Lint. Lint. Lint.

This home used a flexible foil from thier dryer vent. This material collects lint within the ridges and is flammable! I was able to clean out most of the lint and installed solid smooth venting. If your dryer uses flexible foil, you and your family are at risk.

Winter = More Fires

The winter month increase the amount of dryer and vent fires. When the outside temperature lowers, birds prefer warm dryer vents. Having a pest guard installed prevents pests from entering your vent. When the air flow is restricted in your vent, lint will build up and could cause a fire.

Are Birds Taking Over?

Installing bird guards to protect your vents is a great way to eliminate this problem. A restricted vent can cause a dryer fire, increase drying times, and create health issues.
