Dryer Fires

Dryer fires are one of the biggest dangers in a home. As demonstrated in a TODAY Home Alert News Story, the lint that builds up in your dryer is very flammable. All it takes is one piece too close to the burner or element in your dryer and the fire could spread if there is enough built up.
We have seen many dryers that have evidence that some lint inside them has burned, but a dryer fire can potentially cause smoke damage, or burn a house to the ground.
Here is a list of some things that you can do to avoid a dryer fire in your home.
Common Causes of Dryer Fires:
•Failure to clean dryers, lint traps, and venting systems
•Improper venting material
•Storage of combustible material near dryer
•Putting clothing through more than one drying cycle
•Failure to adhere to load capacities
•Leaving the dryer running unattended
•Mechanical or electrical failure
Dryer Fires can be easily avoided by having your dryer, and home vent professionally cleaned every 3-5 years.
