Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryer vents are something that we use all the time - but never really think about. Every year multiple homes have fires that are caused by dryers, human life is lost, and millions of dollars in damage done. So what can be done to protect you and your home?

First of all, cleaning is the key. Many times on a home inspection I will notice that the dryer vent is dirty and someone will say "That needs to be cleaned!". Unfortunately, that is usually when we arrange to clean the vent - when it is already overly dirty. Make a maintenance schedule to clean your dyer vent every few months (depending on use).

Also, make sure that the dryer vent head is free of plants and other obstructions. Having a dryer that vents into a bush or under a deck does not help the situation.
