Dryer Vent Cleaning Lancaster Wizard says Dryer Maintenance will Help Prevent Fire and Water Hazards in the Home

Lint accumulation results in poorly vented dryers causing excess moisture damage and can cause a fire

Lancaster PA – The Dryer Vent Cleaning Lancaster Wizard lists the many benefits to good dryer maintenance. Why is the dryer vent system so important? The dryer removes moisture as it heats wet laundry. Essentially the moisture is held in the warm air produced by the dryer in the form of humidity. The Wizard will make sure the dryer expels heat and humidity to the dryer vent outdoors to prevent mold and mildew damage inside the home.

Jerry Strausbaugh, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://dryerventcleaninglancasterpa.com/), specializes in dryer maintenance service while educating customers about dryer fire prevention through regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning. Jerry explains that a full load of wet clothes contains about a half a gallon of water. About half of the lint shed from clothing during the drying process is caught in the lint screen while the rest becomes trapped inside the dryer and dryer duct. The moist lint begins to line the inside of the duct where it attracts more lint and forms a hard paste that clogs the system. Soon, the flammable lint can catch fire and quickly destroy a home.

The Lancaster Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard addresses a number of problems during a routine dryer vent inspection. He will perform a test to analyze airflow speed before and after dryer maintenance service to show the customer the difference.

A dryer vent system that is not properly moving the moist heated air to the outside could be venting the air to the inside. When excessive humidity can be felt in the laundry room then dryer vent cleaning is the solution to the problem. Besides the fire hazard, venting hot, humid air into the house provides a prime place for mold and bacteria to grow. Anyone with allergies knows this can be a miserable situation in the home.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Lancaster Wizard Encourages Everyone to Observe Fire Prevention Month

Fire Prevention Month was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire while encouraging homeowners to find and eliminate potential fire hazards

Lancaster PA – The Lancaster Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard is reminding people to observe National Fire Prevention Month by eliminating potential fire hazards in the home. Fire Prevention Month was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, a tragedy that occurred in 1871. The 2,000 acre fire started on October 8 and resulted in more than 250 deaths and left over 100,000 people homeless.

Survivors of the fire never forgot what they had been through. The fire changed the way that firefighters and pubic officials thought about fire safety. On the 40th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, the Fire Marshals Association of North America decided that the date of the fire would be observed by promoting public awareness on fire prevention. The Wizard encourages consumers to have a dryer vent inspection and service to eliminate a dryer fire hazard.

The frequency of home fires increases during the fall and winter months, so Jerry Strausbaugh, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.dryerventcleaninglancasterpa.com/) is working to increase public awareness of the importance of regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning service. There are many things that can be done around the home to reduce the risk of fires, including regular appliance maintenance. The clothes dryer is one of the most likely appliances to start a dryer fire; yet it is also the most neglected maintenance among homeowners.

Dryer vent cleaning is recommended every year to remove lint build-up in dryer vent tubes and inside the dryer where it builds up around the motor. Lint is highly flammable; add a small spark from within the clothes dryer to complete the recipe for disaster; a rapidly spreading fire.

Over 17,000 clothes dryer fires are reported each year with the leading cause being failure to clean dryer vents. The National Fire Prevention Administration encourages everyone who owns a clothes dryer to have a complete dryer vent inspection performed right away.

Dryer Vent Wizard technicians work hard to promote public awareness of the importance of professional dryer vent installation and regular dryer vent cleaning service. Increased drying time is the most common warning of dryer lint buildup in the dryer ducts which restricts air flow and leads to mechanical breakdown or worse, a dryer fire.

Jerry Strausbaugh is proud to make a difference in his community by making clothes dryers safer and greener. His customers enjoy peace of mind that their dryer vent system is safe from fire and working efficiently to save energy. Dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation according to IRC Code prolongs the life of the clothes dryer. Visit http://lancasterpa.dryerventcleaningnow.com/ to learn more.
