Dryer Vent Installation Raleigh Wizard Warns about Danger Lurking in Dryer Vents

(EstateNewsWire.com, November 08, 2012 ) Raleigh, NC — The Raleigh Dryer Vent Installation Wizard warns area residents about a hazard that could be lurking in their dryer vent system. Clogged dryer vents are the leading cause of dryer fires and dryer vent cleaning is the best way to eliminate the hazard while improving dryer performance. Poorly installed dryer vent systems are also a threat to dryer safety and efficiency.

While out of sight and out of mind, an imminent and growing danger may be lurking in laundry area. Over 17,000 dryer vent fires are reported each year with devastating results. Jim Buie, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.dryerventwizardofnenc.com) serving Northeast North Carolina from the Raleigh/Cary area to the coast, specializes in dryer vent cleaning and professional dryer vent installation in homes and commercial buildings to make dryers safer and greener.

The Wizard is confident he is making a difference in his community. “I am pleased to bring this important service to the towns where my family and friends live,” said Jim Buie. “By providing this service, we are doing our part to help keep our community safe from dryer related fires.”

According to Buie, many dryer vent systems do not meet current safety standards because they are made of vinyl or flexible foil. These older, more flexible dryer ducts can sag and become crushed behind the clothes dryer. The resulting curvature in the vent allows lint to build up and block air flow necessary for a dryer to operate safely and efficiently. Professional dryer vent installation by a qualified dryer exhaust technician eliminates the danger and helps prevent dryer related hazards.

Over time, lint accumulation creates a highly flammable clog that could ignite with the extreme heat of a running dryer. “If your dryer is taking more than one cycle to dry your clothes, your home or business may be wasting a significant amount of energy, and may also be at risk of a dryer fire,” explained Buie.

While serving his customers Buie explains the necessity of annual dryer vent cleaning and proper maintenance. “Many people are not aware that dryer vent cleaning is essential to preventing dryer vent fires,” said Buie who has seen the results of a dryer fire first hand.
