The Wizard recalls a dryer fire that nearly killed the dog who was in a cage and unable to escape
The Wizard was saddened when he read the news about the dryer fire. In spite of all the media coverage, many people are still unaware of the importance of professional dryer vent installation and proper maintenance. Lint accumulation in the dryer vent system is the leading cause of dryer fires and it was determined to be the cause of the fire. Regular dryer vent cleaning service eliminates this hazard, speeds up drying time and extends the life of the appliance.
Robb Vandenberg, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.AppletonWI.DryerVentCleaningNow.com) warns pet owners about pet hair in addition to dryer lint. He explains that pet hair winds around itself and the lint to form a denser blockage. Pet owners may need to have dryer vent cleaning service performed more often to keep the dryer operating safely and efficiently.
Robb explains to all his customers how their dryer vent system can be a fire hazard. More than 17,000 dryer fires occur annually, with failure to clean dryer vents being the number one cause. Poorly vented dryers can also lead to carbon monoxide poisoning for those who own gas dryers.
Robb Vandenberg advises people to check their dryer vent opening on the outside of their home often to be sure it is working properly. Owners should make sure they see exhaust coming from the vent when the dryer is running. Check it often in the winter time to be sure it isn’t frozen shut or blocked by drifted snow.
