Dryer Vent Cleaning in Girard, PA

7/15/2019 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of West Erie County specializes in air duct and dryer vent cleaning!

Pulling freshly dried towels out of the dryer usually fills the air with a pleasant, clean smelling scent.

Upon removing the towels or load of laundry, it can be easy to forget the simple task of emptying the lint tray. It may seem like an innocent, mundane step to forget, but it is an important step to preventing fire damage.

Did you know that dryer fires are one of the leading causes of fire in a home? Each year, failure to clean out clogged dryer vents and lint traps results in thousands of fires.

When homeowners neglect this task, lint can eventually pass through the duct and become trapped inside. It often sticks to the interior of the duct because it is still slightly damp, and over time, it slowly builds up.

Continued use of your dryer with intermittent removal of lint from the trap can lead to a fire.

Dryer fires can also affect the clothing inside the dryer. Fabrics such as nylon and polyester can produce harmful gases when they combust.

Many people store their washer and dryer in their basement. If that is the case, the fire can affect the ground level floor of your home.
