Cotati, CA (PressExposure) August 12, 2008 -- Over 15,000 house fires resulting in deaths, injuries and millions of dollars in damages occur each year as a result of clogged dryer vent systems. Dryer Vent Wizard is handing out free dryer vent safety check kits for consumers to detect possible venting problems with their clothes dryer. Emails of thanks from area consumers have been pouring in.

“We have found a huge lack of awareness among consumers who think it’s normal for their dryer to take two to three cycles to dry one load of clothing and don’t realize this is a vent clog warning sign and fire hazard,” says Greg Longe, who along with partner, John Lynch, franchise Dryer Vent Wizard, dry Clothes, Safe Homes, a nation wide chain of dryer vent cleaning, replacement and alteration specialists in the U.S.

Dryer Vent Wizard advises consumers to watch for warning signs of venting problems with their dryers, including clothing taking longer to dry, no lint visible on the lint screen, dryer repeatedly stops during a cycle, moldy smell on clothing after drying, and clothes being unusually hot after a dry cycle. When a dryer is not functioning properly, it is most likely a clogged venting system which is a serious fire hazard.

To increase awareness of dryer vent safety, DVW is offering Tips & Tools. Homeowners & community groups are encouraged to download the tips brochure and the video, “Don’t Let Your Dryer Start a Fire, Keep Your Home Safe and Sound”.
