What You Need to Know About Venting 

  • What is Dryer Venting, and Why is it Important?

    Dryer venting involves tubing connected to your dryer's exhaust port. Venting allows the warm, moist air and lint on your clothing to be blown out of the dryer and outside your home. To operate correctly, dryers need vents that allow heat, lint, and moisture to be expelled outdoors. In addition, dryer vents assist in creating a suction force that removes lint from clothes and allows air to circulate more effectively.

  • Do I NEED to Vent my Dryer?

    YES! Excess heat blows directly into your laundry room without venting, causing lint buildup behind the dryer. In addition, if your dryer isn't vented outside of the home, moisture left inside promotes mold and mildew growth and allows condensation to form on your windows. In extreme cases, this can cause the wood in your home to rot. Without proper venting, lint buildup inside the dryer becomes a fire hazard because it's EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. In addition, gas dryers, if not vented properly, you risk leaking carbon monoxide into your home. Papa Joe's techs have seen this MANY times.

  • Okay, I Need Dryer Venting, but My Laundry Room Is Next to the Garage! Can't I Vent into the Garage?

    NO! If you have a gas-fired dryer, it's not only a bad idea to vent it into your garage; it's potentially deadly. Gas-fired dryers eject small amounts of carbon monoxide and must be adequately vented to the outdoors.

  • How Often Should My Dryer Venting Be Cleaned?

    In most cases, once a year is sufficient. However, lengthy, often-used vent lines with many twists and turns and homes with multiple pets are recommended to be cleaned twice a year.

  • What Type of Dryer Venting Should I Use?

    There are several types of dryer venting on the market. Most varieties resemble a metallic accordion of coiled springs covered in aluminum foil known as "flex" venting. Papa Joe's strongly discourages its use because it's easily crushed, restricting necessary airflow, thus increasing lint buildup. Instead, we use thick, unflexible 26-gauge metal piping, allowing smooth airflow and no lint restriction. We use high-quality powder-coated exterior vent covers.
