Dryer Vent Fire Prevention: A Homeowner's Guide
Clogged dryer vents cause thousands of home fires every year. Here's how to stay safe.
The U.S. Fire Administration reports nearly 3,000 home fires every year are caused by clogged dryer vents. Most are preventable.
Warning signs: clothes take more than one cycle to dry, the laundry room feels unusually hot, a burning smell when the dryer runs, lint around the exterior vent cap.
Annual professional cleaning is the single most effective prevention step. Call (424) 688-9537 to schedule.
