Fire Prevention Tips from the Friendly Neighborhood Clarksville Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard

(EstateNewsWire.com, August 16, 2012 ) Clarksville, IN -- The Clarksville Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard is on a mission to educate consumers about the danger of dryer fires. Most Americans own a clothes dryer; yet, few are aware of the necessity of regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning service. Clothes dryers are the most likely appliance to cause a fire and one of the most expensive to operate. Poor maintenance increases the danger significantly.

When Keith O’Loane, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.Kentuckiana.DryerVentCleaningNow.com) heard about a dryer fire that left a family of 6 homeless, he was upset. Thankfully, the family escaped without injury, but they lost everything. Dryer vent cleaning service may have prevented this disaster.

Residents were 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.

Dryer Vent Wizard is qualified to clean, repair and install new dryer vent systems in homes and businesses. Education is an important part of his service as he suggests the following tips to his customers to promote dryer safety:

• 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
