Boise, ID – Dryer vent cleaning is the best way to prevent dryer fires and improve dryer performance and efficiency. The Dryer Vent Cleaning Boise Wizard recalls a dryer fire that occurred in an apartment building, leaving 30 families homeless and the building completely destroyed. “Thankfully, everyone escaped safely; however, the damage resulted in a total loss for the property owner,” said Mike Alder, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Treasure Valley
Over 17,000 dryer fires occur annually, resulting in deaths, injuries and $100 million in property damages. This is why Mike Alder purchased his Boise dryer vent cleaning franchise in 2006 to make a difference in his community by providing the necessary service and educating customers.
Mike is especially concerned with dryer vent systems in apartment buildings and attached condos, where more homes and lives are at risk. Though failure to clean dryer vents is the number one cause of dryer fires, improper dryer vent installation can also be a contributing factor. “Vinyl and flexible foil dryer ducts need to be replaced with rigid metal to be compliant with today’s safety standards,” said Alder.
Mike Alder urges residents, business owners and property managers to have their dryer vents inspected and serviced at least once a year. “When tenants don’t properly maintain their dryer vent systems, the landlord can be liable for whatever happens,” said Alder. “In large apartment buildings, many lives are at risk if a dryer fire should occur.”
One investor, who owns a very large apartment building said, “I never really gave this a thought. I appreciate Mike’s advice; he explained how easily a dryer fire can happen. I learned that a clothes dryer is actually more likely to cause a fire than a furnace or stove! I’m going to set an appointment with Mike to inspect my building and my home as well.”
The Dryer Vent Cleaning Boise Wizard urges landlords and apartment building managers to have all dryer vents in the building professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year or whenever a tenant moves out. “The cost of the inspections and necessary repairs is really small compared to potential damages, injuries and even loss of lives if a fire should occur,” said Alder.
