Press Release Summary: Dryer Vent Wizard urges landlords and apartment building managers to have dryer vent systems professionally inspected and cleaned periodically
Press Release Body: Recent news reported a clothes dryer fire in an apartment building causing 30 units to be evacuated. Thankfully, there were no injuries, but it is estimated that it will cost over $50,000 to repair the damages. Most of the residents were local college students.
Larry Butterfield, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard was at a recent meeting, talking to landlords and apartment building managers. He explained to them how failure to properly maintain dryer vent systems is the leading cause of clothes dryer fires. Lint is highly flammable; clothes dryer vents carry the hot dryer exhaust outdoors. Most lint from dryers is caught by the screen, but some escapes into the dryer vent tubes. When it accumulates, it restricts air flow, causing over heating and eventually, a fire. “Dryer vent inspections and cleaning by professionals who specialize in dryer vent systems should be done at least once a year, especially in apartment buildings where so many lives are at risk,” said Butterfield.
Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes, specializes in dryer vent cleaning, repair, installation and alterations. They are a great service to their community as they educate each customer in dryer vent maintenance and dryer fire prevention. The job isn’t complete until the technician has shown the customer everything they need to know about their dryer vent system. DVW technicians will demonstrate how to properly clean and maintain the system between annual inspections and professional cleanings.
Larry Butterfield urges landlords and apartment building managers to have all dryer vents in the building professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year or whenever a tenant moves out. “The cost of the inspections is minute compared to the potential damages, injuries and even loss of lives if a dryer fire should occur,” said Butterfield.
