Carbon monoxide also poses a risk, as clogged vents can lead this dangerous gas to re-enter your home’s air supply, as opposed to exiting through the vent. And since your dryer relies on heat to dry your clothes and lint is a flammable material, clogged dryer vents are also a fire hazard, although most dryers have several safety features that must fail in order for this to happen.

If it seems like you’re running your dryer for longer these days, your clothes are hotter to the touch than usual, there’s an odor every time you run your dryer, or a lot of lint seems to be accumulating near the vent connection, you may be overdue for a dryer vent cleaning.

There isn’t really a rule about how frequently dryer vents need to be cleaned, as it varies from dryer to dryer and family to family. The above symptoms of a clogged dryer vent can be good indicators, but it’s also a good idea to have an inspection performed by an experienced technician from time to time.

We’ll have an experienced technician sent out to your Dallas or Fort Worth area home to check your dryer vents for buildup and let you know whether or not it’s time to have the venting cleaned. Call or click and start saving time and money with fresh, clean dryer vents!
