Why the Vent Matters
Keep the area around the dryer clear of boxes, clothing and other combustibles, and do not machine-dry items soiled with flammable substances such as gasoline, cooking oil or paint thinner. Source: NFPA (via U.S. Department of Energy) - Clothes Dryer & Washing Machine Safety
Swap plastic or foil accordion-style dryer ducts for rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct, since flexible plastic and foil trap lint and crush or kink more easily. Source: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission - Overheated Clothes Dryers Can Cause Fires
Under the model residential code approach, a 4-inch dryer exhaust duct is limited to 35 feet of equivalent length, minus 2.5 feet for each 45-degree bend and 5 feet for each 90-degree bend, unless the dryer manufacturer's installation instructions set a different maximum.

Local Notes for Bluffton
Most dryer calls in Bluffton come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Indiana licenses plumbers statewide through the Indiana Plumbing Commission but has no statewide HVAC technician license, so heating and mechanical contractor licensing, including gas appliance work, is set by individual counties and cities.

In Indiana, you can check a license with the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency License Verification or report a problem to the Indiana Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
