When homeowners think about indoor air quality, they often focus on air filters, HVAC systems, or household cleaners. One commonly overlooked factor is the dryer vent. A clogged or poorly maintained dryer vent can negatively affect indoor air quality and pose hidden health and safety risks.

Every time you run your dryer, it produces lint, moisture, and heat. While the lint trap captures some debris, a significant amount still enters the vent system. Over time, lint buildup restricts airflow and traps moisture, creating conditions that can affect indoor air quality. Excess moisture in dryer vents can contribute to mold growth, which can release spores into the air and exacerbate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions.

Blocked dryer vents can also force warm, humid air back into your laundry space or home. This excess humidity may cause musty odors, increased dust accumulation, and discomfort, especially during the warmer months. For households with children, seniors, or individuals with respiratory sensitivities, these conditions can be especially problematic.

Professional dryer-vent cleaning removes lint, dust, and debris from the entire vent system, not just the visible portion. This improves airflow, allows moisture to exit the home properly, and supports a cleaner, healthier indoor environment. As an added benefit, a clean dryer vent helps your dryer run more efficiently, reducing drying times and energy use.
