The Dryer Vent Cleaning Experts in Brooklyn are Speaking out to Educate Consumers

June 10, 2010 - PRLog -- Brooklyn, NY – The dryer vent cleaning experts in Brooklyn are speaking out to educate consumers about the importance of dryer vent maintenance.  Without proper maintenance, the dryer vent is a potential fire hazard that exists in over 80% of American homes.  Unfortunately, too few consumers are aware of this dangerous condition.   Dryer vent systems become clogged with lint, and each load of laundry increases the chance of a dryer fire.

"Few people to think of their clothes dryer as a fire hazard," said John Ryley, owner of the Dryer Vent Wizard (DVW), Dry Clothes, Safe Homes franchise, whose company specializes in dryer vent cleaning, repair and installation for homes and business owners.

"Most people are not aware that New York State Building Codes have changed to require all dryer vent systems to be made of a rigid metal piping, because of the fire hazard," said Ryley.  “Dryer manufacturers are recommending rigid metal piping and annual dryer vent cleaning to reduce lint build-up that leads to fires and substantially higher energy bills.”

Servicing the Long Island area, every day Riley sees the fire hazards with his own eyes. The systems in most homes he services use white plastic flexible hoses or silver foil, flexible hoses that are not up to code.

The lack of awareness concerning this issue is simply because dryer vent systems are often out of sight and out of mind. "Homeowners want the laundry area to be out of sight and conveniently located near bedrooms and bathrooms," Ryley said. "While no one wants to drag laundry up and down the stairs, the reality is that longer dryer ducts can cause dryers to work harder to expel heat and moisture, take longer to dry clothes, use more energy, and lead to a fire hazard."

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), any vent over 25 feet is considered a fire hazard and installation of a booster fan is recommended. This helps dryers function safely and more efficiently and is one of the services DVW provides.

Ryley believes the solution to the problem is creating consumer awareness of the importance of maintaining dryers and dryer vents. The most common sign of a venting problem is when drying time increases.  "If it takes more than one dryer cycle to get the towels dry, you most likely have a dryer vent problem," said Ryley.
