The Risks of Blocked Dryer Vents

Appliance Performance

Appliance performance is something we all tend to take for granted. Modern appliances are built to last, and maintaining them properly is something that often gets overlooked as we handle obligations and all of the other things that come with busy lives. However, dryer vent cleaning isn’t something that should be taken for granted. When dryer vents become blocked, they pose a significant fire threat. Dirty, clogged dryer vents have even cost people their lives. If you notice that your clothes get extremely hot inside your dryer or the top of the dryer heats up while it’s running, you likely have a dryer vent blockage. Another indicator is if the dryer shuts down prematurely during cycles. It’s telling you that something is wrong.

Fire Hazard

Aside from the personal safety risks, a dryer vent can threaten the integrity of your home or business. Every year, homes, offices, stores, and other facilities in Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. are damaged by fires ultimately tied to clogged dryer vents. When too much lint builds up inside the vent, it’s easy for it to catch fire and threaten your home or building.

High Utility Costs

The performance of your appliances is also impacted by dirty vents. It takes your appliance longer to get the work done, and even then performance quality is lacking. Things don’t dry and you’ll have to run items through several cycles to get the results you want. Ultimately, it’s a bother and you typically end up paying more in utility costs.

Air Quality

Finally, clogged dryer vents can negatively affect your indoor air quality. Without proper airflow, it’s easy for mold to grow and spores to find their way into your property.

This way, we can fix any problems during your appointment, so you can immediately return. We work hard to make dryers safer and more energy-efficient.

Cleaning the dryer vents will remove any lint buildup.
The amount of air that can pass through a lint-filled dryer vent is reduced. Because of this, your dryer has to work harder and consume more energy. This results in higher utility costs and a more significant possibility of the appliance breaking down. It can be expensive to replace or repair appliances. By regularly cleaning and maintaining your dryer vent, you can extend the life of your clothes dryer.

  • Reduced Energy Bills Due to Dryer Vent Cleaning
    The amount of air that can pass through a clogged dryer vent is significantly reduced, which makes your dryer run longer. This wastes energy, which raises your electricity costs and places a great deal of risk on the breakdown of your appliance.

  • Fire Risks are Reduced by Cleaning the Dryer Vent
    Most house fires are started because the dryer vent hasn’t been cleaned. Your clothes dryer has a higher risk of starting a fire than your furnace, stove, and chimney. Longer drying cycles may cause the lint in the dryer vent to overheat. Your home could experience a dryer fire due to this accumulated lint igniting within the cabinet.

Here are a few indicators that it’s time to clean the dryer vent:

 

  • You observe a lint accumulation behind the dryer.
  • Your items will dry in a different number of cycles.
  • Your garments have a musty smell.
  • The dryer emits an unpleasant burning odor or is hot to the touch.

In most cases, the dryer is the source of the problem. However, if the dryer is still becoming hot and the clothes are not drying in a reasonable amount of time, say 45 minutes with a regular load, then it is time to clean the dryer vent.

 

A clogged dryer vent prevents hot air from escaping and traps moisture inside the dryer, making it difficult for garments to dry. We receive many recommendations from dryer maintenance specialists who have responded to inquiries about malfunctioning dryers only to realize that the problem lies in the vent. More problematic is the call from someone who buys a new dryer because they believe their old one is worn out, only to find out that the new dryer is just as clogged and defective as the old one.

 

Methods can differ from company to company, but most use long-reach devices that stir things up and some valuable tools that measure airflow. Only hire a company that uses a negative-pressure vacuum to clean the vents, as this will likely fail. Ask your expert how frequently they would suggest cleanings based on your lifestyle.

As easy as it seems, cleaning the dryer vent on your own is not something we recommend doing because it may very quickly become problematic. Air Duct and Beyond make use of high-quality equipment capable of cleaning your vents in a comprehensive and time-effective way. Before we certify something, we also test before and after the process using equipment that measures air speed and temperature.

If the venting from the dryer does not go outside the house, then all that moisture will be carried inside. This can lead to the development of mold and mildew, as well as the accumulation of condensation on the walls of your home. If there is too much moisture in the air, the wood in your house could decay.

Always begin by working with a reliable dryer vent service technician when your dryer vent requires cleaning. While there are instructions for cleaning a machine online, using substandard tools and techniques increases the risk of causing damage to your dryer vent system. Additionally, lint and debris can accumulate in dryer vents if not properly cleaned, leading to further dryer issues.

Hiring a qualified specialist may take a little longer, but professional cleaning is always safer and more efficient. Knowing that your dryer complies with industry maintenance guidelines will make you feel better.
