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
The outside termination should have a backdraft damper and no screen (screens trap lint), and the flap must open when the dryer runs and be kept clear of snow. Source: U.S. DOE Building America Solution Center (PNNL) - Proper Clothes Dryer Venting
Fasten duct joints with clamps or foil tape rather than screws, which protrude into the duct and snag lint. Source: U.S. DOE Building America Solution Center (PNNL) - Proper Clothes Dryer Venting

Around Sumter
Most dryer calls in Sumter 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.
South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.
