Why a clean dryer vent matters

The National Fire Protection Association puts the yearly average at 13,820 home fires involving a dryer (2014–2018). Failure to clean was the cause of 32% of them, and in 27% the first thing to ignite was dust, fiber or lint.

Signs your dryer vent needs cleaning

• Clothes are still damp at the end of a normal cycle, or drying takes longer than it used to (CPSC).
• Towels and jeans take a long time to dry, or clothes feel hotter than usual at the end of the cycle (U.S. Fire Administration).
• The flap on the outside vent doesn’t open while the dryer is running, or you can’t feel exhaust air coming out.
• The duct behind the dryer is crushed, kinked, or made of white plastic or foil. The CPSC recommends rigid or semi-rigid metal duct instead.

Washington says every three months

The Washington State Fire Marshal’s Office recommends cleaning lint out of the dryer vent pipe every three months — four times as often as the national once-a-year guidance — and using rigid or flexible metal venting so air keeps flowing.

The duct rules in Clark County

Vancouver builds to the 2021 Washington State Residential Code, which keeps the national dryer rules: a 4-inch metal duct ending outside with a backdraft damper and no screen, screws that stick no more than 1/8 inch into the duct, and no more than 35 feet of duct minus an allowance for each elbow. The U.S. Fire Administration notes that in a long vent with many bends, moisture condenses inside and attracts lint.
