Dryer Vent Clogs

Do you know where your dryer vent terminates?  Many may be surprised to learn terminations through the roof such as the one pictured above are very common throughout our area.  Dryer vent terminations are equipped with weather flaps in order to prevent energy loss and/or pest access, but when screens are added, clogs and increased risk of fire result. Thousands of fires associated with dryers are reported annually.  If  you have noticed lint built up on the wall behind your dryer, inefficient dryer operation or longer drying times then it's time to take a look at the lint within your dryer exhaust for possible clogs, especially at the termination. Use extreme caution when working on roofs or employ the service of a qualified professional.

  2. Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my cousin were just preparing to do a little research about this. We got a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such wonderful info being shared freely out there. Tuxedo for men
