    Try these simple checks first — if the problem persists, we're here to help.

    Clean your lint trap after every single load — this is your first line of defense
    Check your exterior vent flap periodically to ensure it opens and closes freely
    Never use flexible foil or plastic dryer vent hose — use rigid or semi-rigid metal
    Don't overload your dryer — it restricts airflow and increases lint buildup
    Schedule professional vent cleaning annually, or sooner if drying times increase

    Many older Blaine homes have undersized or deteriorating ducts that reduce efficiency by 20-30%. Duct sealing or replacement restores proper airflow.
