A clogged dryer vent is an unknown source for mold and other indoor air contaminants

Bob Dougherty, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.nassaucountyny.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) addresses several dryer related hazards, including health threats associated with poor dryer ventilation. To date almost every home has a dryer. Whether gas or electric, airflow is the most important requirement for a dryer to work safely and efficiently. Poorly vented gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide threat.

A clogged dryer vent is an unknown source for mold and other indoor air contaminants that can lead to health issues for residents. The biggest concern with lint accumulation in the dryer vent system is a fire hazard. Here are some facts Bob shares with his customers while servicing their dryer vent:

Dryer vent cleaning eliminates a fire hazard. Only about 60 percent of the lint produced by tumbling laundry is caught in the lint screen. The rest becomes trapped inside the dryer or in the dryer vent tube. This condition will restrict airflow, cause the dryer to overheat and lead to a dryer fire.

Dryer vent cleaning improves dryer efficiency to reduce energy cost. Increased drying time is rarely a sign of wear or malfunction. It is almost always directly related to poor venting due to lint accumulation.

Dryer vent cleaning increases the life of the dryer. The clothes dryer is a simple but sturdy appliance. Proper maintenance will keep it performing well and hazard free.
