- Fire Safety: The U.S. Fire Administration reports that failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of home clothes dryer fires. Lint and other debris can build up in your dryer vent, reducing air flow to the dryer, backing up dryer exhaust gases, and creating a fire hazard.
- Energy Efficiency: Clogged dryer vents make dryers work harder to dry clothes, which can lead to increased energy costs. Regular vent cleaning ensures your dryers operate efficiently, saving on energy bills and reducing wear and tear on the appliances.
- Mold Prevention: Improperly vented dryers can lead to moisture buildup, which can cause mold and mildew problems in your properties. Regular cleaning helps prevent these issues, ensuring a healthier living environment for your residents.
- Extending Dryer Lifespan: Regular vent cleaning can extend the life of your dryers by preventing overheating and wear on components caused by restricted airflow.
- HOA’s should make dryer vent cleaning uniformly mandatory because apartments are conjoined. One unmaintained dryer vent could affect 8 other apartments!
