Dryer Vent Safety Warning Signs: Things To Look Out For

• EXCESS LINT BEHIND DRYER
  If you find excess lint behind and around your dryer, it is an indication that your dryer vent system is not functioning properly or the exhaust has become detached from the dryer. DUCTZ technicians are trained to troubleshoot these problems.
• LONGER DRY TIMES
  If you notice that clothes are taking longer to dry than they used to, your dryer vent system could be the problem. When dryer vent systems become restricted due to lint build-up, an end to end cleaning will solve this problem.
• OVERHEAT SHUTOFF
  A dryer vent system that has an excess of lint build-up can trigger a dryer to auto shutdown due to overheating
• NO LINT OR WET LINT ON THE LINT SCREEN
  Lack of air flow will prevent clothes from drying completely and will not produce lint on the screen. Should you notice a lack of lint or wet lint on the screen, it is time for a dryer vent cleaning.
• EXCESS LINT ON CLOTHING
  If you notice an increase in lint on your clothing after the drying cycle, it could mean that the dryer vent is not working properly.
• LINT AROUND DOOR SEAL
  An increase of lint around the door seal may indicate a dryer venting issue.
• HOT DRYER & CLOTHING
  Excess heat from the dryer and overheated clothing are a symptom of a clogged dryer venting system.
