| Dryer
Fires- A Common Problem |
Lack
of maintenance is the leading cause of dryer
fires with lint sited as the leading material to
ignite. The fires may be caused by:
· Failure of mechanical and/or electrical
parts within the dryer
· Improper materials placed in the
dryer
· Insufficient airflow as a result
of improper installation

| Dryer
Fires- A Simple Solution |
Unlike
many health and safety issues we are faced with in the home,
this safety problems has an easy and economical solution.
The best way to prevent the possibility of a dryer fire harming
your family is with a thorough dryer inspection by the professionals
at DJR Cleaning.
A key to effective dryer performance is optimal airflow. A
properly installed all-metal dryer vent will help ensure this
airflow. DJR Cleaning will check to ensure there is proper
airflow for the dryer and that the right equipment is in use.

Causes
& Cures of Dryer Fires |
Reduced
airflow and lint build-up cause overheating and prevent fast
drying action. When this happens, the high temperature limit
safety switches cycle on and off continuously and thus may
fail over a period of time. This results in higher costs of
operation and could result in a costly and dangerous dryer
fire.
DJR Cleaning uses a variety of specialized tools and procedures
to clean dryer vent ductwork. The entire process usually takes
about one hour. However, cleaning is only one part of our
service. The dryer vent is also inspected for several mechanical
issues that should be checked by a professional duct cleaner.
DJR Cleaning is the qualified choice.
