Over 15,000 dryer fires occur each year with failure to clean dryer vents cited to be the number one cause. According to James Smith, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, other causes of clothes dryer related fires include poorly installed dryer vent systems and combustibles being stored near the dryer. During a recent interview, James recalled a home fire that originated in a clogged dryer vent system. “The clutter in the laundry area added fuel for the fire to spread rapidly through the home,” said Smith. Cardboard boxes were stacked beside the dryer and chemicals including cleaners, paint thinner and lighter fluid were kept in a shelf above the dryer.” Consumer education is an important part of Dryer Vent Wizard’s services. “When we think about fire prevention education, we often picture the firemen visiting our children at school,” said Smith. “I enjoy educating my customers on proper dryer vent cleaning and appliance maintenance to prevent fires, save energy and extend the life of appliances.” James Smith takes great pride in his work. In order to provide the very best service possible, he has gone the extra mile to further his education by becoming CSIA Certified (contractor license #943017) in dryer exhaust services.
