Dryer fires are a common winter hazard that can be prevented by routine cleaning.

In 2022 the National Fire Protection Association reported that each year there are nearly 17,000 fires reported in the U.S. that are linked to clogged dryer vents, causing an average of 55 deaths, 380 injuries and costing nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in property damage. 

Helping his customers stay safe this winter, Jacob Hallstrom, owner of Hallstrom Exterior Clean, Akron, has added dryer vent cleaning to his services. Hallstrom suggesting having all dryer vents be cleaned professionally once a year to not only keep your home safe, but also increase your dryer's performance. 

Not always just lint build up, Hallstrom said dryers can be clogged, creating potentially fire-inducing situations. The many twists and turns in the vent make it hard to get the vent clean without the proper equipment. According to the US Fire Administration, dryer fires peak in the winter, with the highest number occuring annually in January. 

Always looking to upgrade his business to better serve his customers, Hallstrom Exterior Clean also specializes in providing professional softwashing and pressure washing services for both commercial and residential buildings.
