Lint Build-up in Dryer Exhaust Ducts

The lint screen in your dryer traps only some of the lint that is removed from your laundry. It is estimated that about 40% of the lint escapes the lint screen, ending up in the dryer exhaust duct where it is left to travel to reach the outside vent. The dryer duct is responsible for removing heat and moisture from your laundry, but this hot, moist lint sticks to the sides of the vent tube where it is left to dry and harden. As it continues to build up your dryer duct opening gets smaller and smaller until it completely blocks the flow of air. The pros at columbuscarpetcleaning.net recommend having your dryer ducts cleaned regularly.

A Growing Fire Hazard

As the lint builds up in the dryer ducts over time, the air flow is restricted and overheating can result. Lint is highly flammable and provides fuel for a rapidly spreading fire. According to the U.S. Fire Administration (Division of U.S. Department of Homeland Security), clothes dryers were involved in an estimated 15,600 U.S. structure fires, fifteen deaths, 400 injuries and $99 million in direct property damage, annually, between 2002-2004.
