The American Red Cross is assisting the family with temporary housing after their home sustained over $200,000 in damage
Boca Raton FL – The Boca Raton Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard was upset when he heard about a recent dryer fire resulting in over $200,000 in damage. No one was hurt, but the family lost everything. The American Red Cross is helping the residents with temporary housing.
Horatio Chiorean, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, combines service with education to inform residents of the hazard lurking in their laundry room. Most homes have dryers, but sadly, few people are aware of the unseen hazard behind the dryer. Out of sight, out of mind…until disaster hits, leaving total loss and destruction.
There is nothing outdated about dryer vent cleaning service. All dryers and dryer vent systems require this important maintenance, no matter how old or new the dryer is. In spite of all the wonderful advancements in appliance technology, there is no maintenance-free dryer vent system. All laundry produces lint which will accumulate inside the dryer and in the dryer ducts. Lint build-up leads to air flow restriction which causes the dryer to overheat and allows the flammable lint to ignite.
Failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer related fires. Poorly installed systems can also be hazardous. Horatio finds a problem with 9 out of 10 dryer vent inspections. Professional dryer vent cleaning, repair and new dryer vent installation can make a big difference in safety and efficiency.
Installing a new dryer is quite simple, but it really should be handled by a professional. Gas lines need to be properly connected. Electric dryers must be plugged into a proper outlet. All dryers must be properly vented to the outdoors. Though an easy concept, there are many common errors that untrained people make when installing the dryer duct. Length, pitch and material are important factors. Dryer Vent Wizard only installs dryer vent systems that meet or exceed current safety standards.
