The Wizard explains how a clothes dryer could be a ticking time bomb about to explode with the next load of laundry
Gerry Rhen, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, challenges homeowners to take a closer look at their dryer. Gerry specializes in commercial and residential dryer vent cleaning and new dryer vent installation. He finds a problem with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems he inspects. Even if the owner has never had a problem with their dryer, it could be just a matter of time. The dryer could be a ticking time bomb, ready to ignite with the next load of laundry.
Over time, all dryer vents will accumulate lint which is highly flammable. All it takes is a spark from inside the dryer to ignite it and cause a rapidly spreading fire. Quite often, a dryer fire causes severe damage before it is noticed as it starts in the vent, inside a wall or sometimes, leading to the roof. Consumers can enjoy peace of mind knowing their dryer is safe from hazards by scheduling a dryer vent inspection and service by Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.newarkde.dryerventcleaningnow.com/).
The Wizard explains to his customers how lint accumulates inside the dryer duct. Dryer lint is moist when it is first removed from laundry, so very little will make to the vent outdoors. It becomes stuck to the sides of the dryer vent tube where it dries to a hard paste and attracts more lint with each load of laundry. As the lint accumulates, airflow is restricted and the dryer must work harder and longer to dry each load. This increases energy bills and can lead to malfunction, breakdown or a dryer fire. Here is what one customer had to say after the Wizard worked his magic and eliminated a fire hazard:
“These guys are awesome! I had never had my vent cleaned. I'm too embarrassed to say how long it had been. I just assumed all was well. I Iearned from our Homeowner's Assn. that lint build up is a major cause of fires. I got Dryer Vent Wizard over to do an inspection and cleaning (a 50-ft dryer vent under the unit). They did everything they said they would do -- showed up on time. Really worked hard. I would use them again. A first-class operation (Newark)”
Gerry Rhen urges everyone, even the DIY enthusiast to at least have a professional dryer vent inspection to be sure the system is installed properly and promotes maximum airflow. Though failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires, improper dryer vent installation, or use of inferior material can also be hazardous.
