Spot the warning signs before they spot you.
Lint is fuel, and a hot, restricted dryer is a known fire hazard. A risk assessment looks for the conditions that make a dryer fire more likely.
- Checks: Lint, duct type, length and heat
- Looks at: Dryer, duct and vent hood
What it is, and why it matters.
Fire agencies list lint buildup and blocked vents among the leading causes of home dryer fires. A risk assessment looks at the things that raise the odds: heavy lint, crushed or foil duct, a long run, a hot dryer and a failing vent hood.
We check each of those, explain which ones apply to your home and rank what to fix first. It is a practical review, not an alarm, and it ends with a short list you can act on.

Dryer Fire Risk Assessment: common questions
Is my dryer a fire risk?
Any dryer with a clogged vent, foil duct or heavy lint is at higher risk. An assessment tells you where yours stands.
What should I do right now?
Clean the lint trap after every load, never run the dryer when you are away, and do not use it if the vent is badly blocked.
