Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Lint Clogged Dryer Vent

A lint clogged dryer vent is a ticking time bomb because it is a fire hazard that can cause a house fire. Lint and other dirt can build up inside the dryer vent and reduce air flow to the dryer and when it happens, it backs up dyer exhaust gases which are dangerous. Cleaning the dryer vent regularly will reduce the danger of having a house fire and there are ways to detect if the dryer vent needs cleaning.

The first sign that the dryer vent needs cleaning is if the dryer is very hot to the touch, this means that the vent is not properly exhausting. Of course if the system is hot, it can cause the heating element and blower in the dryer to wear out faster and wastes energy as well. You will also notice that there is a burning smell because of the lint, which is highly flammable, that builds up in the exhaust tube or into the lint trap and even in the casing. If your dryer gets too hot, stop using it immediately and have it inspected. If you already cleaned the dryer vent but is still experiencing the same issue, it means that it is beyond cleaning and it needs to be rebuilt or repaired. Other signs include debris within the outside dryer vent opening and excessive heat in the room in which the dryer is being used. Also, if a large amount of lint accumulates in the lint trap of the dryer during use and there is noticeable lint and debris around the lint filter.

Once you come to know that something is not right, then you should look for some professional help. A chimney sweep can get certified in cleaning dryers just as they can get certified to clean chimneys and most have both certifications. It is advisable to leave the cleaning to the professionals and do not attempt to clean it by yourself. Even if you think that the dryer is fine to use again because you already removed the lint, still ask for a professional to inspect it. It will be safer that way, and safety should be your main priority to avoid any kind of fire hazard.

Cleaning up the dryer vent can restore its peak performance, which will safe you on your energy bill when running the dryer. When it works properly, it delivers the best and is most efficient. Depositing lint in the dryer is part of the process of drying clothes so it's really important that you treat it like a big issue, as it can trigger house fire and you really don't know when this will happen. Fires can also happen when you have a bent or crimped hose, so make sure that you put the dryer back carefully after moving it to clean out the hose.

There are also some other factors like condensation, pests inside the ducts, and the improper use of your dryer (such as overstuffing it and not cleaning out the lint tray) that play a great part in the development of lint. The types of materials that you dry also play a great role in the development of lint such as cotton. It is always important to keep the dryer clean on a regular interval. You can detach the dryer from the vent and can start the cleaning job yourself or you can go hire a professional chimney sweep to accomplish this task for you.
