Absolutely. Dryer fires cause an average of 15,970 house fires annually in the United States, resulting in deaths, injuries, and hundreds of millions in property damage. The leading cause is failure to clean dryer vents, allowing lint to accumulate and overheat. Crystal Bay’s mountain climate doesn’t make you immune to this risk—if anything, longer vent runs in many mountain homes can increase the danger by providing more places for lint to build up. Lint is extremely flammable, and when your dryer overheats due to restricted airflow, it can ignite instantly. We’ve seen vents completely packed with lint, creating a fire hazard that homeowners had no idea existed. Regular professional cleaning eliminates this risk and gives you peace of mind that your family is safe.
