Believe it or not, dryer vents are now considered to be more of a fire hazard than chimneys. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued an alert due to the fact that there are 15,500 fires, 10 deaths and 310 injuries from dryer exhaust fires annually. This is due to dryers being clogged with lint; one of the most flammable substances in your home!
The professionals at Owens Chimney Systems are happy to complete your dryer vent cleaning when we come out for your annual chimney cleaning. Doing the annual chimney system inspection at the same time is a great way to insure everything is off your to-do list for the year!
