Insurance companies are starting to require professional dryer vent inspection and service to minimize the risk of dryer related hazards caused by neglected maintenance
According to Jeff Knudtzon, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, dryer fires happen more frequently than chimney fires. More than 17,000 dryer fires occur each year, causing deaths, injuries, and nearly $200 million in property damages. In response to this growing trend, dryer manufacturers install safety devices to shut the down the dryer to prevent overheating when sensors detect restricted airflow. Of course, like anything else, these safeguards are not 100%. They can wear out or fail.
Fire fighters recommend annual dryer vent cleaning and inspections of dryer exhaust systems to ensure safety.
