Dryer fires are on the rise with maintaining your dryer vent system you could prevent a dryer fire and the possibility of burning down your home and maybe loosing a loved one. Dryer vent fires are the #1 cause for burning down your home.  If you have a gas dryer then you are risking carbon monoxide exposure as well.  Here is a list of how to know if it is time to have your dryer vent cleaned out

  • Dryer times taking longer
  • Moisture in the venting system
  • Excess lint in your laundry room
  • Top of dryer getting hot
  • Lint coming out of Dryer Vents
  • Air not coming thru vent caps
  • Lint behind lint cap

If you don’t maintain your dryer what could happen is you can burn out your heating element. You can buy new dryers all day long but if the dryer vent isn’t clean your dryer won’t work properly or it could cause a fire because it all backs up into the motor where the dryer fires start.  At Custom Chimney Heating and Air we have the proper tools to clean out your vents and our technician is trained to also take off the back of the dryer and clean around the motor where the fires start.  So call now at 770-345-0882 or email us at Jimmy@CustomChimneySweeping.com to set up your appointment now.  Don’t make an ash of yourself.

According to the US Fire Administration, between 2002 and 2004 clothes dryers counted for about 15,600 reported structure fires, 15 deaths and 400 injuries annually. “Failure to clean” is the leading factor contributing to clothes dryer fires in residential buildings. The Chimney Safety Institute of America recommends that CSIA Certified Dryer Exhaust Technicians perform exhaust duct inspections on an annual basis to ensure efficient operation of your clothes dryer system. Certified Dryer Exhaust Technicians have passed an extensive exam on the proper inspection and maintenance of dryer vents, including applicable codes and standards relating to these systems. In addition to these safety considerations, annual clothes dryer exhaust inspections by a CSIA Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician can also increase the efficiency of your clothes dryer and decrease the wear on your appliance saving you money.

Appliance Efficiency
A clean exhaust duct prevents heat, moisture and, in the case of gas clothes dryers, carbon monoxide from being trapped in your home.When this type of spillage occurs, energy, natural resources and time are all wasted because your appliance works too hard and runs longer than necessary. Moisture can also cause damage to drywall, wallpaper, ceilings and other building materials.

Wear on Your Clothes Dryer
If your dryer takes twice as long to dry clothes as it should, the number of loads that it will dry is cut in half. When the dryer runs at higher than designed temperatures, the life of your clothes dryer decreases. This can lead to the heating element burning out or a fire could ignite as a result of overworked safety controls.
