When you’re doing laundry, the dryer vent provides a way for the heat, humidity, and odors from the drying process to be directed outdoors. A clogged dryer vent can not only lead to air quality issues, but it’s also a safety concern. Clogged dryer vents are one of the leading causes of residential fires in the United States.<\/p>\r\n

How Do Dryer Vents Affect Indoor Air Quality?<\/h2>\r\n

After months\u00a0of use, the moist, sticky lint generated while drying clothes can collect inside the dryer vent, causing it to clog. When this happens, the heat, humidity, and odors from the drying process will be redirected inside instead of escaping outdoors.<\/p>\r\n

This can make the air inside your home hot, humid, and almost smoky, with small dust and lint particles and\u00a0fumes from synthetic fabrics, fabric softeners, and detergents. As the air quality<\/a> in your home gets worse, it can be especially bothersome for anyone with allergies, asthma, or other breathing conditions.<\/p>\r\n

When Should You Schedule Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning?<\/h2>\r\n

Even if you are meticulous about cleaning the lint trap before each load of laundry, some lint will inevitably find its way into the dryer vent, accumulating on the interior. If too much lint is collected, it can pose a significant fire risk.<\/p>\r\n

According to the National Fire Protection Agency<\/a>, clogged dryer vents cause one out of three dryer fires, and annually, over 15,000 homes are damaged by fires related to washers and dryers.<\/p>\r\n

Ideally, your dryer vent should be cleaned once a year. Dryer vents are often long, with several elbows and fittings. To clean it properly, you need a professional with the right equipment. Specialized brushes are usually required, with long extensions driven by an electric motor, as well as a wet\/dry vacuum to take care of the mess.<\/p>\r\n

United Air Temp has all the tools to do the job properly, and we will be sure to leave the work area clean\u00a0after the job is done.<\/p>\r\n
