Dryer Vents and Fires in San Antonio, Texas

6/1/2017 (Permalink)

According to FEMA, failure to clean home dryers causes 34% of home dryer fires. Home dryer fires cause $35 million in property loss and can even
cause injury or death.

To reduce the risk of these fires happening in your or your insured’s home or business, SERVPRO® of Braun Station can help clean dryer vents and ducts that may have lint buildup.  Other tips for keeping your dryer vents clean from the National Fire Protection Agency include cleaning the lint filter before and after each load, and making sure the outdoor vent flap will open and is not restricted by tree branches, a bird’s nest, or other potential obstacles. For more information on
preventing fire damages by cleaning your dryer vents contact your local SERVPRO® of Alamo Heights Franchise at (210) 822-2063.
