Dryer vent cleaning Greenbrae, CA: If you have purchased an older home, or have been living in your current home for many years, you may appreciate the beauty and charm in comparison to today's more modern offerings. But there are also some things you need to be aware of that could be hazards in those older homes.
When your older home was built, and the appliances put in, there were likely very different standards in place than there are today. Back then plastic or foil covered dryer vents were the way to go to vent a clothes dryer from the machine to the outside. But, over the years, it has been realized that this type of vent is not always the best when it comes to safety. They can both be fire hazards since they are made of flammable materials.
While you may not want to think of your dryer as something that can cause a fire, the reality is that it produces hot air and it is a machine, so there is always a possibility of sparks being created. The type of duct you have attached to your dryer can make the difference between a spark that does nothing and one that sets a fire in your house.
If you do happen to live in one of these older gems, it would be a good idea to call a professional to inspect the dryer duct attached to your dryer are the right type. If they are not up to current codes, they will also be able to change them out for parts that are, so you can have a great working machine and a little piece of mind to go with it.
While old homes have their charm, they also have some hidden dangers. It's best to deal with these dangers, like the ductwork coming out of your dryer, and replace the parts you need to with ones that are up to code.
