Niantic Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Combines Service with Education to Eliminate Dryer Fire Hazards
The Wizard finds and fixes problems with 90% of dryer vent systems he inspects
Don Brusseau, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, updates his site often to provide tips and vital information to keep families safe from dryer fires. Area residents who visit the site learn the common critical mistakes made by people who do not specialize in dryer vent systems.
Dryer vent installation requires understanding the purpose and function of the dryer vent system. Heat produced by natural gas or electricity is forced through tumbling laundry as it dries. This heat and moisture must be able to escape the dryer drum in order for clothes to dry.
According to Brusseau, one of the most common mistakes homeowners make is purchasing the vinyl dryer duct kit because it is cheap and easy to install. This is the worst possible dryer vent system to have because it sags and allows lint to accumulate in low spots. It deteriorates and becomes cracked, allowing dryer exhaust to vent into the home. If the dryer throws a spark and the lint ignites, the vinyl material adds more fuel to feed the flames.
For this reason, Wizards across the nation work to educate consumers on proper Dryer vent installation techniques. Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.connecticutt.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) only installs dryer vent systems of rigid metal, meeting all current city, state and manufacturer’s codes. Dryer vent service technicians are happy to take the time to explain what they are doing and why it is important to enhance dryer performance while promoting dryer safety.
In addition to professional dryer vent installation, Don Brusseau recommends annual dryer vent cleaning. In spite of all the advances in technology and appliance efficiency, there is no such thing as a maintenance-free dryer vent system. Even the very best, state-of-the-art, dryer vent system installed by Dryer Vent Wizard requires maintenance.

Groton Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Explains Spontaneous Combustion
Area residents learn unusual cause of dryer related fire when the dryer was not even plugged in!
New London, CT -- Dryer vent cleaning eliminates most dryer fire hazards; however, failure to clean the dryer vent cannot be blamed for one unusual case. “The dryer was not even plugged in!” said the Dryer Vent Cleaning New London Wizard. “This is a new one to add the list of hazards that I warn my customers about every day.”
Firefighters were extremely busy as they responded to 33 calls on a Saturday following a severe storm. Some were fires caused by lightening strikes; others were simply false alarms triggered by the storm.
The most unusual of fires was a dryer fire at a day spa. The dryer was not operating at the time; in fact, it wasn’t even plugged in. The dryer was full of sheets and towels soaked in organic essential oils that spontaneously combusted. The oils decomposed, releasing heat, which was increased by the dampness and weight of the linens.
Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire which was contained to the dryer; however, dangerous levels of carbon monoxide had been released and filled the basement. Without any windows to ventilate the fumes, firefighters spent two hours directing the contaminated air up a stairway and out through the first floor.
Don Brusseau, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.connecticutt.dryerventcleaningnow.com/), thought he had heard it all until now. This was an unusual dryer fire, because the dryer wasn’t even plugged in. Brusseau advises his customers to be very careful of what they put in the dryer because any flammable or combustible substances can ignite from the heat in the dryer. Even if they have been washed, residue can be left behind. These items should be line-dried for safety.
