The Wizard demonstrated how lint accumulation causes dryer fires and how an inferior dryer duct contributes to the hazard
Buena Park CA – Dryer vent cleaning is the best way to minimize the risk of dryer fires and other problems associated with poorly vented clothes dryers. The dryer vent system is responsible for carrying heat and moisture out of the home while laundry dries. Gas dryers also pose a carbon monoxide risk if not properly vented.
Gina Fazil, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, was recently featured on Chanel 13 News where she provided valuable information for homeowners after a recent dryer fire was reported. The hidden danger is present in all homes where dryer vent maintenance is neglected. Professional dryer vent installation and regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning service is vital to dryer safety and performance.
One area homeowner who recently experienced a dryer fire said she was lucky she didn’t lose everything when her dryer burst into flames. One of the responding firemen explained that most dryer fires are a result of poor maintenance, allowing lint to accumulate to the point of blocking air flow and causing the dryer to overheat.
Gina Fazil explained how the foil or vinyl dryer duct material can get bent or crushed allowing the lint to back up into the dryer. Signs that indicate dryer vent cleaning is overdue and the danger is present include longer drying time, the outside of the dryer is hot when running or the heating element or fuses burn out. Lint on the inside of the dryer door is another sign of imminent danger.
As one of over 60 Dryer Vent Wizard (http://dryerventcleaningbuenapark.blogspot.com/) franchises, Gina Fazil works to promote a very important message to homeowners about dryer hazards caused by poor maintenance. Besides being a fire hazard, lint blockage in the dryer vent line causes stress on the dryer, leading to longer drying time, higher energy bills and premature breakdown. Annual dryer vent cleaning service by the Wizard will eliminate problems caused by a clogged dryer vent.
Gina Fazil is a franchise owner/operator of Dryer Vent Wizard, a home service franchise in Orange County, CA. Gina purchased her dryer vent cleaning franchise in Sacramento in August of 2006. Word got out through customer referrals and her business quickly grew to the point of expanding her market area to cover Orange County as well.
