Maintaining the chimney and dryer vent systems in your home is not only a wise investment, it is a safety must. Every year, dryer and chimney related fires rob families of their homes, their health and sometimes even their lives. Just as much of your chimney system is hidden from view, so is most of your dryer venting system. Without professional tools, it’s nearly impossible to identify if you have a buildup of creosote in your chimney or a thick layer of lint in your dryer vent. Scheduling annual inspections, sweeping and dryer vent cleaning can alert you to any dangers or problems within your system before they threaten your home and endanger your family. Be proactive by making regular maintenance a priority in your home, every year.
