  1. Air Duct Clean Ann Arbor Air Duct Clean Ann Arbor The Anatomy of a Dryer Fire Avert a clothes dryer fire with proper dryer vent cleaning and dryer maintenance service Many people are conscientious about having their heating system cleaned, unfortunately, so few folks picture their dryer in regard to fire avoidance. Great numbers of dryer fires transpire each year, triggering casualties, personal injuries, building devastation and home loss. Other than being a fire risk, inappropriate dryer venting also poses a carbon monoxide risk. These accidents can be prevented with adequately installed and maintained dryer ducting. A clothing dryer fire results when lint increases prohibiting airflow which then causes overheating. The heat and the ignitable lint are the principal elements for a dryer fire. Dryers create a great deal of lint and only cleaning the lint filter is not nearly enough. The lint screen snares a lot of lint but some travels into the back of the dryer cabinet, dangerously close to the pilot light. The best strategy to be sure your dryer ventilation system is dependable is to get it skillfully evaluated and cleaned approximately once a year. A different factor is the dimension of the vent; the shorter, the more desirable. At one time most washers and dryers were in the basement, on an external wall, with a comparatively short, straight vent to the outdoors. Presently a lot of modern-day homes tend to have their laundry room positioned away from an outside wall, with some being on the second floor. This means dryer vents are lengthier and are composed of some bends in which dust and lint can collect. They're also harder to access hence more difficult to keep cleaned. The preferred dryer vent system is short and straight. The segments need to also be joined together to leave the inside smooth and devoid of screws or rivets which lint might catch on. It is important that the venting be made of rigid material, not the pliable, foil sort of line that crumbles easily, constricting air flow. Permit suitable gap between the clothes dryer and the wall. A mistake people commonly make is shoving the dryer too close to the wall, squashing the ducting and developing an air flow challenge right off the bat. Here's one final pointer that not too many people understand. The dryer vent filter really should be washed completely with warm soapy water every few months to remove residue build up generated by softener sheets. It is in fact conceivable for the lint filter to have so much accumulation on it that it will hold water! This unquestionably prohibits air flow and causes the dryer to take more than one cycle to properly dry a load of laundry.
