When it comes to home maintenance, dryer vent cleaning is often overlooked—but did you know that a clogged dryer vent is one of the leading causes of house fires in the U.S.? According to the U.S. Fire Administration, over 15,000 house fires are caused by lint buildup in dryer vents each year. In addition to the fire hazard, a clogged dryer vent reduces efficiency, increases energy bills, and shortens the lifespan of your dryer.
At Air Duct Vet, we are committed to protecting homes and businesses across the DMV area by offering professional dryer vent cleaning services. As a veteran-owned company, we take pride in serving our community with the same dedication and integrity we had while serving our country in the military.
The Dangers of a Clogged Dryer Vent
🔥 Fire Hazard
Lint is highly flammable, and when it accumulates in dryer vents, it restricts airflow, causing the dryer to overheat. This can ignite lint buildup and result in a devastating house fire. Regular cleaning removes lint and prevents potential fire risks.
⚡ Higher Energy Bills & Inefficiency
A clogged dryer vent forces your dryer to work harder, using more energy and taking longer to dry clothes. This increases utility costs and reduces the efficiency of your appliance. Cleaning your vents ensures your dryer operates at peak performance, saving you money.
🏠 Poor Indoor Air Quality
Blocked dryer vents can cause excess moisture buildup, leading to mold growth and poor air circulation inside your home. This can trigger allergies, respiratory issues, and musty odors. Keeping your dryer vent clean helps maintain a healthier indoor environment.
🛠️ Shortened Dryer Lifespan & Costly Repairs
When a dryer has to work harder due to restricted airflow, it puts strain on its internal components, leading to overheating, breakdowns, and expensive repairs. In many cases, homeowners end up replacing their dryer prematurely—all because of a neglected vent.
