The U. S. Fire Administration reports over 17,000 dryer fires annually, with most of them caused by failure to clean dryer vents. About 80% of Americans have clothes dryers; however, most people are unaware of the need for annual Dryer vent cleaning to keep the dryer running properly and prevent dryer fires.

In Newport News, VA a dryer fire caused some damage and resulted in a resident and a firefighter being transported to the hospital with minor injuries.

Another recent fire was reported in Virginia Beach, VA, where a malfunctioning clothes dryer caused a fire that destroyed the laundry room in an apartment complex. No one was injured and the fire did not spread to any of the residential units.

Poorly installed dryer vent systems can also be a fire hazard. The newer, energy efficient models can cause more lint to build up in the dryer vent system. Second story laundry rooms and larger homes require longer dryer vent runs which cause dryers to work harder. In many cases, the dryer vent itself is considered a fire hazard because it doesn’t meet current building code requirements.

Dryer Vent Wizard, Get the Lint Out! is a member of the National Fire Protection Association and the largest chain of dryer vent cleaning, repair, replacement and alternation specialists in the U.S. with nearly 60 franchisees in major markets in the U.S. Visit http://www.dryerventrepair.net/p/dryer-vent-services.html to learn more and to find a list of Wizards.
