Dangers of Clogged Dryer Vents
There are a lot of dangers that can come from having clogged dryer vents, including health and fire hazards that can be life threatening for all who live in the house. These dangers can include:
- Mold – Mold can grow by lint getting stuck that is not fully dry. This growth in the dryer vents can result in health risks for those living in the home as well as causing your clothes to smell after they are dried.
- Lint – A build up of lint can result in a fire or increased energy bills because your machine has to work harder to dry the clothes.
- Allergens – Allergens can be spread throughout the home by dust, pollen, and dander getting stuck in the vents. These allergens can become stuck to your clothes as well.
- Fires – The high heat used in dryers along with the buildup of dust and lint provides the perfect environment to spark a fire, risking the lives of you and your family.
Another downfall of having dirty dryer vents is that your drying time may be elongated. Accumulated lint can eventually block off your vent and take longer to dry your clothes. Your energy expenses may also increase due to the machine having to work harder to get the clothes dried. There may also be frustration that comes with always having smelly clothes when they are pulled from the dryer due to built up mold.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Services Questions & Answers
When should dryer vents be cleaned?
We recommend you have a professional deep clean your dryer vent every 1 to 2 years.
Depending on the size for your household and how many pets you have, you may be using your dryer more often and need additional cleanings to protect your home and appliances.
Are you insured and bonded?
Yes, we are a licensed contractor in the state of California, bonded and fully insured.
Do you guarantee your own work?
Absolutely. If there is ever any problem with our work, we will work with you to fix it as quickly as possible.
How long does a dryer vent cleaning service take?
A typical cleaning can be anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Roof dryer vents are more involved because of the location and the cap that must be removed, which may take longer to service.
We typically remove the dryer vent flexible hose/duct and clean out behind the dryer. We also test dryer performance with a wind meter before and after a cleaning to make sure the vent is completely clear.
Why should I hire a professional to clean my dryer vents?
Most DIY efforts lead to damage or complications because homeowners use the wrong equipment or poor technique. Many people get items stuck inside the dryer when trying to clean the vent.
Additionally, non-professionals won’t have wind meters to make sure dryer performance is improved. Despite your best efforts, you might actually be missing a lot of lint/debris or shoving it further into the dryer vent system.
What happens if I don’t get my dryer vents cleaned professionally?
Non-professionally cleaned vents most often pose fire hazards or seriously hinder your dryer from working optimally. Additionally, dryer vents can easily become homes to pests (including rats) or build up moisture over time, leading to leaks in your wall and roof.
Furthermore, junk caught in your dryer vent will harden over time. In extreme cases, this debris can become as hard as dried paper mache and make it difficult for even professionals to remove.
Should I get my dryer vent cleaned even if there doesn’t seem to be any issues?
Regular maintenance is critical from protecting your home and dryer from fire hazard and performance issues. Once every 1-2 years is ideal for most homes.
Is it really necessary to hire a professional with specialized tools? Can I just hire a handyman?
Professional dryer vent cleaners will have better tools and techniques than a typical handyman or homeowner. There is far less risk of property damage with a professional dryer vent cleaning service, and the job will be done far more effectively.
