Sunday, Oct. 16, the Taylor-Snowflake Fire & Medical Department fought the fire for three hours to ensure the fire was totalLy out.
Assistant Fire Chief Willie Nelson explained that a restricted vent allows the dryer to build up heat when the air cannot escape the way it was designed to escape. Lint is highly combustible and can easily ignite, spreading to adjacent materials.
Several thousand fires each year are reported involving dryers.
“The lint trap only captures approximately 75 percent of the lint with the remaining 25 percent going out the vent. If there are bends or restrictions, the lint can accumulate. Routine cleaning of the vent between the dryer and the outside vent will reduce the risk of fire.”
The best way to prevent the possibility of a dryer fire harming your family is an annual dryer vent inspection and cleaning by the professionals at The Lint King Dryer Vent Cleaning Experts.
A properly installed metal dryer vent system will ensure maximum airflow for best dryer performance.
The Lint King is proud of its customer satisfaction record as demonstrated by the customer testimonials that we've received since 2005 from our dryer duct cleaning customers.
A clogged dryer vent is caused by the build-up of lint and other debris in the airways. There’re many reasons why a clothes dryer's vent becomes clogged and we've listed many of the most common below.
Today’s modern laundry room can be located almost anywhere creating very long and complicated runs that have several bends in the homes ducts. This scenario means dryer vents tend to create more back pressure and the dryer’s efficiency is degraded. They will also make it more difficult to clean.
Longer ducks will cause lint to collect more rapidly than a system with shorter runs and minimal turns. The maximum suggested length for a dryer vent is 25 feet. But, because of the turns we need to subtract 5 feet for 90 degree turns. 45 degree vent turn are preferred because they subtract only 2.5 feet of the max length.
