Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Improperly Installed Dryer Vent
A proper installation of the dryer vent is essential for safety measure and prevention of fire. It is also important to see that the dryer vent works efficiently to keep the operating cost down. A properly installed dryer vent consists of a metal pipe, but mostly the white plastic pipes are used and these PVC pipes are found in abundance in general hardware stores. Periodical checking of the installed dryer vent is essential to find out if the vent is emitting smoke properly. Improperly installed vents may not discharge air properly and hence cause it to become blocked.

Thus, it is necessary in such scenarios to disconnect the duct from the dryer to remove the blockage in the path. Immediate inspection of blockage is a must. If a sediment of lint is noticed, the duct needs to be cleaned immediately in order to remove further blockage and stick to safety measures. The duct needs to be plugged back again to the outside vent before operating the same again. When was last time you have had the dryer vent cleaned? Debris and lint will build up in the clothes dryer duct and cause dryer to exhaust less than the optimum efficiency.

It creates hazardous conditions that include carbon monoxide intrusion as well as possibility for fires. If you have a gas powered clothes dryer and it isn't properly vented or the exhaust duct itself gets blocked by debris or lint, the carbon monoxide is forced back in the living space. The Certified Dryer Exhaust Professional Technician inspects, verifies and cleans that venting system is installed and sized rightly. For instance, the plastic transition ducts (or joining dryer to wall) must get replaced with the metal ducts as it's non-flammable, not like plastic. The annual exhaust vent inspections (known as the dryer exhaust inspections) are essential because of complex construction of homes today.

Dryers in the newer houses are generally located away from the outside walls in the bathrooms, hall closets and kitchens that is very convenient, however dangerous from the safety standpoint. Such locations mean the longer venting distances installed with more of bends. Thus, dryer ducts are hard to access as well as this length creates more of surface area where the lint will collect and birds and animals will hide. As per US Fire Administration, from 2002 to 2004 clothes dryers to be counted for over 15,600 reported fires, fifteen deaths and over 400 injuries yearly.

"Failure in cleaning" is one leading factor that contributes to the clothes dryer fires for residential buildings. Chimney Safety Institute recommends that the CSIA Certified Exhaust Technicians perform the exhaust duct inspections at yearly basis to make sure the efficient operation of clothes dryer system. The Certified Dryer Exhaust have passed the extensive exam on proper inspection as well as maintenance of the dryer vents, which includes the applicable codes and the standards relating to such systems. Besides safety considerations, yealy clothes dryer exhaust checks by CSIA Certified Dryer Technician will increase efficiency of the clothes dryer as well as decrease wear on the appliance saving you some money.
