Consumer Alert – Dryer Vent Cleaning
Posted by Jill Winchel, Realtor at Century 21 Sunbelt
Keeping your dryer vent clean is important. When lint builds up in a dryer vent the dryer will not perform as it was intended and may cause a fire. It will also take more time to dry a load and cost more money. It is recommended that lint is removed from the trap after each load, although some still escapes and travels through the vent pipe. 
Here in Cape Coral, the majority of the homes have the vent installed from near the floor straight up through the attic and out the roof. This vent pipe could be 10-15 feet long. You will see the upside down J vent cap on rooftops. If moisture or debris gets in the vent it may not clear as intended.
Vents should be cleaned at least once a year. If you are purchasing a home and are unsure when the vent was last cleaned, go ahead and get it cleaned. A local company that you can call is Reliable Dryer Vent 239-687-6622. Consumer Alert – Dryer Vent Cleaning
