Dryer vent cleaning and maintenance is an inexpensive, preventative measure that all Homeowners should invest in. The lint within the dryer and the dryer vent is extremely flammable and if not removed from the ducting vent on a regular basis can catch fire and cause a fire in the home. Signs you may need a dryer vent cleaning include, but are not limited to, if you need to add additional drying time to heavier loads, such as towels or jeans or if your dryer is located in a separate ‘laundry room’ and there is moisture buildup on the walls when running the dryer. This indicates that the heated dryer air is not being vented outside as it is supposed to be, most likely due to a blockage in the line.
