Annual dryer exhaust vent inspections (also known as dryer exhaust duct
inspections) are more necessary than ever before due to the complex construction of homes built
today. Newer homes tend to have dryers located away from an outside wall in bathrooms, kitchens and
in hall closets which is convenient, but potentially dangerous from a safety standpoint. These new
locations mean that dryers tend to be vented longer distances and vents are generally installed with
more bends to accommodate the extended path they must take through the home. As a result, dryer
ducts are harder to access and this additional length creates more places where lint can collect and
animals and birds can hide. Use of a dryer with a dirty vent can cause the dryer to run longer to
dry the same amount of clothes because the hot air being expelled cannot freely exit the vent.
Longer drying time takes more electricity and puts added stress on the appliance. |

If you're wondering why your clothes dryer is taking longer than usual
to finish a single load, there is a simple answer to that but it can have serious consequences. An
accumulation of lint in the dryer or the dryer vent pipe reduces the efficiency of the appliance and
makes it a fire hazard.
Clear Lake City residents who own clothes dryers should know about the dangerous combination of heat
and lint buildup. With the buildup of lint in the dryer or the exhaust vent, the airflow is reduced
which causes the appliance to work much harder. An inefficient dryer heats up a lot more, which can
then start a fire.
