In many laundry rooms lurks a danger so real that many home insurers are now addressing the problem by requiring a dryer vent inspection before they will provide coverage
Bob Dougherty, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, specializes in dryer exhaust issues while educating customers about dryer fire prevention and dryer care. He explains that a full load of wet clothes contains about a half a gallon of water. Lint is created from clothing as water is removed during the drying process. About 60 percent of the lint produced is caught in the lint trap. The rest escapes into the inside of the dryer and dryer duct where it accumulates and restricts air flow. The moist lint begins to line the inside of the dryer duct building over time till crucial air flow is restricted and a clog occurs. Anytime during this process a fire can break out as lint is highly flammable and with restricted air flow more heat builds.
Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.dryerventcleaningnassaucountynewyork.com/) addresses a number of problems when he inspects, cleans, repairs or installs new dryer vent systems. He will perform a test to analyze airflow speed before and after service to show the customer the difference.
A dryer vent system that is not properly moving the moist heated air to the outside is venting the air to the inside. When the humidity can be felt in the laundry room then the dryer vent has a problem. Besides the fire danger this venting of humid heated air into the house gives rise to a prime place for mold and bacteria to grow. Anyone with allergies knows this can be a miserable situation in the home.
Proper dryer vent installation and regular dryer vent cleaning service eliminates a fire hazard, reduces humidity in the home, prevents carbon monoxide threat and saves energy. Proper air flow is necessary for the dryer to operate safely and efficiently.
