Appleton WI – The Dryer Vent Cleaning Appleton Wizard suggests fire prevention tips to area residents to help them understand why cleaning dryer vents is the best way to ensure dryer safety. Clothes dryers are the most likely appliance to start a fire, with over 17,000 dryer related fires occurring annually.
The Appleton Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard was upset when he read about an early morning fire that caused over 150,000 in property damages leaving a family of 6 homeless. They were very fortunate to escape without injury. Dryer vent cleaning service may have prevented this disaster.
The family was asleep when the fire started. A clogged dryer vent caused the dryer to overheat and materials stored nearby to ignite. The fire spread up the wall and into the attic, causing significant smoke damage to the home.

• Gas Dryer – A licensed plumber should inspect the gas fittings and flex hose for gas leaks
• Never leave home or go to sleep when the dryer is running
• Keep the lint filter clean and inspect it regularly for tears or damage
