Residential fires are especially devastating in attached condos and apartment buildings where many homes and families are at risk
Dryer vent cleaning is the number one way to prevent dryer related fires while promoting maximum dryer performance. Most dryer fires could have been prevented with dryer vent cleaning service.
Dryer vent cleaning is often overlooked by homeowners, especially if they have never experienced a problem. Homeowners are responsible for taking care of their own home and maintaining their own appliances. But what about tenants who live in multi-unit apartment buildings and attached condos? Renters rarely have the knowledge and experience it takes to properly maintain a home.
James Smith, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard said, “Residential fires are especially devastating when they happen in an attached condo or apartment building. It only takes one clogged dryer vent to leave several families homeless. Worse yet, more lives are at risk in apartment building fires. Residents and firefighters are often injured as they try to escape through windows in upper units.”
James Smith advises people who live in attached condos or multi-unit buildings to talk to their neighbors about the importance of dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation. “In most cases, this is really the landlord’s responsibility,” said Smith. “However, many property managers do not give dryer vents a thought until they experience a loss due to a dryer fire.”
According to Smith, the cost of dryer vent cleaning can quickly pay for itself in energy savings alone. Other benefits of dryer vent cleaning include extended dryer life with less chance of break-down, improved indoor air quality with better air flow and ventilation and energy savings with a more efficient system. Most importantly, dryer vent cleaning eliminates a fire hazard and promotes maximum dryer performance.
James Smith is franchise owner/operator of Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes, a home service franchise based in Modesto, California. James advises property managers to have their dryer vent systems inspected to be sure they are properly installed and maintained. Dryer vent cleaning service should be performed annually and after a tenant moves out. Visit http://www.livermoredryerventcleaning.com to learn more.
