Bert went on to say that the nearly 80% of residents in his area are unaware of the risk of fire due to clogged dryer vents and dryer vent systems made from improper materials. It’s a fire hazard that needs to be spoken about more often!
Bert went on to ask a question of listeners: What do two gallons of water, seven socks, and five dryer sheets have in common? The answer: They were all found in one dryer vent! Bert detailed that most customers will call complaining of a musty smell from their clothes, which is a warning sign of a clogged/obstructed dryer vent. “Continuous education is important,” said Bert.
