Should dryer vents be straight?

• <div><p>Your dryer vent hose should be as straight as you can possibly get it. A straight vent means less lint buildup in the hose. If the hose has a lot of bends and turns, it’s much easier and much more likely for lint to get stuck along the line, meaning you’ll have to clean it out a lot more often to decrease the risk of a total blockage or a fire. </p></div>

Q: How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned?

• <div><p>You should have your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-common-dryer-vent-cleaning-questions.htm">dryer vent cleaned</a> by a professional at least <b>once per year</b>. Over time, lint and other debris from your laundry get caught throughout the vent, causing a few different issues. A less severe problem caused by a clogged dryer vent is extended drying time for your clothes, which increases energy costs. More importantly, lint in a clogged dryer vent can easily catch fire, putting your household members and your home at significant risk. Keep in mind that decades-old dryer vent systems may need increased cleaning, so plan to complete this task twice per year.</p></div>

Q: Where is the backdraft damper located?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll find the backdraft damper near the top of the range hood (where it connects to the ductwork). However, some range hoods also have a second damper, which is located close to the roof or exterior wall where the ductwork ends. If you don&rsquo;t see a damper in either of these places, you might not have one.</p></div>

Q: How can I lower the humidity in my house fast?

• <div><p>To lower humidity quickly, run a dehumidifier or your home's air conditioner or turn on exhaust fans to extract moisture. These methods can quickly and effectively bring your home's humidity levels to a comfortable condition. However, you should consistently practice humidity-reducing tasks to maintain proper indoor humidity levels.</p></div>

Q: How often should you clean your dryer lint trap?

• <div><p>You should clear your dryer lint trap after every cycle, but a deeper clean is needing only one a year. Failure to clear your lint trap regularly results in lint building up over time, making it harder to clean and more expensive. </p></div>
