Poorly maintained dryer vents cause fire hazards and cost substantially more money to operate
Dryer vent cleaning is important maintenance for anyone who operates a clothes dryers, whether residential or commercial. Dryer Vent Wizard of Central Pennsylvania professionally cleans, repairs and installs dryer vents in homes and businesses while educating consumers about dryer fire prevention.
Over 17,000 dryer fires are reported annually causing deaths, injuries and nearly $100 Million in property damages. According to Jerry Strausbaugh, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Central PA, dryer vent cleaning is the best way to prevent dryer fires. Jerry recently heard about a dryer fire in Valley Stream, New York that caused about $25,000 in damage and left a family of 3 homeless. The fire started in the dryer located in the middle of the home between the kitchen and bathroom and spread up a pipe chase to the second floor. Firefighters had to tear out walls to extinguish the flames.
According to Strausbaugh, clothes dryers located in the middle of the home, as with the one mentioned above, can be very hazardous if the dryer vent system is not properly installed. This is because a longer dryer duct is required to lead to the vent outdoors. This allows more places for lint to become trapped. Dryer Vent Wizard can install new vent lines, sometimes 30 to 40 feet long. Professional dryer vent installation is especially important in newer homes with dryers located away from outside walls. Jerry Strausbaugh strongly urges consumers to have their dryer vent system inspected for safety and efficiency. I find a problem with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems that I inspect, said Strausbaugh. Many people are using the vinyl or flexible foil dryer ducts, which are not compliant with todays safety standards. We replace these inferior dryer vent system with a rigid or semi-rigid material approved by the IRC.
