Why is it so important to clean your dryer vents?
According to USFA.Fema.gov, each year there are 2,900 clothes dryer fires that cause devastating losses: 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss. Sadly, in 34% of the cases, failure to clean the dryer is the cause of the fire. Lint is highly flammable and the buildup can reduce airflow and back up exhaust air. When you combine that with the hot temperature of a dryer, it’s a combustible combination that may lead to fires starting in the tumbler and spreading elsewhere. Air Duct & Chimney wants to make sure you’re not part of the next year’s statistics with our dryer cleaner service.
When it comes to air duct and dryer vent cleaning, we follow the excellent standards of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association. Since 1989 NADCA has been setting the bar in professional standards for source removal of contaminants for dryer vents.
