Dryer Fires in California

9/18/2015

dryer fires
It is not surprising that dryer fires are on the rise. It is common on a home inspection to see all the ingredients for a dryer fire. In fact, these have quickly become one of the leading causes of fires in the home.


What can you do to help prevent dryer fires and protect yourself, your family, and your investment?

  1. Clean the dryer regularly - And not just the lint trap (although this should be done preferably after every load).
  2. Check the dryer hose - This often gets neglected because it is hard to do, but it is well worth the effort.
  3. If you have a gas dryer, check for gas leaks - Gas dryers are great and energy efficient. But without a professional regularly checking the connections, it could become dangerous.
  4. Clear the area - If the area around the dryer is clear and clean, there is less chance for fires to spread.
