(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 15, 2009 ) Baltimore, MD – As a member of the National Fire Protection Association, Dryer Vent Wizard has joined efforts to create public awareness on dryer fire prevention. Over 15,000 dryer fires are reported annually; one of the causes has been attributed to improper dryer vent systems.

The old style vinyl ducts which are still commonly used for dryer vents today are really designed for bathroom exhaust fans. When used to vent hot air from a dryer, they tend to deteriorate and crack, causing dryer exhaust to leak into homes. For those who have gas dryers, there is a risk of carbon monoxide as the dryer vent system is removing gas by-products from the home as well.

The flexible foil type which came about as an improvement over the vinyl are also considered unsafe today because they tend to sag or become crushed behind the clothes dryer, restricting air flow and trapping dryer lint.

Dryer Vent Wizard, the nation’s leading dryer vent cleaning company, only installs dryer vent systems made of semi-rigid or rigid metal. In addition to making clothes dryers safer, they also educate consumers by explaining the importance of a properly installed dryer vent system.
