There's a hidden fire hazard in almost every
home...it's the dryer vent!
The buildup of lint over time in your dryer vent poses a potentially dangerous
situation. Moreover, clogged dryer vent pipes cause your dryer to work
harder and can greatly increase the time it takes to dry your clothes. There is
a way to solve this problem with specialized vent cleaning tools that will
remove the lint from the vent/duct and restore the efficient operation of your
dryer.

Over time, your dryer
vent fills with lint that sneaks by your dryer's filter. Fires can occur when
lint builds up in the dryer or in the exhaust duct. Lint can block the flow
of air, cause excessive heat build-up, and result in a fire in some dryers.
Isolated incident? Not at all. The Consumer Product Safety Commission
estimates that over 15,000 dryer related fires occur each year causing an
estimated 97 million dollars in property loss.
