Dryer Vent Safety for your Home

5/1/2018 (Permalink)

We all know about the kitchen fires, the cigarette fires, and the electrical fires that cause severe damage in homes. There is another kind of fire that causes over 34% of home fires each year: Dryer Vents. Failure to clean these drying vents are causing more and more fire damage in homes each year. 

According to our friends at FEMA, during the peak months of fall and winter they are even more likely to occur in your home. 

The facts do not lie,  FEMA reports: "2,900 home clothes dryer fires are reported each year and cause an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss." That's a staggering statistic. 

Keep your home safe during the winter season and year around by keeping those dryer vents nice and clean!
