FREE Dryer Vent Inspection

Approved Comforts` qualified technicians will inspect your dryer vent absolutely FREE.  The dryer will be removed and the vent line will be disconnected for a full inspection of design, integrity, and restriction.
This service is FREE because we at Approved Comfort care about your safety.  In addition to the inspection of the dryer vent, if you request to have a dryer vent service and are unhappy with the remains removed, the service will be completely FREE of charge.  That is how much we believe in this service.


Dryer Vents

According to the U.S. Fire Administration (Division of U.S. Department of Homeland Security), clothes dryers were involved in an estimated 15,600 U.S. structure fires, fifteen deaths, 400 injuries and $99 million in direct property damage, annually, between 2002-2004.   The leading cause of clothes dryer fires was lack of maintenance (lint build-up in the exhaust system).

To help prevent fires

Clean the lint screen filter before or after drying each load of clothes. If clothing is still damp at the end of a typical drying cycle or drying requires longer times than normal, this may be a sign that the lint screen or the exhaust duct is blocked.

Clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct periodically. Check the outside dryer vent while the dryer is operating to make sure exhaust air is escaping. If it is not, the vent or the exhaust duct may be blocked. To remove a blockage in the exhaust path, it may be necessary to disconnect the exhaust duct from the dryer. Remember to reconnect the ducting to the dryer and outside vent before using the dryer again.

Clean behind the dryer, where lint can build up. Have a qualified service person clean the interior of the dryer chassis periodically to minimize the amount of lint accumulation. Keep the area around the dryer clean and free of clutter.

Replace plastic or foil, accordion-type ducting material with rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct. Most manufacturers specify the use of a rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct, which provides maximum airflow. The flexible plastic or foil type duct can more easily trap lint and is more susceptible to kinks or crushing, which can greatly reduce the airflow.

Take special care when drying clothes that have been soiled with volatile chemicals such as gasoline, cooking oils, cleaning agents, or finishing oils and stains. If possible, wash the clothing more than once to minimize the amount of volatile chemicals on the clothes and, preferably, hang the clothes to dry. If using a dryer, use the lowest heat setting and a drying cycle that has a cool-down period at the end of the cycle. To prevent clothes from igniting after drying, do not leave the dried clothes in the dryer or piled in a laundry basket

Fire prevention tips from dateline


FIRE PREVENTION TIPS

Fire officials say you really need to make every effort to remove lint. Vacuum behind the machine whenever youre house-cleaning, dont let lint pile up on the screen, and clean it after each load.

And pay attention to when your dryer is on,  never leave the house with the dryer operating.

Bottom line is don`t take anything for granted. Most people don`t think of the dryer as a dangerous appliance. Its not something you think about when it comes to fire. But it will spread smoke throughout the house which will prevent people from getting out. You can get a very serious fire very quickly.

Fire officials say you should also be aware of something else: if it is suddenly taking way too long for your dryer to dry your clothes. They say that could be a sign that a buildup of lint, inside the machine, is preventing hot air from getting into the dryers drum,  another fire hazard and a sign that it may be time to get a new machine.
