Dryers, vents, and fire safety
Dryers in busy homes are a safety priority, because lint builds up fast when a dryer runs daily. A dryer that takes two cycles, runs hot, or smells musty usually has a vent problem, and a vent that is blocked does not just slow drying, it raises running costs and is a fire risk. In Fruitvale homes, vent runs can be long or routed through walls, which makes them easy to neglect.
We clear the vent, test airflow, and check the thermal fuse at the same time, because a blown fuse often means the vent was blocked first. We also advise on lint filter habits and annual vent checks, which are the cheapest fire prevention a household can buy.
