The Solution
Have your dryer vent system cleaned and inspected yearly by a dryer vent cleaning professional. A standard cleaning will involve unhooking the dryer, cleaning the vent duct with special tools, and checking connections. A professional can also service all venting situations, including today's extremely long vent ducts. These ducts are especially susceptible to lint buildups.

So don't take a chance - put your family's safety in the hands of a professional. It will protect them against potential fire and save you money as well - two great reasons why you should think about your dryer vent.
