Education is a vital part of the Wizard’s service as he advises consumers that most of the lint produced by tumbling laundry will not make it to the dryer vent outside. It will accumulate in the dryer and dryer duct, block air flow and prevent heat and moisture from escaping while the dryer labors harder and longer do its job. Lint is highly combustible. When the dryer vent system is clogged with lint, the dryer could malfunction, throw a spark and start a fire. This is why regular dryer vent cleaning service is recommended.

In addition to proper maintenance, it is important that the dryer vent system meet current safety codes. Sometimes a simple dryer vent repair will make it right; however, people who use vinyl, plastic and flexible foil dryer vent tubes need a new rigid metal dryer duct installed.
