The Wizard finds a problem with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems inspected, even those that have never caused a problem before
Newport KY – Many people question the need for professional dryer vent cleaning service, especially those who have never had a problem with their clothes dryer. In fact, they never even gave dryer vent cleaning and maintenance a second thought.
Ed Rauch, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, urges homeowners to take a closer look at their clothes dryer. Ed specializes in commercial and residential dryer vent cleaning and new dryer vent installation. He finds and corrects airflow issues with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems he inspects. Even if the owner has never had a problem with their dryer, it could be just a matter of time. The dryer could be a ticking time bomb, ready to ignite with the next load of laundry.
There is no maintenance free clothes dryer. Gas or electric, residential or commercial, over time, all dryer vents will accumulate lint which is flammable. A spark from inside the dryer is all it takes to ignite it and cause a rapidly spreading fire. In many cases, a dryer fire goes unnoticed until it has caused serious damage. It starts in the vent, inside a wall or sometimes, leading to the roof. By the time homeowners smell smoke or see flames, the fire is already out of control. The best way to be safe is to schedule a dryer vent inspection by the Wizard (http://newportky.dryerventcleaningnow.com/).
Dryer lint is moist when it is first removed from laundry, so very little will make to the vent outdoors. It becomes stuck to the sides of the dryer vent tube where it dries to a hard paste and attracts more lint with each load of laundry. As the lint accumulates, airflow is restricted and the dryer must work harder and longer to dry each load. This increases energy bills and can lead to malfunction, breakdown or a dryer fire.
Ed Rauch urges everyone who uses a clothes dryer including the DIY enthusiast to at least have a professional dryer vent inspection to make sure it is installed properly. Though failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires, improper dryer vent installation, or use of inferior material can also be hazardous.
