Remove The Screen From Dryer Vent
If there are screens are in your dryer vent, this is because your home builder forgot to remove them. These are perfectly okay to have in a different kind of vent like a bathroom fan vent but not good for a dryer vent. That vent is where all the lint is escaping. If a dryer vent screen is present in the system the lint will not be able to escape. After a short period of time of collecting their it will create a blockage.

Hello, it’s Brandon with Planet duct air duct cleaning in Colorado Springs. I’m am going to talk to you about dryer vent cleaning, which is a service we complete often! One thing we find a lot is that there are screens in the top of your dryer vent that are preventing the lint from getting out which causes clogging and loss of airflow. We accumulate tons of these after a removal job! We’ve confiscated so many that I could literally build a small house out of them, so I wanted to educate our neighbors about the importance of removing dryer screens.
