Prevent Fire and Improve Efficiency
Why You Should Clean Your Dryer Vents
Over time, lint, dust, and debris build up in your dryer vent, restricting airflow and increasing the risk of fire. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, thousands of dryer fires occur every year due to poor vent maintenance. Beyond safety, a clogged vent forces your dryer to work harder, increasing utility bills and shortening the appliance's lifespan. If you're noticing signs of overheating or reduced performance, it's time for a professional cleaning.
Homeowners often seek dryer vent cleaning when:
- Clothes take longer than one cycle to dry.
- The dryer feels unusually hot after use.
- There’s a burning smell while the dryer runs.
- It’s been more than a year since the last vent cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my dryer vent is clogged?
Signs include clothes taking too long to dry, a burning smell while the dryer runs, or excessive heat around the unit.
Can a dirty dryer vent really cause a fire?
Yes. Lint buildup is highly flammable. According to fire safety organizations, neglected dryer vents are one of the leading causes of house fires.
How often should I clean my dryer vent?
We recommend once a year for most homes, but homes with large families or frequent laundry use may need cleaning every 6–9 months.
Is dryer vent cleaning worth the cost?
Absolutely. It helps prevent fire, improves dryer efficiency, lowers energy bills, and extends the life of your dryer.
Can I clean my dryer vent myself?
Some lint traps are easy to access, but full vent cleaning often requires specialized tools to remove buildup from the entire venting system. A professional cleaning ensures it’s done thoroughly and safely.
