(EstateNewsWire.com, January 11, 2013 ) Longmont CO – The Longmont Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard provides fire prevention tips for area residents who are not aware that cleaning dryer vents is the best way to prevent dryer fires. Clothes dryers are the most likely appliance to start a fire, with over 17,000 dryer related fires occurring annually.
When the Wizard read about a dryer fire that caused over 150,000 in property damage and left a family of 6 homeless, he was saddened. The family of six was lucky to escape without injury, but they lost everything. Proper dryer and dryer vent maintenance service would have eliminated the hazard.
The family was asleep when the fire started. A clogged dryer vent caused the dryer to overheat and materials stored nearby to ignite. The fire spread up the wall and into the attic, causing significant smoke damage to the home.
Mitchell Chesney, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.codryervent.com), combines service with education to make a positive difference in his neighborhood. He makes sure his customers understand the hazards associated with poorly vented clothes dryers. Here are some of the fire prevention tips he suggests while servicing dryer vents:
• Have appliances professionally installed
• Electric Dryer – A licensed electrician should inspect the electrical service to be sure the dryer has the right size breaker and that it is properly grounded
• Gas Dryer – A licensed plumber should inspect the gas fittings and flex hose for gas leaks
• Never leave home or go to sleep when the dryer is running
• Keep the lint filter clean and inspect it regularly for tears or damage
• Keep the laundry room clear of combustibles like boxes and flammable substances
• Never put synthetic materials including rubber, foam or plastic in the dryer
• Have the dryer vent system inspected and cleaned regularly
Dryer Vent Wizard is the highest qualified dryer vent service provider in the nation with 60 independently owned franchises. Mitchell Chesney provides commercial and residential dryer vent cleaning, dryer vent repair and new dryer vent installation in the Denver Metro area, Longmont, Centennial, Parker and surrounding cities and communities.
