Clean Dryer Vent Exhaust Ducts Keep You Safe

By
A build-up of lint, hair and other types of debris can cause your dryer vent to become obstructed. This not only affects dryer performance (such as taking longer for your clothes to dry, or causing your clothes to smell funny), but can also introduce a safety hazard to your home. The potential for a fire to start becomes higher with an unclean vent, and, if you use a gas dryer, carbon monoxide can leak into your home.

It is important to schedule an annual dryer vent inspection with a professional. This inspection, better known as a dryer exhaust duct inspection, can help keep your dryer running smoothly and can keep you safe should a problem be discovered and need fixed. This inspection is especially important in newer homes, where dryers aren't always placed on an outside wall and ventilation pipes must travel longer distances to reach the open air.

You can schedule an examination through Dryer Vent Wizard, a leader in dryer vent installation, repair, and cleaning.
