Though failure to clean dryer vents is the number one cause of dryer fires, improper dryer vent installation can also be a contributor
Webb Dickson owns Dryer Vent Wizard, serving consumers in Middlesex and Essex Counties in Massachusetts and the entire state of New Hampshire. Webb Dickson recalls several dryer fires over the last few years that could have been prevented with a properly installed dryer vent system.
One fire destroyed a two-family home. After the homeowner installed his own dryer vent system, natural gas leaked into the home and ignited. In another home fire, a family of five was left homeless with over $150,000 in damages to their home.
Webb Dickson explains that most dryer fires are caused by failure to clean dryer vents; however, improper dryer vent installation or use of the wrong type of materials can also be dangerous. The Wizard only installs dryer vent systems that meet current city, state and manufacturer safety standards.
