Are Clogged Dryer Vents Reducing Your Home’s Safety?

Trusted Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Connecticut for Fire Safety

Why Dryer Vent Cleaning is Essential

A clogged dryer vent is more than an inconvenience—it’s a serious fire hazard. Lint buildup in your dryer vent system restricts airflow, forcing your electric dryer or gas dryer to work harder. This leads to longer drying times, excess energy bills, and increased fire risks inside your home.

At GMT Home Services, our professional dryer vent cleaning makes sure your vent line, dryer duct, and exterior vent are properly cleaned and free from dangerous obstructions.

What is Dryer Vent Cleaning

Warning Signs of a Clogged Dryer Vent

You may need a cleaning if you notice:

  • Clothes still damp after a normal drying cycle
  • A burning smell while the dryer runs
  • Dryer feels hot to the touch
  • Excess lint in the lint trap after one load
  • Dust, debris, or lint blowing out the exterior wall vent
  • Laundry room feels hotter than usual
  • Your dryer is taking longer than before to dry clothes

If you see these signs, call GMT Home Services right away to remove lint safely and prevent costly damage.

Everything looks fine on the surface, but lint is quietly collecting in the vent line, angle bends, and exterior wall vent. What you don’t see could be dangerous—lint buildup is a leading cause of dryer fires. With our specialized tools—vacuums, brushes, and drill-powered attachments—we remove lint safely from every part of your vent system, giving you peace of mind.

You’ve run the dryer twice, but clothes still come out damp.

The laundry room feels hotter than usual, and you’re wasting hours waiting for a single load to finish. In many cases, a clogged dryer vent is restricting airflow and forcing the dryer to overwork. Our team clears the blockage so you can dry clothes efficiently—no more endless laundry cycles.

FAQs

1. How often should dryer vents be cleaned?

Most experts, including the U.S. Fire Administration, recommend professional dryer vent cleaning once a year. Homes that do laundry daily may need cleaning more often.

2. What are the signs of a clogged dryer vent?

Warning signs include longer drying times, hot clothes, a burning smell, excess lint in the lint trap, or a hot-to-the-touch dryer.

3. Why is professional dryer vent cleaning important?

Professional cleaning removes hidden lint and debris from the vent line and duct work, reducing fire risks, lowering energy bills, and extending your dryer’s lifespan.

While a shop vac, brush kit, or leaf blower can remove some lint, they often miss deep clogs and angle bends. A trained technician ensures the job is done safely and thoroughly.

The dryer vent cleaning cost can vary depending on vent length, accessibility, and severity of buildup. Most homeowners find it an affordable way to prevent costly fire damage.

A clogged dryer vent traps heat and lint, which is a leading cause of home fires. It also forces your dryer to work harder, wasting energy and shortening its lifespan.

Yes. A properly cleaned vent system allows your dryer to work efficiently, so clothes dry faster, energy bills drop, and your dryer lasts longer.
