Plastic or vinyl dryer duct material is another source of fuel to feed the flames when dryer lint is ignited by a spark from inside the dryer
Professional dryer vent installation is recommended for anyone who owns a clothes dryer. The vinyl or plastic dryer ducts that homeowners typically install do not meet today’s safety standards. The Chicago Dryer Vent Installation Wizard and dryer manufacturers recommend solid metal dryer ducts.
When a lab in New York performed a test on dryer vent systems they proved this point. They put an open flame to corrugated and smooth aluminum dryer ducts and neither one caught fire; but the vinyl dryer duct ignited within 12 seconds.
Manny Diesman, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in LaGrange said, “Too many people use the vinyl or plastic dryer duct material. One reason for this is that it is very easy for a homeowner to install. The problem is that it sags and allows lint to build up in the low spots, or it becomes crushed behind the dryer, completely blocking air flow.” Professional dryer vent installation by the Wizard ensures clothes dryers operate safely and efficiently.
Over 17,000 dryer related fires happen each year with clogged dryer vent systems being the number one cause. Poorly installed dryer vent systems can also be a fire hazard.
Dryer Vent Wizard only installs rigid metal dryer vent systems in accordance with city, state and manufacturer’s codes. Their certified technicians provide professional dryer vent installation, inspections and maintenance for homes and businesses with clothes dryers.
