Fairfax Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Explains Why Indoor Dryer Vents are a Bad Idea

All clothes dryers should be vented to the outdoors to prevent a number of hazards including dryer fires and carbon monoxide poisoning













Fairfax VA – Most dryer vent cleaning experts agree that indoor dryer vents are a poor choice. Inferior dryer vent systems including indoor dryer vents can allow excess heat and moisture into homes, leading to mold and mildew problems. Though indoor dryer vent systems are available, they are not adequate. Doug Bittner, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, only installs dryer ducts that lead outdoors.

When asked about using a dryer duct designed for indoor venting, the Wizard explains that one of the problems with indoor dryer vents is that they must be kept full of water to trap lint while the warm air filters into the room. They also have a duct made of flexible foil which can be accidently crushed, blocking air flow from the dryer and causing it to over heat. Like all fuel-burning appliances, gas dryers must be properly vented to the outdoors to emit gas byproducts like carbon monoxide.
