Over 17,000 dryer fires are reported each year with failure to clean dryer vents cited as the number one cause
Over 17,000 house fires are caused by dryers each year and most of them are due to failure to clean the dryer vent system. Don Brusseau, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, explains the anatomy of a dryer fire. Lint accumulates in the dryer duct, blocks air flow and makes the dryer work harder to force heat and moisture through the clogged dryer vent. Dryer lint is highly flammable and it only takes a spark from the dryer to ignite it and start a rapidly spreading fire.
Dryer fires are devastating, resulting in deaths, injuries and nearly $200 million each year in property damage. A complete dryer vent inspection and service by the Wizard (http://www.connecticutt.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) will ensure dryer safety, performance and efficiency.
