Don’t become a statistic - Have your dryer vents cleaned regularly!!
"A preventable disaster"
Clogged dryer vents are an increasing factor of preventable house fires. the clogged lint from the dryers is a highly flammable by-product, together with Alberta’s dry climate it becomes the perfect ignition point of a fire.
Another issue is that wood remains the most widely used material for construction in Western Canada. As much as technology has improved with fire retardant treatments, wood is wood, and as such burns easily. This is why preventing house fires is a priority for any household.
Thousands of home clothes dryer fires are reported each year and cause deaths of both people and animals, injuries, and millions of dollars in property loss. Dryer fire hazards are a possibility everyone should be aware of.More home clothes dryer fires occur in the fall and winter months, peaking in January.
How do you know if your dryer vent is clogged..???
There are a number of factors that can point to a clogged dryer vent. Some of the most prominent are:
1) Your dryer machine not drying properly and there's a consistent odour .
2) Dirt showing up from the vent exterior.
3) Your laundry room/machine heat excessively when drying a load.
