Danbury Fire Prevention by SERVPRO

The After Photo illustrates clean and unobstructed clothes dryer vents in a Danbury home. The flaps are free of debris, and the grate helps to keep out insects, birds, and rodents. SERVPRO strongly advises property owners to be diligent and keep these vents functioning to prevent heat buildup and degraded drying performance. The Before Photo depicts the nesting habits of birds that can disrupt the flow of heated air from the dryer. The moisture is vacated at a slower rate causing for longer cycles to remove all dampness from the clothing. A waste of electricity, plus the danger of a fire igniting from the tinder-like materials at the vent port indicate a potential fire waiting to happen. Call our team to remove the debris, inspect your venting system, and clean it out if necessary. SERVPRO is always ready to make our community and neighbors safer.
