Did You Know That Dirty Dryer Vents Are a Fire Hazard?
Clothes dryer fires aren’t something many homeowners are concerned about, but they’re actually responsible for a fair amount of injuries and property loss every year.
What causes these dryer fires? Well, the majority of them are caused by neglect or failure to clean the dryer vent. Most homeowners are diligent in the cleaning of the lint trap, but so much of the lint produced with each load of laundry goes into the vents.
Over time, especially if the dryer venting has a lot of twists and turns, lint can accumulate there, leading to restricted airflow and an overworked clothes dryer. When this happens, you may experience longer dry times or the need to run your dryer multiple times per load, which means wasted time and wasted energy.
But by far, the worst part of a clogged dryer vent is the fire and carbon monoxide risk it poses. You see, lint is flammable, and when the venting is clogged and airflow is restricted, the clothes dryer has to run hotter and for a longer period of time in order to dry your clothes. As lint is exposed to heat more frequently and for longer periods of time, it can ignite and spark a fire, which can rapidly spread to other parts of the home.
Additionally, clogs can end up slowing down the venting process of the carbon monoxide produced by the clothes dryer. Instead of exiting the vent, this poisonous gas can back flow into the home and make you and your loved ones sick, or worse.
