There is no maintenance-free dryer vent system. Dryer maintenance is required for all dryers to operate safely and efficiently, even those with a state of the art dryer duct installed by the Wizard
Sonoma CA -- The Dryer Vent Cleaning Sonoma Wizard warns residents that neglected dryer maintenance is the leading cause of home fires in the United States. Out of sight, out of mind, few are aware of the hazardous condition accumulating in the dryer duct.
Rhonda Nole owns Dryer Vent Wizard in the Greater North Bay area. Rhonda has experience with several types of dryer vent systems installed in homes and businesses. No matter what type of system is used, good dryer maintenance through regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning service is critical to prevent a possibly devastating fire.
Many dryers serviced by the Wizard (http://www.dryerventcleaningsonoma.com/) have a dryer duct that vents through the wall directly behind the dryer. These shorter runs are most ideal for safety and efficiency; however, restricted air flow from lint accumulation can be a potential fire hazard. The danger can be eliminated by scheduling dryer maintenance with a qualified dryer service technician.
Failure to maintain dryer vents that go through the ceiling to the roof can lead to major home damage. The duct work leading up through the roof and the outside cap must be inspected regularly by a dryer vent service technician to insure safety.
Many home insurers are keenly aware of the existing danger so they are making it mandatory that policy holders schedule regular dryer vent inspection and maintenance service. They know that the best way to prevent dryer vent fires is through proper dryer vent installation and dryer maintenance service. The Wizard encourages residents and business owners with dryers to have a complete inspection performed to ensure safety.
A family’s largest investment is their home so it is very important to care for and protect it from dryer related hazards. Visible signs of danger may be noticeable on the inside wall behind the dryer and on the outside wall with a buildup of lint and dust. Increased drying time is a common indicator of blocked air flow.
Rhonda Nole urges everyone to have a dryer vent inspection performed immediately. The Wizard finds a problem with 9 out of 10 systems inspected. Rhonda will perform a complete inspection and evaluation to help determine how often dryer vent cleaning is needed, based on the type of dryer and dryer vent system, family size and other factors.
