Dangers of the clogged dryer vents

A clogged dryer can cause damage in several ways:

  • Creates a potential hazardous situation. Lint that clogs your dryer is extremely flammable and poses a serious fire hazard.
  • Increases electricity bill. Dryers work by removing moisture with hot air, and if something prevents the air from escaping, it will take a dryer additional cycles to dry clothes. Clogged dryer vents can use up to 30 percent more energy.
  • Poses danger of mold to your home environment. By removing moist, hot air, a clean and properly maintained dryer ensures that the moisture is expelled outdoors. If the moisture doesn’t escape properly, it can cause mold growth in your home.
  • Cuts down your dryer’s life cycle. If your dryer vent is clogged, in addition to using more energy, it also cuts its life span by running longer.
