What Causes a Clogged Dryer Vent?
A dryer vent becomes clogged when lint accumulates in the system and blocks the airflow. The ducts of a dryer vent system can become clogged in several ways. Longer vent runs tend to clog faster, especially at the end of the run where the airflow slows down. Lint can also accumulate in the ductwork's turns and curves. Additionally, if the transition hose connecting the back of the dryer to the ductwork is crushed, it can reduce airflow and lead to a clogged vent. Another potential cause is lint buildup on the termination vent located outside the house, which can also contribute to a clogged dryer vent.

According to the US Fire Administration, over 12,700 clothes dryer fires occur each year, leading to 15 fatalities, 300 injuries, and $88 million in property damage. The primary cause of these fires in residential buildings is “failure to clean.” A clean dryer vent not only reduces the risk of fires but also enhances energy efficiency, shortens drying time, and lowers utility expenses. ACS Restoration’s trained technicians will thoroughly clean both the interior and exterior of lengthy dryer vent ducts. Contact us for a free estimate and schedule your cleaning service online today.
