Wizard recommends professional dryer vent installation by a qualified, licensed dryer exhaust technician. Though failure to

is the number one cause of dryer fires, poorly installed dryer vents also pose a threat.

Glen Mayfield, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (

, Many people use vinyl or flexible foil dryer vent kits, said Mayfield. These kits are available in home improvement stores and they are cheap and easy to install. The problem is, they are not safe for dryer exhaust. Some of these systems were actually designed for bathroom exhaust fans.

Glen advises his customers these inferior dryer vent systems can become a hazard. The vinyl or flexible foil ducts tend to sag, allowing lint to accumulate in the low spots. The corrugated tubing traps lint in the folds. The flexible foil tubing is easily crushed behind the dryer as the owner slides it closer to the wall. When airflow is restricted, heat and moisture cannot escape. As the dryer overworks to do its job, drying time increases, causing the dryer to use significantly more energy. Soon the dryer will overheat and throw a spark into the

where the flammable lint waits to be ignited.

Other common problems the Wizard finds when he inspects a dryer vent system include too long of a run, venting into the attic or crawl space, sections joined with screws, or an inferior dryer vent cover on the outside allowing bug and rodents access to the home.
