Clogged dryer vents are a major fire hazard. The lint that is possibly stuck inside the vent prevents the hot air from escaping as the dryer operates. Lint is very combustible and flammable. According to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) dryer vent fires make up 2,900 fires that are reported each year, five deaths, 100 injuries and 35 million dollars in property loss, stating that failure to clean the dryer and pipes was the leading cause.
When dryers are used constantly each day, the backup of lint can become incredibly dangerous. The USFA says if clothes are taking longer than normal to become dry then it is a signal the vent pipe may be clogged and ready for a professional cleaning, although it is suggested dryer vents are inspected and cleaned every three months. If the dryer has to work harder to get the clothes dry that add wear and tear on to the dry making it work harder increasing energy use. Over time, this will wear the machine down quicker, forcing a user to purchase a new upgrade or constantly seek repairs.
