Dryer fires from dryer vents or ducts becoming backed up or clogged is common. The basic dryer vent maintenance required to keep your home safe is cleaning out the dryer vent. There are special tools and techniques used in cleaning dryer vents.
As dryer lint or other blockages build up the air flow decreases, and drying efficiency decreases, or clothes take longer to dry. Spending 2 or 3 times what you need to for anything is wasteful. Why pay for the energy to put a load of laundry through 2 or 3 times when once will do? The main reason clothes are slow to dry is because the dryer vent is clogged and needs to be cleaned out. Dryer vent cleaning will save you energy and money.
Dryer vent cleaning is more necessary and important than many people realize. The longer the dryer vent, the more resistance there is to the air flow and the more quickly lint will buildup.
Dryer fires from lint buildup or blockage is one of the most common causes of residential fires. Also with reduced air flow clothes take much longer to dry and that waists energy and money.
