Check your dryer

This time of year, everyone loves warm clothes! 

Did you know, thousands of house fires are caused by dryers every year and account for 90% of all appliance fires.  The most common reason dryer fires occur is because there is a failure to clean the dryer vent as highly flammable lint can build up over time and may be ignited by the heat of a dryer.  The dryer vent should be cleaned once a year with a special vent cleaning brush and the lint trap should be cleaned between every load.  Make sure the outside dryer exhaust vent allows hot air to escape.

In addition to these helpful fire prevention tips, remember that SERVPRO of Northeast Greenville County is here to help with our 24-hour emergency services.  We can respond immediately to your disaster and have the expertise to handle your restoration and cleaning needs no matter how big or small.  Give us a call at 864-292-3495 if we can help!
