Tampa Dryer Vent Cleaning Company Warns Consumers About Dryer Related Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Every year unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning is estimated to cause approximately 2100 deaths in the United States. Common household Sources include gas appliances, furnaces, and hot water heaters.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless and toxic gas. Because it is impossible to see, taste or smell the toxic fumes, CO could kill you before you ever notice. At lower levels of exposure, CO causes mild effects that are often mistaken for the flu. These symptoms include headaches, fatigue and nausea. The effects of exposure to CO can vary greatly from person to person depending on overall health and length of exposure. This is the reason that all gas dryers must be vented outdoors according to manufacturers specifications.
Wayne Herr, owner of VentSmart Dryer Vent Cleaning, said "A gas dryer with a clogged dryer vent is something we see all time. Most people have no Idea how dangerous this can be.“ When gas appliances, including clothes dryers, are not properly vented or restricted by lint, CO can escape into your home. unfortunately the newer more energy efficient homes keep gases like CO from escaping. Regular dryer vent maintenance is necessary to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
It is important to be sure your gas dryer's vent is properly installed. The vent should
provide adequate ventilation with minimal air leaks. Over time lint will gather in your dryer vent restricting the airflow. Vestment dryer vent cleaners suggests yearly dryer duct cleaning to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. In addition to carbon monoxide poisoning, failure to clean dryer vent could result in a dryer vent fire. Over 15,000 dryer fires occur every year.
Carbon Monoxide is considered the silent killer. You can't smell this stuff. If you have gas appliances be sure your home is equipped with carbon monoxide detectors. If you use a gas dryer be sure dryer vent cleaning is performed yearly. Visit http://www.safedryervent.com for more valuable dryer vent safety tips.

Dryer duct cleaning tips from Ventsmart dryer vent cleaners
Most people never think about their dryer vent until they have a problem. Over 15,000 dryer fires occur every year. Most of these fires could have been prevented with regular dryer vent cleaning.
Drying clothes isn't all your dryer does. It also removes excess lint. Your lint screen inside your dryer catches about 60% of this lint. The remaining 40% has the potential to gather inside your dryer vent pipe. If this lint is not removed regularly you will have problems.
Wayne Herr, owner of Ventsmart dryer vent cleaning says "In my estimation approximately 75% of all homes have this problem. My competition is the people themselves not realizing they have this problem."
