Keep your home—and wallet—safe by preventing costly, devastating dryer fires. Each year, dryers spark over 15,000 house fires, causing more than $35 million in property damage and claiming lives nationwide.
The True Cost of Dryer Fires
-
15,970 reported fires annually (NFPA)
-
$35 million+ in direct property losses
-
2–5 deaths and 100 injuries per year
These aren’t just statistics—they’re your neighbors’ homes, your family’s safety, and your financial security at risk.
🔥 Top Ways to Prevent Dryer Fires
-
Clean the Lint Trap Every Load: Even a few millimeters of lint can ignite when exposed to high heat.
-
Inspect & Clean Your Vent Annually: DIY tools miss hidden buildup in 90° turns and long runs. Clogged vents trap heat and create a ticking time bomb.
-
Use Rigid or Semi-Rigid Ducting: Flexible plastic or foil hoses collapse and collect lint. Switch to code-compliant, metal ducting.
-
Ensure Proper Vent Termination: The outdoor vent hood should open freely and vent at least 25 feet from the home.
-
Don’t Overload or Overdry: Heavily loaded machines run longer and hotter, accelerating lint buildup.
