Safety Tip - Clothes Dryer Vent
Plastic vents build up lint in the ridges and the vent can be crushed and blocked much easier than a metal vent. Plastic vents also allow a fire to burn through and spread once a fire has started inside the vent. For several years now the plastic dryer vents have been banned for residential use because the vent is such a fire safety hazard. G Warren Home Inspection recommends that anyone with an old plastic vent change to a metal vent as soon as possible. To sum up, a plastic vent is a fire waiting to happen. Also, visibly check the vent discharge point on the exterior of the house, many times there is a complete blockage at this area. The article below will give the reader a good idea just how dangerous a lent filled vent pipe can be as related to fire safety.
Clothes Dryer Fire Safety Tips
While most home appliances are used without incident, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that 15,500 fires associated with clothes dryers occur annually, causing an average of 10 deaths, 310 injuries and more than $84.4 million in property damage. A lack of maintenance, buildup of lint, placing inappropriate items in the dryer and inadequate venting are frequently cited as contributing factors.
Did You Know?
- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that 15,500 clothes dryer fires occur annually, causing an average of 10 deaths, 310 injuries and more than $84.4 million in property damage.
- Eighty-percent of American homes have clothes dryers.
- A full load of wet clothes placed in a dryer contains about one half gallon of water. As the clothes dry, lint forms and builds up, reducing airflow in the dryer's vent, potentially causing the dryer to work improperly or overheat.
Clothes Dryer DOs:
- DO clean the lint screen/filter before or after drying EACH load of clothes.
- DO clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct periodically.
- DO have a certified service technician clean and inspect the dryer and venting system regularly.
- DO replace plastic or vinyl exhaust hoses with rigid or flexible metal venting, which provides maximum airflow.
- DO keep the area around the dryer clean and free from clutter.
- Always use the appropriate electrical outlet for dryers and all major appliances.
Clothes Dryer DON'Ts:
- DON'T place clothing or fabric stained with a flammable substance, such as alcohol, cooking oils, gasoline, spot removers or motor oil, in the dryer. Flammable substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Instead, dry the materials outdoors.
- DON'T leave a dryer operating if you are not home.
- DON'T forget to read the manufacturer warnings in the user manual and on the inside of the dryer door .
- DON'T dry any item containing foam, rubber or plastic, such as bathroom and non-slip rugs and athletic shoes.
- DON'T dry any item that contains glass fiber materials, such as a blouse or sweater with glass buttons or decorations.
- DON'T overload the dryer with wet clothes.
