Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Improperly Installed Dryer Vent Hose & Unsafe Dryer Hose Materials
Lack of maintenance is one major cause of fire but dryer vent hose if improperly installed also plays a major part. The usage of the dryer over a period of time causes lint to accumulate in the dryer. An accumulation of lint at high levels blocks the air passage thus causing the dryer to get overheated thus causing it to malfunction or the lint catching fire. The fire usually starts within the appliance and gradually erupts into flames and spreads across, often even damaging the house.

Ideally the dryer hose materials should be a metallic component. But plastic and fiber hose materials are used mostly for easy installation which is highly inflammable substance. A malfunction in the dryer and blockage of air causes overheating of these plastic hose materials. The overheated materials gradually starts crumpling and catches fire too which can then spread across the building. Hence it is always advisable to have a proper check on the installation of dryer vent and install metallic dryer hose materials.

The dryer exhausts ducts often aren't given due respect, hardly given much of consideration in design stage, installed haphazardly, and not maintained rightly. Normally, speaking dryer exhaust system hardly is given other thought after the installation. "Thinking" on importance of the dryer ducts has to change! The homeowners have to understand what issues are, and familiarizing themselves with modern standards, and know how to know the symptoms of the potential hazards and importantly make any improvements when essential. The clothes dryers have been located in the basements or normally within short distance from the outside wall, which made maintenance very less critical and potential for minimal trouble. Homes today have laundry rooms practically located anywhere in your home. Often dryer is been installed on the upper levels of home with the long concealed runs. Because of tightness of the modern homes, proper operation of dryer exhaust has now become very critical, opposed to the older homes.

What causes fires?

US Consumer Safety Commission estimates in 1998, the clothes dryers were actually associated with over 15,600 fires that resulted at 20 deaths & 370 injuries. The lack of cleaning and maintenance is a major contributing factor however poor installation or use of the improper duct material and hoses lead to fires. The dryer's lint filter just catches fraction of produced lint and some are much better than others. With time lint accumulates reducing the airflow causing dryer to operate in elevated temperatures as well as increasing chance for something malfunctioning or catching lint on fire. The dryer fires generally start inside or beneath the dryer. Draft from dryer forces fire in an exhaust duct and, at many cases, causes house fire. Probability of fire spreading highly increases with use of the plastic and Mylar (or foil) duct, particularly plastic. The US Consumer Product Commission has given research that indicates 75% of blocked dryer duct elevates exhaust air temperature for average electric dryer over 89% more than the normal operating temperature of unblocked duct.
