Dryer lint is the major culprit that hinders dryer performance and leads to hazardous conditions but birds, bees and rodents can also cause problems
Middletown CT – The Middletown Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard says his customers are often surprised when he finds small animals nesting in their dryer vent. Raccoons, mice and other small animals find the dryer vent opening warm and inviting as they settle in for the winter. From there, they can create access to the rest of the home as well. The Wizard has also found bird and bee nests in a dryer duct.
Don Brusseau is one of three Wizards in the State of Connecticut who urges homeowners to have a dryer vent inspection and service to ensure dryer safety. Dryer vent cleaning is the number one way to prevent a dryer related fire. Lint will accumulate in any dryer vent system and even the very best dryer vent system installed by the Wizard will require maintenance.
Lint build up is not the only culprit that restricts air flow and hinders dryer performance. According to the Wizard (http://www.connecticutt.dryerventcleaningnow.com/), small animals can also be a problem as temperatures drop. The dryer vent opening on the outside of the home is a warm, inviting place for them to bring in their nesting materials and set up housekeeping for the winter. The nesting materials can be just as flammable as the lint, adding more fuel to generate a rapidly spreading fire if the dryer should overheat or throw a spark.
With Summer approaching, birds and bees have been known to build their nest inside the dryer vent opening. The Wizard can install a bug-free dryer vent to eliminate this problem and promote better dryer performance.
