More than 17,000 dryer fires occur each year devastating homes, leaving families homeless and causing nearly $200 million in property damage
Sacramento – The local Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard is on a mission to educate consumers and eliminate dryer fire hazards in the neighborhood. Home insurers are also taking action by making mandatory inspection of the dryer vent system before they will provide coverage. A simple phone call to a qualified dryer vent repair technician will eliminate the danger of dryer vent fire in the home as well as provide many other benefits to the home owner.
What causes the danger? According to Gina Fazil, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, there are many factors that contribute. Restricted air flow through the dryer vent hose leads to an eventual buildup of lint which is highly flammable. Left unchecked, the dryer overheats and throws a spark into the lint clogging the dryer duct which ignites and causes a rapidly spreading fire. Regularly scheduled inspections with dryer vent repair service are the only safe way to eliminate the danger.
Dryer Vent Wizard is qualified to repair and replace inferior dryer vent systems in homes and businesses. Many homes still have old style dryer vent hose which contributes to the problem of lint build up. The old plastic and foil accordion style dryer hose is no longer up to code. The ridges inside invariably begin a collection of lint with first use. The lint filter in the dryer catches only a small percent of the actual lint produced and much ends up trapped in the dryer vent hose. Dryer vent repair and cleaning by the Wizard (http://dryerventcleaningsacramento.blogspot.com/) gives peace of mind knowing the dryer is operating safely and efficiently.
The Wizard will also inspect the dryer vent cap on the outside which is very important. Not only do clogs occur there from lint but birds and small animals have been known to make nests there. This also restricts the flow of air through the dryer hose leading to increased danger of home fires. A dryer vent repair technician will make sure these crucial areas are free of obstruction whether the dryer vent is behind the dryer, through the ceiling or through the floor into the crawl space or basement.
Loose dryer vent hoses allow hot moist air to escape into the home allowing for mold and bacteria to grow which can cause problems both for the health of family and pets. The Dryer Vent Repair Wizard will inspect the hose to make sure there are no leaks or blockages. She will replace faulty tubing and check fittings to make sure none have come loose over years of use.
The family home can be made significantly safer and healthier by calling Dryer Vent Wizard for a complete dryer vent inspection and repair service.
