Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard of the Blue Ridge Address Safety Concerns with a Clogged Dryer Vent

(EstateNewsWire.com, April 15, 2013 ) Ruckersville VA – More than 17,000 dryer fires are reported each year with a clogged dryer vent being the leading cause. In spite of recent media attention, many people are still unaware of the need for regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning service to prevent dryer fires and improve dryer performance.

Dryer Vent Wizard is a national dryer vent cleaning franchise that was created to assist homeowners in maintaining their dryer to reduce the risk of dryer fires. Wizards across the US work to increase public awareness of the need for this important home service.

Paul Beum, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://worldclassvents.dryerventcleaningnow.com/), addresses several dryer related hazards, including home health threats caused by poor dryer ventilation. To date almost every home has a dryer. Whether gas or electric, a clogged dryer vent will restrict airflow which is the most important function of the dryer vent system. Gas dryers pose a carbon monoxide threat when not properly vented.

A clogged dryer vent is a source for mold and other indoor air contaminants that can lead to health issues for residents. The biggest concern with lint accumulation in the dryer duct is a fire hazard. Here are some facts Paul shares with his customers while servicing their dryer vent:

Dryer vent cleaning eliminates a fire hazard. Only about 60 percent of the lint produced by tumbling laundry is caught in the lint screen. The rest becomes trapped inside the dryer or in the dryer vent tube. This condition will restrict airflow, cause overheating and lead to a dryer fire.

Dryer vent cleaning improves dryer efficiency to reduce energy cost. Increased drying time is rarely a sign of wear or malfunction. It is almost always directly related to poor venting due to lint accumulation.

Dryer vent cleaning increases the life of the dryer. The clothes dryer is a simple but sturdy appliance. Proper maintenance will keep it performing well and hazard free.

Dryer Vent Wizard is the highest qualified dryer vent service provider in the nation with over 60 franchised locations. Professional dryer vent installation and regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning is the best way to improve dryer performance, save energy and prevent dryer fires and other dryer problems. Paul Beum serves the Blue Ridge area, Charlottesville, Crozet and surrounding cities and communities. Visit http://dryerventcleaningruckersvilleva.blogspot.com/ to learn more.
