Per the NFPA on Dryer Vent Fires:
In 2010, an estimated 16,800 reported U.S. non-confined or confined home structure fires involving clothes dryers or washing machines resulted in 51 civilian deaths, 380 civilian injuries, and $236 million in direct property damage.
Clothes dryers accounted for 92% of the fires, washing machines 4%, and washer and dryer combinations accounted for 4%.
The leading cause of home clothes dryer and washer fires was failure to clean.

Our service technician will inspect the dryer vent. We use air pressure and agitation tools along with a vacuum to clean out the entire vent. Once the cleaning equipment has traveled the length of the vent enough times to clean the vent thoroughly, we’ll clean out the connection piece, reattach your dryer and recheck the vent while your dryer is operating.
