Dryer Fires
7/6/2020 (Permalink)
According to FEMA, failure to clean home dryers causes 34% of home dryer fires. Home dryer fires cause $35 million in property loss and can also lead to injury or death.
To reduce the risk of these fires happening in you or your insured's home or business, SERVPRO of Southern and Central Jefferson County can help clean dryer vents and ducts that may have lint build up.
Other tips for keeping your dryer vents clean from the National Fire Protection Agency include cleaning the lint filter before and after each load, and making sure the outdoor vent flap will open, and is not restricted by snow, a bird's nest, or any other potential obstacles.
If you have a need for your dryer vents to be cleaned, contact the cleaning professionals at your local SERVPRO. We can be reached 24/7 at 636-467-5444.
