Tips to make a laundry room safer
The easiest way to make your laundry room safer is by using the right transition duct. Dryers naturally vibrate and become pushed back against the wall, crushing the duct and creating a dangerous fire hazard.
Clogged vents and duct cleaning

Ducts that are bent, crimped, crushed or twisted in any fashion tend to collect more lint than straight ducts. The lint builds up over time and other factors, such as sticky residue from dryer sheets, condensation, critters living inside the ductwork, and how often the lint trap is cleaned, all contribute to restricting the airflow in the dryer exhaust duct.
