If your dryer has started taking a lot longer to dry, you should check your dryer vent instead of calling a repairman right away. It should not have a screen in it like this one. Most have flappers that close when the dryer is not running so screens sometimes aren't necessary but definitely not a screen with this small of holes. This one obviously had a problem for a while.
If your chimney has this kind of creosote buildup there are usually 3 causes. 1) You haven't had it cleaned in a long time. 2) You choke it down for an all night burn. 3) You have wet wood. This WILL become a chimney fire if it is not corrected. This is operator error and not your stoves fault.
