Do gas dryers emit carbon monoxide from the exhaust? When hydrocarbon fuels are burned, carbon monoxide is released. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that could be released into the home if your clogged dryer ducts are not cleaned; lint that is obstructing the airflow of your dryer can create pressure on your dryer hosing and create a tear. Call (916) 277-0952 to mitigate a dryer fire and get your ducting cleaned.

Misconceptions about your dryer's problems

The majority of people believe that cleaning your dryer's lint screen is the only preventative maintenance necessary to ensuring your dryer is running optimally. Lint screens unfortunately do not block all of the lint as a result of drying your clothes. However, particles of clothing and fabric accumulate within your ducting that is emitted from your dryer's exhaust airflow. Additionally, many believe that the long time to dry clothes is the dryer that is the issue, but more often it is clogged dryer ducting that is the culprit.

How do I know if my dryer duct is clogged?

There are several ways to tell if your dryer duct is clogged and needs cleaning:

• It's taking a long time to dry your clothes
• There is a good amount of debris or lint behind your dryer
• The top of your dryer or your laundry room is hot
• Limited exhaust flow coming from your vent outside
