How does a dryer fire start?
Prevent fires with yearly dryer vent cleaning and maintenance! In consideration to your home and fire prevention, many people do not put dryer vent cleaning at the top of the list. Many house fires can be prevented by performing routine dryer vent maintenance. Dryer manufacturers recommend yearly cleanings to keep your machine functioning to the best of its ability. Other benefits of routine dryer vent maintenance are reducing dryer times, extending the life of the machine, reducing energy costs, mold & mildew prevention, and prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Dryer fires occur when lint build up takes place. In turn, restricting airflow which causes the dryer to overheat. The heat of the dryer and the lint as the accelerant are a dangerous combination. Dryers produce a large quantity of lint and cleaning the lint tray is NOT enough! The lint tray only catches 40-50% of the lint. The remainder is in your vent line.
