Newly built homes can be most susceptible to dryer vent problems and fire hazards
Over 17,000 dryer fires occur each year, with failure to clean dryer vents being the number one cause. Improper dryer vent installation and inferior dryer vent materials are also major contributors to fire hazards.
Many of the homes John Ryley services have vinyl or flexible foil dryer vent systems. Most people hook up their new dryer and never give it another thought. Many will even use the old dryer duct to keep things simple. Chances are the new dryer will not perform like new if it is connected to an inferior dryer vent system.
The Forest Hills Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard (http://www.forresthillsqueensny.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) explains how new trends in home construction have led to dryer vent problems. "Newer homes are being built with the laundry area conveniently located upstairs, near bedrooms and bathrooms," says Ryley. "These new trends create the need for a longer dryer duct which causes dryers to work harder to expel heat and moisture. The result is longer drying time leading to higher energy bills, and excessive lint build-up leading to a fire hazard.”
When asked what he is doing to promote public awareness, Ryley answered, “We take the time to educate our customers about the importance of dryer vent cleaning and proper installation. In addition, we ask them to help by warning their family and friends if they notice inferior dryer vent systems in their homes. I get lots of referrals and I’m confident that we are making a difference.”
