What Clogs Your Dryer Vent

Heating and cooling site Comfortable Home Systems recently published a blog post outlining five different conditions that can cause your dryer vent to become clogged. These include a long, winding duct run, animals shacking up in your vent hood, a crushed or kinked flex hose, an incorrect vent hood being used, and condensation with the conduit duct. From the article: A clean, unobstructed dryer vent improves the safety and efficiency of your dryer. As the dryer vent becomes obstructed and filled with lint, drying time increases and causes the dryer itself to overheat. Looking to have your own dryer vent taken care of?
