DRYER VENT TERMINATION SCREENED?

Dryer vent terminations with screens I find too often. They pose a fire hazard. The vent termination should have a damper flap that opens and closes fully, to keep birds and rodents out of the home. Dryers that vent through the wall is the preferred method, but many newer homes vent through the roof. You should check your drying times on a frequent basis to indicate a possible blockage in the vent pipe.
