Press Release Summary: Clothes dryers with venting problems are a leading cause of
house fires costing millions of dollars annually

Press Release Body: Clothes dryers are a wonderful invention, but they do require
maintenance to assure safety in homes. The National Fire Prevention Administration
reports over 15,000 fires annually, costing millions of dollars, many injuries and
loss of lives. Consumers in New Hampshire have been emailing DVW to thank them for
their advice and safety tips offered on their website.

Dryer Vent Wizard advises proper maintenance and installation; dryer vents should be
as short as possible and contain few bends and turn which can inhibit venting and
cause lint to build up and clog the vent. Dryer Vent Wizard does not advise use of
sheet metal screws when attaching multiple sections of vent pipe together. They use
foil tape instead to eliminate protuberances that cause obstructions where lint can
accumulate, eventually leading to a restriction which hampers dryer vent cleaning
and allows lint to build up.

According to Dryer Vent Wizard, in addition to being a fire hazard, clogged dryer
vents cost consumers $18 - $24 per month. It is not normal for a dryer to take
several cycles to properly dry clothes. When drying time is longer than normal,
this may be a sign that the lint screen or the exhaust duct is blocked. Dryer Vent
Wizard advises consumers to try removing the dryer vent tubing while drying one or
two loads of laundry to see if drying time improves, to test for a venting problem
being the likely cause.

Dryer Vent Wizard professionally inspects and cleans clothing dryers for homeowners
and in commercially-owned buildings. Poorly maintained dryer vents are fire hazards
and cause clothes dryers to cost substantially more to operate. Check
