A clogged dryer vents is the leading cause of over 17,000 dryer related fires reported each year
Rhonda Nole, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in the Greater North Bay area recommends everyone schedule a dryer vent inspection to be sure their dryer vent system meets current safety standards. Rhonda finds a problem with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems inspected. “Though failure to clean dryer vents is the number one cause of dryer fires, poorly installed dryer vent systems can also cause problems,” said Nole.
Some of Rhonda’s customers have been surprised to learn that only about 60 percent of lint removed from laundry is caught in the lint trap. The rest escapes into the dryer ducts or inside the dryer cabinet. Dryer Vent Wizard (http://marincounty.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) service technicians will perform a complete dryer vent cleaning to remove all lint accumulated inside the dryer and dryer vent system.
Dryer vent cleaning removes dryer lint build-up from the dryer vent system to allow heat and moisture to escape as laundry dries. A clogged dryer vent causes the dryer to work harder and use substantially more energy as it labors to get clothes dry. Increased drying time is the most common warning sign of blocked air flow and a potential fire hazard. Dryer vent cleaning is the solution when clothes dryers begin to lose efficiency.
An overworked, over heated clothes dryer can throw a spark that causes the combustible lint inside the dryer to ignite. The draft from the dryer naturally pulls the flame into the duct where more lint provides fuel. A dryer fire spreads quite rapidly causing major property damage, injury and death for many Americans each year.
