5 Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Cleaning Right Now

Most homeowners do not think about their dryer vent until something goes wrong. But your dryer is constantly telling you when it needs help. Here are 5 clear signs: 1. Clothes take more than one cycle to dry completely. 2. The outside of your dryer feels unusually hot during operation. 3. You notice a burning or musty smell when the dryer is running. 4. The laundry room becomes very humid or smells damp. 5. It has been more than a year since your last cleaning. If you notice any of these signs, schedule a professional cleaning right away. The cost is minimal compared to the risk of a fire or a $1,500 dryer replacement.
