Q: What do I do if my dryer catches on fire?

• <div><p>Call 911 immediately. If you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket near the laundry room, you can attempt to extinguish the fire, but don&rsquo;t open or touch the dryer. If you can&rsquo;t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home&rsquo;s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn&rsquo;t any damage.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a washer and dryer anywhere in my house?

• <div><p>You can install a washer and dryer in most places throughout your house, provided you have the proper plumbing lines and electrical outlets needed.

Keep in mind: It will cost a lot more money to install a washer or dryer in a space that is not currently designed to support these appliances.</p></div>

Q: Can I clean my dryer vent myself?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to clean your dryer vent yourself in most cases, but it&rsquo;s usually best to leave this important task to a professional. If you make a mistake when reinstalling the vent, you could kink it, which makes it easier for a blockage to form. Instead, call in a professional annually to do a thorough cleaning and an inspection. They will make sure there are no kinks in the vent that could promote blockages in addition to cleaning it. If your vent runs through a wall, you&rsquo;ll need help from a professional regardless.</p></div>

We had a couple of birds to get into the Laundry Air Duct, because the cover out side had gotten knocked off, and they sucked it all out of vent. and then made a new cover for it so that the birds could not get in. This was excellent for them to take the time to do this. We were very pleased.
