5 Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Cleaning

A clogged dryer vent makes your dryer work harder, wastes energy, and creates a serious fire hazard — dryer fires cause an estimated 2,900 home fires per year according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Here are the 5 warning signs homeowners in Gainesville, Haymarket, and Bristow should watch for.

1. Clothes take more than one cycle to dry. 2. The dryer is hot to the touch on the outside. 3. You smell a burning odor during operation. 4. The laundry room feels humid when the dryer is running. 5. It's been over a year since the vent was cleaned.

If your dryer shows any of these signs, don't ignore it. Call Sameday Repairs at (703) 525-3522 for same-day dryer service.
