The number of dryer related fires has increased to over 17,000 per year, resulting in deaths, injuries and over $100 million in property damages
The Dryer Vent Cleaning Chester County Wizard is on a mission to prevent dryer fires in his neighborhood. Regular dryer vent cleaning service is recommended by dryer manufacturers and the National Fire Prevention Association. Most dryer fires are caused by lint accumulation in the dryer vent system.
According to Gerry Rhen, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, failure to clean dryer vents is the number one cause of dryer related fires. When asked why so many people fail to clean dryer vents, Rhen answered, “Out of sight, out of mind. People take the clothes dryer for granted and since they cannot see the inside of their dryer ducts, they do not think about it.”
The Dryer Vent Cleaning Chester County Wizard has learned that many people think it is normal for an older dryer to take an additional cycle or two to dry laundry. “This is a very dangerous misconception,” said Rhen. “This is a warning indicating lint build-up blocking air-flow. If left unchecked, it can lead to a devastating fire.”
Over 17,000 dryer fires occur each year causing injuries, deaths and over $100 million in property damages. “Dryer fires are caused by a combination of intense heat and air-flow blockage,” said Rhen. “If you have a build up of lint in the dryer vent system then you have the combustibles needed to start a rapidly spreading fire.”
