Fire Damage from a Dryer Vent
These homeowners, like many others in the West Chester area, often neglect the maintenance of their clothes dryer. The reminder can come as a longer than usual drying time needed or even a small fire. Even though you may clean the filter after every load, lint eventually can clog the venting conduit in the wall. This small flare-up required a SERVPRO technician to move the appliance, clean up the floor and wipe down the smoke stain on the walls, fortunately, very minimal damage. The problem was fixed after brushing out and vacuuming the venting system with our industrial-grade equipment. We also used a light deodorization spray to eliminate any lingering odors.
