Is Your Dryer Vent Putting Your Home at Risk?
Why Plastic and Vinyl Dryer Vent Ducts Are Dangerous
You might not realize it, but the material used in your dryer vent duct could be a ticking time bomb. In our service areas, we’ve found countless homes with outdated, unsafe dryer vent ducts made from white vinyl or other plastic materials. These materials are not just ineffective—they’re dangerous.
Highly Flammable: Plastic and vinyl ducts are incredibly flammable. Over time, they become brittle and can easily shred, especially if any cleaning tools are used. This increases the risk of a dryer fire, putting your home and loved ones in danger.
Prone to Damage: These materials are not designed to withstand the heat and lint buildup from your dryer. Attempting to clean them can cause tears or rips, leading to further complications.
Mold Growth Risks: When a dryer vent duct becomes ripped or disconnected, it may seem like your dryer is working better—temporarily. However, this is often the beginning of a much bigger problem: mold growth inside your walls. This not only damages your home but can also lead to serious health issues.
