Lint build up happens slowly and gradually, and is highly combustible material. Exhaust vents can also be blocked from the nests of small birds or other animals.

Why Do Dryer Vents Need To Be Cleaned?

Most think that as long as you clean the filter before each use, you are doing all the maintenance required. Actually, you should have your dryer, hose and vent cleaned out every six months to a year depending on use.  

There are the warning signs that your dryer and venting may be at a dangerous level:
  • Clothes take longer and longer to dry – over 35 – 40 minutes
  • Clothes don’t fully dry
  • Clothes are abnormally hot to the touch after the drying cycle
