Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Improperly Installed Dryer Vent

If you have a dryer vent and the installation is not correct, then this will cause problems. There are signs that the dryer vent is installed improperly if the dryer vent is too long or there are several twists and turns in the vent. These problems make drawing of the air through the vent very difficult which can cause the buildup of the lint. The dryer ducts should be as short as possible with a minimum number of twists or turns. The dryer vent should also be made of the proper materials. It will not be properly installed if you use a highly flammable, flimsy plastic vent or foil duct extenders. It should be made of rigid metals that resist crushing better than plastic or foil, it also keeps the duct run straighter which will allow the air and the lint to be carried out of the system. The use of metal is mandatory and is required by law.

It is also required that the dryer is not installed too close to the wall because it will fold the venting material between the wall and the dryer which means that airflow will be reduced and lint build up will be faster. It is the law that the venting should be going outside the house with a specially designed flap. Screen is not allowed because it will only trap the lint and clog. There should be a bird guard to keep the birds away and to prevent them from building nests inside the exhaust duct and the flap should not stick or close shut because it will cause problems in the airflow. To make sure that the dryer vent will be properly installed, it is better to hire and ask a professional vent technician or chimney sweep to do it.

You can do this type of installation work on your own but you should educate yourself properly about the installation process and safety codes. When installing a new dryer vent, you need to pay attention to the material of the item. Such vent needs to be made of hard metal materials that can resist a good amount of heat. Apart from this, you need to keep the vent clean on a regular interval so that the hot air cannot be trapped. Proper placement and maintenance of the vent is also essential. Lint can even get deposited in the vent over time. So, you have to clean it properly in order to keep up the functionality of the dryer vent. Also do the proper maintenance and inspection to avoid any kind of problems. You need to hire professional help and keep things in check, so that no problems occur in the future.
