CLOSE CALL!!!!!!

We recently serviced a customer in New Hampshire and found that they almost had a serious fire! What we found was a plastic dryer vent clogged with a birds nest. The dryer overheated and as a result the dryer vent partially burned! Had it not been surrounded by fiberglass insulation, there could have been a serious fire!

This is a perfect example of why building code requires all dryer vents to be constructed using metal duct. And a good example of why a dryer vent should be cleaned and inspected regularly!!!!

We replaced the plastic duct(right duct in the picture), cleaned the line, and even repaired the bathroom vent on the left since it was broken as well. Plastic duct is ok for bathroom fans...

All is well and others in this complex are calling us to check their vents as well.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please give me a call!
