Dryer Vent Installation Richmond Wizard is an Expert Crawl Spacer

The Wizard expresses his concern about dryer vent configurations in crawl spaces of Central Virginia area homes

[USPRwire, Mon Aug 30 2010] Professional dryer vent installation is recommended by the Wizard to ensure clothes dryers are venting safely and effectively. George Hostetler is the Central Virginia dryer vent installation expert that homeowners can trust. During a recent interview, George expressed his concern with dryer vent configurations in crawl spaces of homes in his community.

“This is an area where most houses are built over crawl spaces, due to high water tables and relatively low frost levels,” said Hostetler. “Crawl spaces are often a labyrinth of water supply lines and drains, heating and cooling equipment and ductwork, electrical and cable wiring and more. Quite often, homeowners are forced to install their dryer duct to contort to an unreasonable path and configuration, so they use flexible foil or vinyl materials that are easy to install.”

George Hostetler wants to promote public awareness of the danger of using inferior material for dryer vent systems. “The flexible ducts can droop, allowing lint and moisture to collect and form a plumbing trap or U shape which leads to total air flow blockage over time,” said Hostetler. “This is especially dangerous in the crawl space where homeowners seldom see. We have received numerous reports from homeowners who have told by the cable installer that tears in the dryer duct are allowing lint and moisture to accumulate in the crawl space, causing mold and mildew growth. When dry, the lint is highly combustible.”

Homeowners should always be aware of what is going on in their crawl spaces and where the exterior termination of their dryer vent is located. Under no circumstances should a dryer vent terminate within the crawl space. “We are expert crawl spacers and can perform a diagnostic and take pictures to show what you have in the crawl space,” said Hostetler. “Be aware of what your dryer vent is doing for you!”
