Thanks to the Wizard, more area homeowners are now aware of serious problem with a simple solution
Massapequa NY – As a result of service by the Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard, more area homeowners are learning how critical dryer vent maintenance is to their health and safety. The most common fires in homes today are caused by clogged or damaged dryer vent systems, a serious problem with a simple solution. A call to a qualified dryer vent service technician for inspection can save the home and prevent costly dryer repairs and health hazards.
Bob Dougherty is passionate about dryer fire prevention and energy savings. As owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, Dougherty encounters many different problems with dryer exhaust systems. He points out the problems to his customers and explains the solution as he explains how his service will make the clothes dryer operate more safely and efficiently.
Older style dryer vent hoses are now out of code and need to be replaced as they actually add to the fire danger. The old soft hoses made of plastic or vinyl can catch fire or crack and allow heated, moist air to vent into the house rather than outside. The accordion shape of these older dryer vent hoses adds to the problem as it gives lint a place to begin building up eventually to what could be a devastating clog. Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.nassaucountyny.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) will replace an inferior dryer vent system with one that meets or exceeds current safety standards.
The best material to bring the dryer vent system to code is a rigid metal dryer vent hose. This hose is smooth inside and helps prevent dangerous lint build up. The Wizard can update the current home system so it meets the standard of local codes and home insurance providers.
In most homes the dryer vent hose allows the heated air and lint to be expelled outdoors. Bob Dougherty will not only check and clean the dryer hose; he will tighten any loose connectors and will inspect and maintain the outside cap whether it is located on the side of the house or on the roof.
In addition, the Wizard will make sure the dryer is venting properly so that no humid air comes into the laundry room where it can cause a breeding place for mold and bacteria affecting the health of both family and pets.
Most home insurers now make it mandatory for the home to have regular scheduled inspection of the dryer vent system in order to be insured. They know the danger of improper dryer vent maintenance and the potential problem can be promptly fixed with a call to a local dryer vent service technician.
