Leesburg Dryer Vent Service Wizard Warns
about Dryer Vent Fires Caused by Poor Maintenance
The Wizard states: “Failure to maintain dryer vent system is a leading cause of dryer fires in the United States. Do you know what’s in your dryer vent?”
Doug Bittner, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, is determined to eliminate dryer fire hazards in his neighborhood by providing professional dryer vent service combined with education. Many area homes have dryer vent systems that vent out the wall directly behind the dryer. While this shorter duct may seem safe, excess lint can accumulate and block airflow needed for the dryer to function properly. Lint isn’t the only problem. Birds, bees and rodents find the warm opening on the outside of the home inviting as they set up housekeeping and block air flow with nesting material.
Ceiling dryer vents used in some homes today can cause major damage when maintenance is neglected. The hose leading up through the roof and the cap on the roof must be inspected regularly by a dryer vent service technician to insure safety for the home and family. Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.NorthernVirginia.DryerVentCleaningNow.com) carries special equipment for cleaning all types of dryer vent systems.
Home insurers keenly aware of the existing danger in homes throughout the country are making it mandatory that policy holders schedule dryer vent inspection and service regularly. Dryer vent cleaning by a qualified dryer vent service technician is the best way to ensure safety.
The home is the largest investment most families will make so it is important to protect that investment by contacting a dryer vent service technician for an inspection. In many cases where maintenance has been neglected visible signs of danger will be seen on the inside wall behind the dryer where a pile of lint and dust has collected. This means the dryer vent system is not working efficiently and is in need of servicing.
Even if these visible signs are not present, the danger could exist. Out of sight, out of mind is the reason many people neglect dryer vent service. The Wizard finds a problem with 90 percent of dryer vent systems inspected. Get peace of mind by ordering a dryer vent inspection today.
