Press Release Summary: DVW protecting those who protect us

Press Release Body: An imminent and growing danger may be lurking in your crawl
space, basement, or laundry room: the potential for a dryer vent fire. Up to 15000
dryer vent fires occur in the U.S. each year with devastating results. Dryer Vent
Wizard, a new service franchise serving Northeast North Carolina from the
Raleigh/Cary area to the coast, specializes solely in the cleaning and repair of
dryer vents, both in-home and commercial to reduce and eliminate the incidence of
hazardous dryer vent fires.

"I am pleased to bring this new and essential service to the towns where my family
and friends live," said Jim Buie, owner of the new Dryer Vent Wizard of Northeast
North Carolina and former firefighter. "By providing this service, we are doing our
part to help keep our community safe from the devastation of fire."

According to Buie, many dryer vents are not up to code because they are made of
plastic or foil. These older, more flexible dryer vents often sag, or are bent and
crushed when people attempt to push dryers closer to the wall. The resulting
curvature in the vent does not allow the laundry lint to properly escape. As the
lint builds up over time, it creates a highly flammable clog that could ignite at
any moment with the extreme heat of a running dryer. "If your dryer is taking more
than one cycle to dry your clothes, your home or business may be wasting a
significant amount of energy, and may also be at serious risk," explained Buie.
"These fires can be prevented by simply having us inspect your dryer vent to assess
the need to replace old plastic or foil vents with new, rigid metal vents that
comply with current building codes and will not sag or bend over time, therefore
providing a much cleaner path for lint to travel through." Once the new vents are
installed, Buie recommends an annual cleaning to ensure that laundry lint moves
though the vent without creating build-up.

Jim has already begun providing services to local residences and businesses
throughout the Northeast including Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Nashville, Rocky Mount,
Tarboro, and others. Recently, he generously provided complimentary inspections and
service the local Fire Departments. During the inspection and service Buie, was
able to make each fire department's dryers more efficient with new rigid metal
vents.

"Many citizens are not aware that keeping dryer vents efficient and clean is
essential to preventing dryer vent fires," said Buie who has seen the results of a
dryer fire first hand.
