Lint buildup in your dryer vent is a hidden fire hazard you might not think about often. But clogged vents are a leading cause of house fires, and taking steps to prevent them is crucial.
While you may imagine cleaning the vent every few years is sufficient, experts recommend a more frequent schedule. Lint accumulates faster than you might expect, and a thorough cleaning once a year, or even more often depending on usage, is vital.
When lint clogs the vent, it traps hot air inside the dryer. This overheating can damage the appliance and, more importantly, ignite the trapped lint. The resulting fire can spread quickly through walls and into the rest of your home. Taking the time to have your dryer vent cleaned regularly is a small investment that offers a big return – peace of mind knowing your family and home are safe from a preventable fire. Don’t wait for a warning sign like longer drying times or burning smells. Schedule a cleaning to ensure your dryer is operating safely and efficiently.
