Signs Your Vent Needs Cleaning
Any one of these is worth a check.
“Clothes take two cycles”
Lint and dust choke the airflow, so moist air can’t get out.
Cleaning usually brings drying time back to normal.
“Top of the dryer is hot”
Heat is trapped inside the dryer and the duct.
Stop using it and get the vent checked.
“Burning smell”
Lint near the heater or in the duct is getting too hot.
Turn the dryer off and call.
“Outside flap doesn’t open”
The cap is blocked by lint, a nest or a stuck flap.
We clear the cap and check the flap.
“Lint around the door or behind the dryer”
A crushed or loose transition hose is leaking lint.
We replace crushed foil hose with a rigid or semi-rigid one.
“Thermal fuse keeps blowing”
The dryer is overheating from poor airflow.
Clean the vent first, then replace the fuse.

Why Abilene Vents Clog Fast
West Texas adds dust to the lint.
🌪️ Dust & Haboobs
Blowing dust gets into outside caps and sticks to damp lint inside the duct.
🏠 Long Roof Runs
Many slab homes vent the dryer up through the roof. Long, vertical runs trap lint and are hard to reach.
🐦 Nests in the Cap
Birds and wasps like warm vent caps. A blocked cap can stop airflow completely.
🌞 Hot Summers
Laundry rooms already run hot. A clogged vent pushes the dryer even hotter.

Good to know
The leading cause of home dryer fires is failure to clean them. The NFPA advises removing lint from the vent pipe at least once a year, or sooner if drying takes longer. Source: NFPA dryer safety tips.
Dryer Vent Questions
How often should I clean my dryer vent?
Once a year for most homes. Twice a year for big families, long roof runs or after dust storms.
Can you clean roof vents?
Yes. We clean the run from inside, and clear the cap when it can be reached safely.
Is a clogged vent really a fire risk?
Yes. Lint burns easily, and a clogged vent traps heat. Cleaning the lint trap is not enough.
Will cleaning fix my slow dryer?
Often, yes. If it doesn’t, we check the heater, fuse and blower while we are there.
