Most people do not think about where all the lint and hot air goes as tumbling laundry dries. The first thought is the lint trap, which most people know to clean after EVERY load; NO EXCEPTIONS! Now, let’s get closer acquainted with your dryer vent system to explain the anatomy of a dryer fire and how to prevent it.
The dryer vent system is responsible for “venting” hot air and moisture from your dryer to the vent outdoors. If your dryer is not vented outdoors, you could have a serious problem. All dryers should be vented outdoors, not in the attic or crawl space.
Depending on where the dryer is in your home, the path your dryer duct takes could be a long one. If your laundry room is on the second floor, in the center of your home, rather than on an outside wall, then your dryer vent system might be 20 – 30 feet long! This could be a problem because now your dryer works extra hard to force the hot air out.
Dust and Lint Accumulation
Consider what happens to the lint and dust that is getting pushed through the dryer vent system. Yes, the lint trap catches some, but only about 60%. The rest escapes into the dryer chassis and the dryer vent system. A little might make it to the outdoors, but unfortunately, most of the lint that escapes the lint screen ends up trapped in the dryer vent system. A little is no problem, but lint likes company, so more and more will grab on to the first pieces and accumulate until it blocks air flow.
Solid Lint formed by excess Moisture
If you are in a humid area or there are major temperature changes, moisture can start to seep into the dryer vent and mix with the lint. This is a lethal combination. Once dust and lint get wet and dry they become something similar to dried mud on the inside of your dryer vent. While dry lint can be brushed away, once it's wet and solidifies, it's a harder job.

Dryer vent cleaning is the only solution. Dryer vent cleaning is recommended annually. Larger families may need to clean dryer vents more often.
