Mory was thankful no one was injured when a dryer fire broke out in a local apartment complex; however, upset that this tragedy could have easily been prevented with proper dryer vent maintenance
Chicago, IL--Recent news reported a clothes dryer fire in an apartment building causing serious damages and some units to be evacuated. Thankfully, there were no injuries, but the damages to the building and the loss suffered by tenants is a tragedy that could have been prevented.
Mory Matias, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard was at a recent real estate investors meeting, where he spoke to landlords and property managers. "Dryer vents should be professionally inspected at least once a year to prevent lint build-up from causing a fire. Many tenants do not know how to properly maintain their dryer vent systems. The property owner has a responsibility to his tenants; if there is a fire, the landlord is held liable. In multi-unit buildings, many lives are at risk if just one tenant fails to maintain their dryer vent," Mory explained.
Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes, specializes in dryer vent cleaning, repair, installation and alterations. They also provide a great service to their community, educating each customer in dryer vent maintenance and dryer fire prevention. Service technicians cover everything they need to know about maintaining their dryer vent system. DVW technicians will teach them how to properly clean and maintain the system between annual inspections and professional cleanings.
Mory urges landlords and apartment building managers to have all dryer vents in the building professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year or whenever a tenant moves out. "The cost of the inspections and necessary repairs is really small compared to potential damages, injuries and even loss of lives if a fire should occur," said Matias.
