Your House Could Be Next: Dryer Vent Fires Are More Common Than You Think

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, clogged dryer vents cause thousands of house fires each year. These fires lead to millions in property damage, injuries, and sometimes fatalities. Many homeowners don’t realize the importance of regular dryer vent cleaning, but with simple maintenance, dryer fires are entirely preventable.

Real Risks of Dryer Vent Fires

When lint and debris clog your dryer vent, they block airflow and cause your dryer to overheat. This intense heat can easily ignite the trapped lint, resulting in a rapidly spreading fire. These fires can reach other parts of the house within minutes, making them particularly dangerous.

Warning Signs You’re at Risk

If you notice longer drying times, excessive lint around the dryer, or unusual heat, these could be signs of a clogged vent that needs immediate attention.
