Why Bird Nests in Dryers Are Dangerous
Birds often build nests inside exterior dryer vent covers during early spring and nesting season. While it may look harmless from the outside, a blocked vent can cause serious airflow restriction, overheating, and even dryer fires.
​
In fact, clogged dryer vents are one of the leading causes of residential house fires. A bird nest can completely block exhaust airflow, forcing heat and lint to build up inside your system.
​
✔ Fire hazard from trapped heat
✔ Carbon monoxide risk (for gas dryers)
✔ Expensive dryer damage
​
Protect your vent permanently. Ask about our vent guard installation during your service call.
