Q: What are the costs associated with dryer vent cleaning?

• <div><p>Expect costs between $100 and $200, depending on the vent system's complexity and accessibility and regional pricing differences.</p></div>

Q: Can a wet dryer vent grow mold?

• <div><p>Yes, mold can grow in a wet dryer vent. Mold is a type of fungi, and fungi thrive in warm, moist conditions. Dryer vents need to be aired out so heat can escape and moisture can dry. If your dryer vents aren&rsquo;t properly vented, the trapped heat and moisture will cause mold to grow, and the mold can spread to the dryer and even your clothes. Not only can this leave a musty smell on your freshly laundered clothes, but&mdash;more importantly&mdash;it also poses a health risk. </p></div>

Q: How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?

• <div><p>Dryer vents need thorough cleanings one or two times a year, depending on family size and how often you run the machine. Failing to do so can put your home at an increased risk of fire. You should also schedule special cleanings if you notice that your dryer is taking longer to dry than normal, if you see lint building up on the outside flapper or in the vent itself, if you notice your dryer vent leaking water, or if your clothes have an odd odor on them after going through a drying cycle. </p></div>
