As a homeowner or business owner, it’s important to be aware of the warning signs that your dryer may be experiencing issues with its vent system. Signs such as excess lint buildup behind the dryer, mold and mildew growth, or overheating are all indicators of a clogged or obstructed dryer vent. These warning signs should be taken seriously. They can lead to dryer fires, carbon monoxide buildup, and mold growth.

Regular monitoring of your dryer’s performance can help you catch these warning signs early, and prompt you to schedule a professional dryer vent cleaning before any serious problems arise.
