Dryer Vents Can Be A Fire Hazard

Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t realize the importance of professional dryer vent cleaning until its too late. It’s a hidden danger lurking in every home with a clothes dryer. When you dry your laundry, loose particles flow through the dryer into the lint tray and out an external exhaust vent. Most people know to clean the lint tray regularly but that’s not enough. These lint particles often have to travel long distances through an exhaust hose with twists and bends that transport it to an external exhaust vent. When lint gets trapped in the dryer, hose line, or exhaust vent, it has nowhere to go and will continue to build-up. The high heat of the dryer can start a fire that can quickly spread throughout your home. Believe it or not, dryer vents are now considered to be more of a fire hazard than chimneys. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued an alert due to the fact that there are 15,500 fires, 10 deaths and 310 injuries from dryer exhaust fires annually.
