The Framework of a Clothing dryer Fire

Stop a fire hazard with professional dryer duct cleaning and dryer maintenance service

Many people are punctual about getting their heating system cleaned, unfortunately, very few folks imagine their dryer in relation to fire avoidance. Numerous dryer fires occur each year, generating loss of lives, traumas, building damage and home loss. Other than being a fire danger, unsuitable dryer venting also presents a carbon monoxide accident. These hazards can be avoided with correctly installed and maintained dryer vents.

A dryer fire results when lint collects hampering airflow which then brings about overheating. The heat and the flammable dryer lint are the primary components for a dryer fire. Clothes dryers produce a good deal of lint and merely cleaning the lint filter is not nearly enough. The lint screen traps a lot of lint however some escapes into the back of the dryer, dangerously around the burner. The most recommended means to be sure your dryer venting equipment is risk-free is to get it expertly assessed and cleaned approximately once a year.

Yet another concern is the distance of the vent; the shorter, the more ideal. In years past most clothes dryers were in the basement, on an outside wall, with a comparatively short, straight vent to the outside. These days many newer homes can have their laundry room placed away from an outside wall, with some being on the second floor. This means dryer vent lines are lengthier and contain some bends where dust and lint can accumulate. They're also tougher to reach thereby a greater challenge to keep cleaned. The most ideal dryer vent system is short and straight. The pieces need to also be properly joined to make the interior smooth and free of screws or fastenings which lint can easily snag on.

It is crucial that the vent be made of inflexible material, not the bendable, foil kind of line that crushes quite easily, limiting airflow. Allow acceptable open space between the dryer and the wall. One misstep people routinely make is moving the dryer too close to the wall, crushing the ducting and developing an airflow challenge instantly.

Here is one final idea that not many people understand. The dryer vent screen should be cleaned real good with hot soapy water every few months to get rid of residue accumulation caused by softener sheets. It is indeed feasible for the lint filter to have so much accumulation on it that it will hold water! This clearly limits air flow and causes the dryer to take more than one cycle to adequately dry a load of clothes.
