Dryer Vent Wizard works to increase public awareness in fire prevention with proper appliance maintenance
Corona, CA--The U.S. Fire Administration reports clogged dryer vents being the cause of over 15,000 fires costing millions of dollars annually. Steve Gors, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in California works to educate consumers about the hazards of clogged dryer vents, by offering tips and advice while performing dryer vent cleaning, repair and installation services.
According to Steve, in addition to being a fire hazard, clogged dryer vents cost consumers an additional $200 - 300 per year in energy costs. They advise consumers to have a professional cleaning of dryer vents every year in addition to regular maintenance, to prolong the life of the dryer, save money and insure safety.
To increase awareness of dryer vent safety, Steve Gors makes sure his customers understand how to properly maintain their dryer vent systems between his annual visits. "My job is not complete until my customer understands what I am doing and why I'm doing it," said Steve in a recent interview. "It is the policy of Dryer Vent Wizard to educate consumers and reduce the number of dryer fires in our community." Read more tips from Steve at http://dryerventcleaningcorona.blogspot.com/

Are your Dryer Ducts Aluminum or Vinyl?
Have you looked at the ductwork attached to your clothes dryer? Is it aluminum, or plastic or vinyl? This is important to know. Recent UL safety codes require solid metal or semi-rigid material be used for the dryer duct system. To understand why this is, consider the function of the dryer vent system:
Heat Removal
The hot air and moisture removed from your laundry is removed from the dryer drum and carried through the dryer duct system to a vent located outdoors. State law recommends that all gas dryers be vented outside.
Lint Removal
Another function of the dryer vent system is to remove the lint that is produced by your laundry as it dries. Most of the lint is caught in the lint screen; however, some does end up in the dryer ducts too. If it doesn't make its way to the vent outdoors, it can build up in the duct system to cause problems over time.
When Lint Build-up Prevents Heat Removal
What kind of dryer vent do you have? Many older homes were created using vinyl instead of metal. While this used to be the standard material for dryer ducts, years of experience have shown this to be dangerous. If your dryer were to throw a spark, it is very possible that the lint in the vinyl duct could ignite and cause a very rapidly spreading fire.

You may think of doing your laundry as a relatively low impact and low danger activity. But if your dryer is not properly installed and maintained, it could well be a disaster waiting to happen.
There are thousands of house fires started every year by clothes dryers. These happen in a 
couple of ways.
Lint Build-up Clogging Vents
Cleaning out your lint trap and other lint in the laundry line is important for more than just making your dryer run more efficiently. Dryer lint left unchecked can translate to a build up of lint inside the machine. While you may not realize this, that lint is extremely flammable. It's essentially very airy cloth remnants and doesn't take much to ignite. Just a spark or two from your machine can start a fire that can quickly get out of hand.
In addition to your regular cleaning of the lint trap, you also should make sure to have a professional come out at least once a year to inspect and do a complete cleaning.
Lint and Debris in the Line
Not all lint gets caught up in the machine. Some of it continues out of your dryer and into the chutes and tubes leading from the dryer to the outside of your home. There are numerous points along the path where it can get stuck, on the walls, around a curve or even at the termination point in the vent. This is another area you need to have regularly cleaned by a professional to keep build up to a minimum.
Lint Near and Ignition Point
If you have a gas-powered clothes dryer, you need to be even more aware of the threats of fire connected to this appliance and keeping it clean. Since natural gas appliances have pilot lights, there is already a flame waiting for any lint to catch on fire.
More than Lint
It's not just lint that may be clogging up your dryer vent and ducts, but this is an area that bugs and rodents love. If they can create an access from the outside portion of the vent, they will be happy to move in to the line and set up shop. Many a homeowner has been surprised to find a mouse nest or even a bird nest inside their dryer vent.

Steve provides dryer vent cleaning, repair and installation services while educates his customers on fire safety and proper dryer vent system maintenance
San Diego, CA -. Steve Gors, former Fed-Ex contractor, traded his delivery van for a logo-ed uniform to own and operate a Dryer Vent Wizard franchise in Riverside County. At a recent interview, Steve discussed the rewards of this career change, as he said, "I'm pleased to be contributing to the community by increasing consumer awareness on the importance of dryer vent maintenance to prevent fires and to keep the clothes dryer running efficiently. Dryer ducts that are clogged with lint restrict air flow, forcing the dryer to work harder and consume more energy."
Professional dryer vent cleaning and repair services prevent dryer fires, keep dryers functioning properly and provide energy savings through dryer and dryer vent maintenance, cleaning, repair, replacement and alterations.
When Steve decided to make a career change, he was able to draw on 30 years of business related skills and a wealth of experience. He researched several concepts and found Dryer Vent Wizard Dry Clothes, Safe Homes to be intriguing. "I liked that DVW provided much needed solutions to consumers' dryer and dryer vent problems which ultimately prevents dryer fires," says Gors.
According to Gors, consumer response to DVW has been positive, although a big part of what he does is educating. "When consumers find their dryer taking more than one cycle to dry a load, they assume it's mechanical when the real problem is lint accumulation in the dryer vent, causing the dryer to work inefficiently and become susceptible to a dryer fire," says Gors.
In an effort to make consumers more aware, entrepreneur Gors shares these maintenance "tips" to prevent dryer fires and keep dryers running efficiently. He urges consumers to be sure their dryer vent systems are up to current safety code and to replace any plastic or foil vents with semi-rigid or solid metal venting material, keep the lint screen clean and to have the dryer vent system professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year.
Steve also advises his customers to watch for warning signs of potential fire hazards, like clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, no visible lint on the screen between loads, dryer repeatedly stopping during a cycle and clothes having a moldy smell after drying.
