The clothes dryer is often taken for granted while dangerous hazards lurk inside the dryer duct
Santa Rosa CA – According to the Santa Rosa Dryer Vent Installation Wizard, few people give serious thought to one hidden hazard in the home. The dryer duct, out of sight, out of mind, is often taken for granted while hazardous conditions lurk inside. Proper dryer vent installation and regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning is vital to dryer safety.
Rhonda Nole owns Dryer Vent Wizard, specializing in residential and commercial dryer vent cleaning, repair and new dryer vent installation. All types of dryer vents require maintenance. Ceiling dryer vents require periodic maintenance from the back of the dryer to the roof cap. This service should only be handled by a qualified dryer vent service technician.
Dryer vents going through the wall are the most common in homes and often easier to maintain. No matter what type of system is installed Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.dryerventcleaningsantarosa.com/) urges residents to schedule a dryer vent inspection to be sure their clothes dryer is properly installed to meet current safety standards.
Air flow is vital to the safe and efficient operation of a clothes dryer. Most people do not realize that the lint screen only catches a little over half the actual lint produced. About 40 percent escapes to the inside of the dryer cabinet and into the dryer ducts where it sticks to the sides and attracts more lint. Eventually, the accumulation will block air flow and lead to overheating and a fire.
The Wizard says proper dryer vent installation and good dryer maintenance is especially important in apartment housing and attached condo units. An entire complex of homes can be affected by the improper care of the dryer vent system. Public safety is a concern for everyone involved and the responsible action to take is to schedule a dryer vent inspection. Encourage other residents in the complex to share the concern and schedule dryer vent cleaning service.
