The Dangers of Unmaintained Dryers
Unmaintained dryers are a significant fire hazard. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), dryers cause approximately 13,820 fires annually. These fires result in numerous injuries, dozens of deaths, and around $35 million in property damage each year (ConsumerAffairs) (NFPA) (Adam Forga). The leading cause of dryer fires is the failure to clean them properly, which leads to lint buildup that can ignite when exposed to heat.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of dryer vents can prevent these dangerous fires. Ensure that your dryer is vented correctly and that the venting system is free of obstructions. Regularly cleaning the lint filter and scheduling professional inspections are essential steps to reduce fire risks.
