dryer vent cleaning: Older Style Dryer Vents can be a Fire Hazard!
- 07/20/09 12:50 AM
Dryer vent cleaning and repair is recommended to remove lint build-up that reduces air-flow and causes your clothes dryer to work harder. If neglected, this could lead to a dryer fire.
An old style dryer vent system or one that is improperly installed can also create a problem. The old fashioned flexible foil pipes are no longer deemed safe for use of dryer exhaust venting. One problem with this type is that it is often crushed behind the dryer, blocking the heat and moisture from escaping. Also, this type is often installed as-is, without cutting it down to size.

dryer vent cleaning: Dryer Vent Installation Safety Codes
- 07/20/09 12:49 AM
Dryer vent installation companies recommend annual dryer vent cleaning and maintenance to prevent dryer fires and reduce energy bills. Failure to maintain the dryer vent system will result in higher energy bills and could lead to a dryer fire. Approximately 40 percent of the lint that is removed from your laundry escapes the lint screen and ends up trapped where it doesn't belong; around the dryer drum, on the motor or in your dryer ducts.

Too many people are still using flexible foil, plastic or vinyl venting, which is no longer up to code. … (0 comments)

dryer vent cleaning: Dryer Vent Installation Tips to Meet Safety Codes
- 07/20/09 12:48 AM
Dryer vent systems constructed of vinyl or flexible foil are not safe; this type of venting is really designed for use in bathroom exhaust fans. Dryer exhaust ducts must be constructed of rigid metal with smooth interiors to promote maximum air flow. Exhaust ducts should be connected with foil tape, not sheet metal screws which protrude to the inside, catching lint and causing dryer exhaust leaks.
Length of the Dryer Exhaust Duct
The length of dryer exhaust ducts should not exceed 25 feet from the back of the dryer to the vent outdoors. This recommendation applies to straight ducts; … (0 comments)
Almost every home has a hidden fire hazard; a clothes dryer! Actually, the clothes dryer isn't the real danger; the dryer vent is the main concern. Over time, lint builds up in the dryer vent system, blocking air flow and creating a fire hazard.
Professional dryer vent cleaning is recommended to remove the lint build-up and to be sure the dryer exhaust system meets current safety codes. Many homeowners like to do as much as they can, on their own, rather than paying for professional services.
The reason that restricted air-flow is a danger is that in addition to water being evaporated from wet clothes, the dryer vent system also removes lint which is highly flammable particles of clothing made of cotton and polyester. When lint builds up in the dryer exhaust duct it hinders the dryer's ability to expel heat and moisture from the dryer. As the lint accumulates in the … (0 comments)

A recent report of a home fire was caused by a bolt of lightening striking the dryer vent cover and traveling through the wall. This is an unlikely and rare occurrence. Your dryer is one of the most likely appliances to cause a fire with the most common cause being failure to clean the dryer vent system. Dryer lint-up is more likely to cause a fire than lightening.

Improper dryer exhaust ducts are also a fire hazard. Vinyl dryer exhaust ducts tend to sag, allowing flammable lint to build up. Flexible foil dryer exhaust ducts can be crushed behind the clothes dryer, trapping lint and restricting air flow.

Indoor dryer vents are inadequate and they require extra attention. They are supposed to be filled with water to trap the lint while the warm air goes into the room. This type of dryer vent also makes the air very damp which will lead to mold and mildew problems.
