Mooresville Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard says that dryer vent cleaning is one of the most beneficial of all home services. All appliances require proper maintenance to improve efficiency and performance and sometimes for safety reasons as well.

Dryer vent cleaning is the number one way to eliminate a fire hazard while improving dryer performance and efficiency. Poorly vented clothes dryers can cost and additional $300 per year to operate. Clogged dryer vent systems can allow the heat and moisture from laundry to escape into the home, causing the AC to over work as the room becomes very hot and humid. Poor air flow causes the dryer to take additional cycles to dry each load.

Dave Lavalle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Mooresville specializes in dryer vent installation and dryer vent cleaning service. In addition to the above mentioned benefits of dryer vent cleaning, Lavalle mentioned another hazard that few people are aware of. By law, all gas dryers must be vented to the outdoors, said Brusseau. Most people realize that their gas furnace can be a carbon monoxide hazard; however, few think about this in relation to a clothes dryer.

Dave Lavalle and his son Michael enjoy building relationships with customers as they educates them on the importance of dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation. I've seen many dryers that are vented into a crawl space or attic, said Lavalle. These customers appreciate it when we point out the mold growing in the crawl space or attic as a result of an improperly installed dryer vent system. Mold and mildew can cause serious damage to homes and illness for residents.

Services by the Mooresville Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard provide peace of mind that the dryer vent system is safe and free from fire hazard. Dryer Vent Wizard provides dryer vent inspections, cleaning, repairs, replacement and alterations to make dryer vents safer and greener.

Huntersville, NC Dryer Vent Cleaning is the greenest tip the Wizard has for consumers with clothes dryers. Clothes dryers are one of the most expensive appliances to operate and they are in over 80 percent of American homes. Poorly vented clothes dryers cost substantially more to operate. Few people are aware the importance of proper maintenance to prevent fires and reduce energy costs.

Green technology is a sign of the times and consumers are becoming more aware of the need to conserve energy and protect our planet. Dryer vent cleaning technician, Dave Lavalle, encourages his customers to maintain their dryer vent system to improve airflow and promote maximum dryer efficiency. Another green tip the Wizard encourages is line drying some laundry. Solar drying is free, said Lavalle, If everyone line-dried just one load a week, the energy savings would be significant.

Dryer Vent Wizard franchises are locally owned and operated in over 50 major market areas in the U.S. Dryer Vent Wizard only services dryer vent systems, so they are the experts in their industry. So why would a Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard suggest line drying? Because we encourage our customers to be fire safe and energy efficient, said Lavalle. We are not worried that people will give up their clothes dryer. The clothes dryer is a wonderful convenience that reduces the work load, but it comes with a cost. It is the most likely appliance to start a fire and it is one of the most expensive to operate.

Dave Lavalle does not expect everyone to go back in time and do things the old fashioned way, but he is not against taking steps to save energy. Hanging clothes out until they are almost dry, and then finishing in the dryer will reduce the amount of lint that is produced, said Lavalle.

Dave Lavalle serves homes and businesses, pet salons and animal shelters, nursing homes and apartment buildings in the Greater Charlotte area. Poorly maintained dryer vents are fire hazards and cause clothes dryers to cost substantially more to operate.

Clothes dryer sparks east Charlotte fire

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A fire on Triece Lane in east Charlotte forced four people out of a home this weekend.
Firefighters were called to the home Saturday morning.
Investigators say the fire started because too much lint built up in the clothes dryer. The fire caused about $10,000 in damage.
The Red Cross is helping the four people who lived there find temporary housing.

Gaston Family Homeless After Dryer Fire

A double-wide mobile home fire that began in a clothes dryer Monday afternoon left a Kings Mountain family of five homeless and destitute.

The home at 109 Meagon Drive caught fire again early Wednesday and finished burning.

John “J.D.” Page, 39, and his common-law wife, Amy Welch, 41, have lived there for three years with their children: Emilie, 19; Stormie, 13; and Gracie, 6.

Welch said the American Red Cross paid for a couple of nights’ lodging at a Super 8 motel in Shelby and the three girls are temporarily living with relatives.

The family has lost all material possessions and have nothing but their Dodge pickup truck and the clothes on their backs, Page said.

Welch said she and 6-year-old Gracie were at home when the fire started at 3:45 p.m. Monday.

“I opened up the door and it (dryer) was in flames. It kept spreading and there was nothing I could do,” Welch said.

Just before waking up Wednesday morning at the motel, Welch’s cell phone rang and it was their neighbors in Kings Mountain telling them the mobile home was on fire again.

“It started up about 6 a.m. and burnt the whole thing down,” she said. “Only two rooms were saved (after Monday’s fire), my kids’ bedrooms. There’s absolutely nothing salvageable.”

Page said apparently a small, smoldering flame contained to insulation in the ceiling didn’t catch fire until early Wednesday.

Gracie attends Washington Elementary School, Stormie attends Burns Middle, and Emilie goes to Burns High.

“They’ve missed school. John and I took the rest of the week off work and we’ve got so much to figure out,” Welch said.



Two dogs, a pickup and a prayer

Page said he doesn’t have money to rent a home or apartment because his family has been living paycheck to paycheck, paying their bills each week. Since Monday, they’ve been either at the Super 8 motel or in the truck with their two small dogs, Baby and Rocky.

Page said he works at Shelby Paving and Asphalt Co. and Welch works part-time at Party City in Gastonia.

“All I’ve got is this truck, eight dollars in my pocket and a quarter tank of gas,” Page said.

The truck had a flat tire on Wednesday afternoon, leaving Page to wonder what’s going to happen to them next. They were able to get the tire repaired and Page said he’s caught between a rock and a hard place because he can’t afford to miss work but needs to find a place for his family to bed down.

“With all this, we’ll both be missing work for a week or two. Right now, I’m trying to figure out where I’m going to lay my head and my kids’ heads,” he said. “I feel like I’m in a daze. I really don’t know who to turn to.”

Page said he doesn’t know if the mobile home is insured or not.

“I lost my mom two years ago, so I inherited the house,” he said. “This house and everything in it was all I had left of my mom.”

Turning to God in the midst of tragedy has served as a source of strength for Page, but he can’t ignore his family’s material needs that seem to be pressing.

“I still turn to the man upstairs,” he said. “Everything’s gone, everything … all their school clothes, spring clothes, beds. Most of all, we thank God. All that stuff can be replaced.”



Kind-hearted folks

Lisa Featherston of Gastonia is good friends with Page and Welch. She described them as good people who work hard to provide for their children. “J.D. has got about the biggest heart I could think of. I’ve been friends with him 26 years,” she said. “He’s just a great family guy. He loves his children to pieces and will do just about anything to put food on the table.”

Featherston said she feels for Page and Welch’s family because they are good people thrust into a bad situation.

“Financially, they struggle in general. I don’t know what they’re going to do,” she said. “They literally lost everything. He (Page) is not educated and that has been a little bit of a downfall when it comes to getting a good-paying job.”

The Oak Grove, Waco, Cleveland and Tryonota volunteer fire departments were at the scene Wednesday. Firefighters from Gaston County were also called to assist.

Anyone who may wish to help the family can reach Welch at 704-271-0051.

Gazette reporter Wade Allen can be reached at 704-869-1828.

Greater Charlotte, NC Dryer vent cleaning is the number one way to prevent dryer fires and increase dryer performance. Dryer vent cleaning will significantly reduce energy costs and help to prevent pre-mature appliance breakdown. Over 17,000 dryer related fires are reported annually with failure to clean dryer vents being the number one cause.

Dave Lavalle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in the Charlotte area is making a big difference in his community by educating his customers about dryer fire prevention and energy savings. Dave receives great reviews from happy customers who have noticed their clothes dryers working more efficiently after his service. Please see our survey cards: http://www.charlottedryerventlady.com/referral.htm

Dave advises his customers to have their dryer vent system inspected to make sure it meets current safety standards. Dryer vent systems made of vinyl or flexible foil should be replaced with solid metal venting. The lint screen should be cleaned after every load and professional dryer vent cleaning service should be performed every 2 to 4 years. I enjoy building long-lasting relationships with my customers and they appreciate my concern for their safety, said Lavalle.

Dave makes sure his customers understand the warning signs to watch for, including clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, no visible lint on the lint screen, dryer repeatedly stops during a cycle, clothing having a moldy smell after a dry cycle, and clothing being very hot after a dry cycle. Too many people believe their dryer is taking longer due to age and wear, said Dave. This is the most commonly noticed sign of lint accumulation in the dryer vent system and it indicates a serious fire hazard.
