Family Escapes Injury but Home Damaged After Dryer Vent Fire

December 19, 2015 8:59 amLeave a Comment

It happens every year and this is an especially common time of the year for it to take place. We’re talking about dryer vent fires. However, they can happen at any moment, especially if you haven’t taken the time to get your dryer vent cleaned any time in the recent past. People often overlook their dryer vents and this often leads to trouble.

A family recently escaped serious harm when their house was damaged from a fire that started in their dryer vent. Fortunately the family was able to get out of the home before anyone was hurt. However, not everyone in this situation is always so lucky. The family’s home did suffer some damage from the fire, but firefighters were able to respond quickly enough that the fire was contained to just one room.

This family was fortunate because it could have been a lot worse. The fact is, this family, and the thousands of others who experience dryer vent fires, could have most likely prevented this from happening if they had taken the time to make sure their dryer vent was clean.

Don’t become the victim of a dryer vent fire. Instead contact a qualified and experienced dryer vent cleaning company to make sure your vent is not a fire hazard.

It’s unfortunate that so many people are willing to trick the elderly out of their money by offering bogus services, such as false air duct cleaning. That’s not to say that air duct cleaning is bogus; but many self-proclaimed air duct-cleaning companies are nothing more than a front for a few individuals to steal money from senior citizens. These scammers often get way with their dirty deeds, but not always.

Fortunately, there are real air duct cleaning companies that are reputable and that really do what they say.
