The Warning Signs of a Clogged Vent (A Fire Hazard)


Your dryer is telling you it's clogged. Are you listening?

  • Sign #1: Long Drying Times. A 45-minute cycle now takes 90 minutes. This is the #1 sign the hot, moist air is trapped.
  • Sign #2: The Dryer is Hot to the Touch. The outside of the machine is dangerously hot because the heat has nowhere to go.
  • Sign #3: A "Burning" Smell. You smell a scorched odor when the dryer is running. This is the lint inside the vent starting to smolder.
  • Sign #4: Lint on the Outside Vent. You go outside and see the vent cap is caked with lint, or no air is coming out at all.

Why is This a Critical Fire Risk?


Your dryer is a combination of high heat and (flammable) lint. A clear vent pushes the heat and lint out. A clogged vent traps the heat and lint together, creating a tinderbox. This is how thousands of house fires start every year.

Cleaning your lint trap is not enough. The clog is in the long pipe in your wall.

  • We connect our high-powered vacuum to the vent.
  • We use flexible, rotating brushes that snake through the entire vent line, scrubbing it clean.
  • We clear the exterior vent cap.
  • We test the airflow to ensure it is clear, safe, and efficient.
