The Wizard agrees with home insurance providers requiring dryer vent inspection and service to eliminate a common laundry room hazard
Merrick NY – The Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard lists several good reasons to have a dryer vent inspection and service. The clothes dryer functions using hot air to remove moisture from wet laundry. As laundry dries, the humid air is vented outside through the dryer duct. The dryer duct and outside vent must be properly maintained to prevent clogs in the system which can lead to a dryer fire.
Bob Dougherty, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, combines service with education to help prevent dryer fires in his community. He explains to his customers that a full load of wet clothes contains about a half a gallon of water. The moist lint sticks to the inside of the dryer duct accumulating to the point of blocking airflow. Lint is highly flammable and all it takes is a spark from inside the dryer to ignite it.
Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.nassaucountyny.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) addresses a number of problems when he inspects, cleans, repairs or installs new dryer vent systems. He will perform a test to analyze airflow speed before and after service to show the customer the difference.
A dryer vent system that is not properly moving the moist heated air to the outside is venting the air to the inside. When the humidity can be felt in the laundry room then the dryer vent has a problem. Besides the fire danger this venting of humid heated air into the house gives rise to a prime place for mold and bacteria to grow. Anyone with allergies knows this can be a miserable situation in the home.
Proper dryer vent installation and regular dryer vent cleaning service eliminates a fire hazard, reduces humidity in the home, prevents carbon monoxide threat and saves energy. Proper air flow is necessary for the dryer to operate safely and efficiently.
