Don't Let your Dryer Start a Fire!
Melville, NY – Dryer vent cleaning technician, John Ryley, is highly respected and well known by consumers and business owners in Melville. How does someone who cleans and installs dryer vent systems become so popular? “Many people think they need to replace an aging dryer when clothes take multiple cycles to dry,” said Ryley. “When I come in and clean their dryer vent system, they are amazed at the improvement. They are also happy to pay a small service fee rather than purchase a new appliance.”
John Ryley, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in New York, reminds works to increase public awareness of dryer fire prevention. In cooperation with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), John Ryley and other DVW franchisees provide tips and advice to make clothes dryers safer and more efficient. "Preventing dryer fires is our safety message yet consumers are still unaware that maintenance of their dryer and dryer vent is the key to preventing dryer fires," says Ryley.
In addition to preventing a dryer fire, Ryley points out that the most obvious results people will notice are faster drying times and reduced energy bills.
Ryley estimates that 90% of the population has a clogged dryer vent system and are unaware of it. "We spend as much time educating consumers on the importance of maintaining their dryer and dryer vent as we do cleaning, repairing, replacing and providing alteration solutions," says Ryley.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, dryer fires account for an average of 15,000 fires with an approximate $88 Million in property damage, 15 deaths and 400 injuries annually. "Failure to clean" was citied as the leading factor contributing to clothes dryer fires in residential buildings.
Mr. Ryley offers these tips on keeping your home safe:
Be aware! If your dryer is taking more than one cycle to dry a load, you likely have a dryer vent problem.
Be sure that dryer vent systems are up to code with city, state and manufacturer.
Replace any plastic or foil vent with solid metal venting. Plastic and foil venting are a known fire hazard!
Clean screen lint screens before or after EVERY load of laundry.
Wash lint screens with soap and water every few months to remove residue left behind by fabric softeners.
Have dryer vents professionally cleaned and inspected annually. Don't keep combustibles like chemical cleaning products or chemical-laden rags near dryers.
In cold winter months, check outside vent cover to make sure it's not frozen shut or blocked.
