Dryer Vent Disaster Avoided

Many homeowners are unaware that ducts and dryer vents need to be maintained and serviced regularly. Not only does a residence benefit from the removal of allergens and pollutants from the heating system, but, they could be saving their home from a fire disaster.

When the vent of a dryer gets clogged with lint and debris it causes blockage. With the dryer, there is usually heat involved. If there is no where for that hot air to go… it can become a major risk. See the example below.
