"Metal or Plastic?"


Hello fellow homeowners! The question of the week is "Metal or Plastic?" Which do you have? I'm talking about the vent piping material on the back of your clothes dryer. Take a look. If it looks like the one in this picture, you have plastic, and should consider changing it soon. Plastic dryer vents have been linked to many house fires. The best type is the solid metal ones. Please keep in mind that you should also check them periodically for dust buildup and clean as needed.

Please email or call me with any questions. eaglehomeinspections@embarqmail.com or (973) 875-0100. Have a good and productive week! Ed.
