  1. Ann Arbor Commercial Air Duct Cleaning Ann Arbor Commercial Air Duct Cleaning The Components of a Dryer Fire Avert a dryer fire with appropriate dryer vent cleaning and dryer maintenance service Lots of people are conscientious about having their furnace cleaned, but, few homeowners think of their clothes dryer in regard to fire avoidance. Countless dryer fires transpire annually, leading to loss of lives, traumas, property damage and home loss. Aside from being a fire risk, unsuitable dryer venting also poses a carbon monoxide problem. These occurrences can be eliminated with correctly installed and maintained dryer vent system. A dryer fire transpires when lint accumulates inhibiting airflow which then provokes overheating. The heat and the flammable lint are the fundamental ingredients for a dryer fire. Clothing dryers generate a great deal of lint and merely cleaning the lint screen is not enough. The lint screen snares a lot of lint however some goes into the back of the dryer, dangerously near the pilot light. The recommended way to make sure your dryer vent equipment is risk-free is to get it expertly evaluated and cleaned about once a year. Yet another matter is the span of the vent line; the shorter, the more effective. There was a time when most washers and dryers were in the basement, on an exterior wall, with a comparatively short, straight vent to the outside. These days many modern-day home or apartments may have their laundry area situated far from an outside wall, with some located on the second floor. This means dryer vent lines are considerably longer and involve some bends in which lint can build up. They're also harder to access therefore a greater challenge to keep cleaned. The most ideal dryer vent system is short and straight. The pieces need to also be properly joined to leave the inside smooth and without screws or fastenings that lint can easily catch on. It is important that the venting be made of solid material, not the pliable, foil style line that crumbles quite easily, restraining air flow. Give enough space between the clothes dryer and the wall. One misstep people commonly make is pushing the dryer too close to the wall, squeezing the venting and producing an ventilation problem instantly. Here's one last point that very few people know about. The dryer vent screen must be washed well with warm soapy water every few months to remove residue build up produced by softener sheets. It is literally possible for the lint filter to have so much build-up on it that it will hold water! This definitely inhibits air flow and causes the dryer to take more than one cycle to effectively dry a load of clothing.
