According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), around15500 fires are associated with clothes dryers occur annually. These fires cause an average of 10 deaths and 310 injuries and more than $84.4 million in property damage annually. If you don’t want your family or your property to be on that list, then you need to take proper care of your dryer vents
If your dryer is not drying clothes like it used to, then you should go for dryer vent cleaning. A dryer vent exhaust blocked with lint reduces airflow and also causes fire hazard.
A single load of wet clothes in your dryer consists of one half gallon of water. When water is removed after the wash, lint comes off from the clothes. Lint buildup in the dryer vent leads to restricted air flow and other areas around the dryer and is causing the dryer to perform poorly. The dryer also operate at high temperatures which leads to overheat and can cause a fire in your home. Mike Duct Works offers complete dryer vent installation and repair services that would help you to solve the issues with ease.
Unlike other visible spaces of your home, a crawl space is usually obscured from your view. Your crawl space requires the same attention and care you give to the other parts of your home. A majority of the homeowners are unaware of the problems that can occur in crawl spaces and attics. For example, raccoons, mice, rats and bats might nest and even breed in your crawl space and attic.
