(Construction.IndustryNews247.Com, July 22, 2014 ) Southlake TX - According to the Dryer Vent Cleaning Southlake Wizard, more than 80 percent of Americans own clothes dryers; but sadly, only about 20 percent are aware of the danger associated with them. The dryer is an indispensible appliance but few people understand the possibility of this common staple causing a devastating fire.
Thousands of dryer fires occur annually causing deaths, injuries and loss of homes, with failure to clean dryer vents being the leading cause. Increased drying time is the most common indicator of the need for dryer vent cleaning, but there are other signs to watch for. People have actually been burned by a hot zipper or metal studs on jeans when removing laundry from the dryer. A properly maintained dryer should not get hot enough to cause burns. Other warning signs include the excess heat and humidity in the laundry room or the outside of the dryer getting hot during a cycle.
Charles Espinosa, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://southlake.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) combines service with education to increase public awareness of the need for proper dryer vent installation and regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning service. He makes sure his customer understands the warning signs indicating an overheated dryer which will cause a fire if left unchecked.
The good news is dryer fires are easy to prevent. Cleaning the lint screen after every load will make a big difference in dryer performance and energy savings. A clogged lint filter will cause the dryer to work harder and longer to do its job and cost significantly more to operate. Poorly vented dryers can waste up to $300 per year in energy.
The Southlake Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard also warns people not to put rags or clothing that have been soaked with flammable substances like gasoline or cleaning solvents into the dryer, even if they have been washed. Residue can remain from these flammable liquids and generate vapors that could cause a fire. These items should be line dried.
Improper dryer vent installation or use of plastic of vinyl dryer duct material can also lead to a fire hazard. The Wizard suggests everyone, even the DIY homeowner, have a dryer vent inspection to be sure their system meets current safety standards. The updates in dryer vent safety standards have reduced the number of dryer fires by about 35 percent since the late 1970’s, but many people still use the outdated dryer vent systems.
Dryer Vent Wizard provides commercial and residential dryer vent service in homes and apartment buildings, condos and duplexes; and in businesses including public laundries, pet shelters, hair salons and anyone with a clothes dryer. All dryers require proper dryer vent installation and regular dryer vent cleaning service to ensure maximum safety and efficiency.
