(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 20, 2011 ) Derry, NH -- The dryer vent cleaning Derry NH Wizard, Webb Dickson, expressed his concern when a dryer fire in an apartment building left 16 people homeless. Webb Dickson owns Dryer Vent Wizard, a dryer vent cleaning, repair and installation company who provides dryer vent service to homes and businesses in New Hampshire and Middlesex and Essex Counties in Massachusetts.
The Wizard recalls a dryer fire left 10 people, including 6 children, homeless. The malfunctioning dryer, in the basement of an apartment building, set fire to nearby debris according to fire officials.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, over 15,000 dryer fires are reported annually. Most of them are caused by failure to clean dryer vent systems. Other causes include improper dryer vent installation or flammable items being stored near the dryer. Even if the debris is not the direct cause of the fire, it will add fuel to the flames, allowing the fire to spread more rapidly and cause more damage, said Dickson.
Though the laundry room seems to be the place to store things like cleaning supplies, grocery bags, paint, and boxes of odds and ends, it can also be very dangerous. Webb Dickson advises his customers to be very careful what they store in the laundry room near heat producing appliances. Some things are better stored in the garage, shed, attic or basement.
The Dryer Vent Cleaning Derry NH Wizard is especially concerned about residents who live in apartment buildings or attached condos where more homes and lives are at risk. He advises landlords and property managers is to visit their units periodically to be sure there are no fire hazards. Dryer vent cleaning is recommended at least once a year for single-family residents, said Dickson. When multiple families are sharing the same laundry facilities, then dryer vent cleaning needs to be done more often.
