More than 80% of homes throughout the country have dryers. A dryer vent system is designed as a path for moisture, heat, and gas to escape the house or building. These systems can contain hidden hazards if they are not properly installed, maintained, cleaned, and repaired. Fire, mold growth, and damage to your health and clothing are just some of the risks associated with dryer vents that are clogged or set up incorrectly or with the wrong materials. If you have a clothes dryer in your home or business, it is important that you are familiar with the potential hazards and safety guidelines regarding dryer vents.
