Tracy Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Eliminates Fire and Water Hazards

Washers and dryers are very rugged appliances and easily taken for granted…the Wizard suggests tips for simple maintenance to maximize performance





Tracy, CA – Dryer vent cleaning is a very critical; yet, often neglected appliance maintenance task. Dryer vent cleaning prevents dryer fires while increasing dryer efficiency. According to the Tracy Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard, washing machines can also be a hazard when not properly maintained.

Fire and water are natural forces that must be treated with respect as they can be both beneficial and devastating. Dryer fires and flood damage are two laundry appliance related disasters that can easily be prevented with proper maintenance. James Smith, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.californiadryerguy.com/), a dryer vent cleaning and installation technician offers routine maintenance to prevent washer and dryer hazards.

The Wizard’s customers are often surprised when he tells them that if the washer hose should burst up to 650 gallons of water per hour can cause major damage to the home. He recommends replacing rubber washer hoses with steel braided hoses to prevent this from happening.

Education is a vital part of the Wizard’s service as he explains how dryer fires are caused and how to prevent them. Most people know to clean the lint screen between loads, but few are aware of the necessity of annual professional dryer duct cleaning. Over time, lint that escapes the lint filter accumulates in the back of the dryer and the dryer ducts. This can cause dryer problems as it interferes with the motor and other working parts. The dryer can throw a spark and ignite the combustible lint which makes great fuel for a rapidly spreading fire.

Simple appliance maintenance can prevent serious damage to the home, extend the life of the dryer and reduce energy usage. For a small fee, residents can enjoy peace of mind knowing their dryer operates safely and efficiently.

James Smith takes great pride in his work as he performs an important home service while educating the customer with tips and information to prevent dryer fires and other appliance related hazards. In order to provide the very best service possible, he has gone the extra mile to further his education by becoming CSIA Certified (contractor license #943017) in dryer exhaust services.
