Most dryer fires are the result of poor maintenance which leads to restricted airflow causing the dryer to overheat
Sausalito, CA – Service by the Sausalito Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard is the best defense against dryer fires and other dryer related hazards. Over 17,000 clothes dryer fires are reported each year with poor maintenance being the leading cause. Lint accumulation blocks airflow, leading to overheating and a dryer fire. Lint is flammable; therefore, providing ample fuel to keep the fire burning so it spreads through the home.
Rhonda Nole, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in the Greater North Bay area works to promote public awareness by educating all her customers on proper dryer vent maintenance to prevent fires and keep the dryer working efficiently. She specializes in commercial and residential dryer vent cleaning, dryer vent repair and new dryer vent installation.
Rhonda explains how only about 60 percent of lint removed from laundry is caught in the lint screen. The rest escapes into the dryer ducts or in the dryer chassis. Dryer Vent Wizard (http://sausalito.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) performs a complete dryer vent cleaning and lint removal from the dryer exhaust ducts, the dryer vent outside, and the inside of the dryer cabinet.
Service technicians with Dryer Vent Wizard make sure all their customers understand that when dryer lint builds up and clogs the dryer vent system, heat and moisture are unable to escape the dryer drum and laundry takes longer to dry. The dryer works harder, uses more energy and is at greater risk of failure.
Eventually, the dryer will throw a spark that ignites the combustible lint. The draft from the dryer pulls the fire into the duct where more lint provides fuel for a rapidly spreading fire. Dryer fires cause deaths, injuries and nearly $200 per year in property damage.
