Dirty and clogged dryer vents cause approximately 15000 fires a year. Some of todays home are designed with the clothes dryer centrally located in the home. This means the dryer vent needs to be longer. The longer the vent the more potential for problems. Signs of dryer vent problems are longer drying times for your clothes, excessive heat at the dryer or maybe an odd smell. Dryer vents should be checked and cleaned periodically by a professional. This time of year birds sometimes choose to build nest in dryer vents. Most dryer vent fires are preventable with routine maintenance.
