The feed is taking a breather.
We refresh this page once a day from public news sources. Check back tomorrow — or, better yet, get ahead of it and book a dryer-vent cleaning so your home doesn't end up in next week's list.
Don't end up on this page.
Most dryer fires start with a clogged vent. We clean from the dryer to the outside cap, photograph the lint, and flat-rate the job — no upsells.
