Have you had your dryer vent cleaned lately? If your answer is no, you should consider having it done ASAP. That lint that is building up in your dryer vent can start a fire, endangering your home and family. Yes, your home actually has a better chance of catching on fire from a lint filled dryer vent than an obstructed chimney! 

The blockages that may exist in your dryer vent are not from the trap that you routinely clean out but rather, a build up of lint along the dryer’s ductwork leading to your home’s exterior. Because we can’t see the inside of the ductwork, it often is forgotten but should be cleaned annually.

Often times, people don’t realize there is a blockage until it is too late. This is a common mistake that can cause loss of personal property or even a life by a fire caused by lint build up.
