Why is Dryer Vent Cleaning Important?

Over time, dryer vents can become clogged with lint, dust, and other debris.

This buildup restricts airflow, causing your dryer to work harder and use more energy to dry your clothes. This not only increases your energy bills, but can also shorten the lifespan of your dryer.

However, the biggest concern with clogged dryer vents is the risk of fire. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, there are approximately 2,900 dryer fires reported each year. This unfortunately results in an estimated five deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property damage. The leading cause of these fires is the failure to clean dryer vents.
