Dryer maintenance seems fairly easy — just clear the lint from the lint trap after every use. But what about your dryer vent? Over time, lint can accumulate here too. And if your vent isn’t properly cleaned, this accumulation can ignite and cause a fire.

A lint-clogged dryer vent is a serious matter. If you can’t recall the last time your dryer vent was inspected, then you’re definitely overdue for a clean-out. Consider the lint build-up in your dryer venting as flammable as tinder and, therefore, a potential fire hazard. Removing the lint from your dryer’s lint trap each time you dry a load of wet clothes isn’t enough. Having your dryer vent cleaned not only improves your dryer’s efficiency, it prevents catastrophic fires and loss of life.
