Manhattan Dryer Vent Installation
Wizard Takes Action to Promote Public Awareness
Recent dryer fire upsets the Wizard because it could have easily been prevented with proper dryer vent installation and maintenance
A recently reported dryer fire could have easily been prevented with proper dryer vent installation, using the correct dryer duct material. Dryer lint accumulation was the cause of the fire, but the dryer vent tube was made of vinyl and it was completely plugged. Lint backed up into the dryer cabinet where it came into contact with the electric heating element and caused a fire.
Thankfully, no one was hurt. The mother got her children out of the home safely and went to a neighbors home to call 911. Firefighters removed the dryer from the home and damage was contained to the immediate area. Service by Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.flatironmanhattan.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) would have eliminated this hazard.
John Ryley works to promote public awareness of the importance of dryer vent cleaning to prevent dryer fires and improve dryer performance. Professional dryer vent installation and regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning is the best way to maintain the dryer for safety and efficiency. Here are some tips for consumers and business owners with clothes dryers:
• All clothes dryers must be vented to the outdoors
• Do not leave the dryer unattended when operating – stay home and stay awake!
• Professional dryer vent installation is critical to safety – correct material must be used and pitch or angle of dryer ducts is also important
• Annual dryer vent inspection and service is necessary
• If a dryer fire should start, remain calm, contain the fire by closing a door, turn off the dryer if you can do so safely, get out, and call 911
• Check smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors often and change batteries as needed
