SPOT THESE DRYER HAZARDS

Updated: 59 minutes ago



You need your dryer vent CLEANED if:


  • Your dryer is taking longer then 70 minutes to dry clothes.

  • The dryer gets increasingly hot while in operation (fire hazard).

  • Condensation starting to build up around the dryer while in operation.

  • The dryer cutting off mid-cycle.



You need your dryer vent REPAIRED or REPLACED if:


  • You have aluminum flex hose connected to the back of your dryer.

  • There are holes anywhere in your flex hose.

  • Your entire dryer vent (from the dryer to the exterior) is longer then 35 feet. Keep in mind that per CODE, every 90 degree bend adds 5 feet and every 45 degree bend adds 2.5 feet.

  • There are any seams that aren't taped.

  • There's a disconnect somewhere.

  • You have any plastic pipe/hose.

  • There are screws present anywhere in the vent pipe.



If you have aluminum flex hose, it is a fire hazard and is against code.
