Hebron Families Can Protect Their Homes from Dryer Fire Risks l SERVPRO® of The Lower Shore

1/11/2021 (Permalink)

Did you know that clothes dryers cause more than 13,800 house fires every year?

This modern convenience that we rely on daily can indeed be a home fire hazard if it’s not maintained properly. Fires caused by dryers can really be boiled down to a couple of major causes. The first is an improperly vented dryer.

You can check your dryer’s vent against the standard safety regulations—they’re different for gas dryers and electric dryers.

The second is easier to prevent. If a dryer’s vent isn’t cleaned regularly, it can pose a problem. So the best way to lower your risk for this type of fire is to clean your dryer vent every time you use it.

While it’s smart to take steps to prevent problems like dryer fires, even the most diligent homeowner can be caught unaware sometimes. If that happens, it’s good to have a local team available to guide you through the restoration process.
