An Ounce of Prevention....clean out that dryer filter after each use.

According to FEMA, failure to clean home dryers causes 34% of home dryer fires. Home dryer fires cause $35 million in property loss and can even cause injury or death. To reduce the risk of these fires happening in your home, SERVPRO® of North Morris County can help clean dryer vents and ducts that may have lint buildup. Other tips for keeping your dryer vents clean from the National Fire Protection Agency include cleaning the lint filter before and after each load and making sure the outdoor vent flap will open and is not restricted by snow, a bird’s nest or other potential obstacles.  

Here in Morris County, the snow has finally melted.  Now is a good time for this outdoor inspection.  Remove all excess debris and leaves that may have built up over the winter.
