We get it, your dryer vent probably isn’t at the top of your to-do list. Life’s busy, laundry gets done, and the vent stays out of sight, out of mind. 🧺
But recently in North Bend, we pulled two very crispy birds 🐦out of a dryer vent that hadn’t been cleaned in years‼️ The surprising part was the birds…the scary part was the mountain of lint behind them, a fire hazard just waiting for heat to build. 😱🔥
Here’s the reality:
👉The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) reports 16,000+ home fires each year come from laundry units.
👉92% of those start in the dryer.
👉Nearly a third are caused by a "failure to clean".
Lint is highly flammable. Birds, nests, or blockages trap heat. The result? A fire risk hiding just behind your laundry room wall.
The good news: prevention is simple.
When you call 📞 WindowWorks for dryer vent cleaning, you get:
✔️ Full before/after inspection so nothing gets missed
