Three overlooked home hazards and how to prevent them Jul 18, 2012 1:00 PM ... A blocked dryer vent, a broken microwave, a damaged mower blade. These are three of the most overlooked home hazards, according to RepairClinic.com, and ignoring them can lead to injuries, fires or worse. "It's important to be aware of these dangers and to take proper care to reduce risks and stay safe," says Chris Hall, president of the replacement parts website. Here's how with tips from Consumer Reports, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and RepairClinic. Clothes dryers: Instant fire starters As we recently reported in Appliance fires: Is your home safe? clothes dryers accounted for almost 14,000 fires, 10 deaths and $84 million in damages from 2002 to 2009. Many were caused by blocked dryer vents that caused heat buildup resulting in fast-moving fires. "If you notice that it's taking longer for your clothes to dry, it's likely that lint is clogging the venting system," says Hall of RepairClinic. What to do. White vinyl venting no longer meets national fire code standards in the U.S. and should be replaced with an aluminum equivalent. Safer yet, replace accordion-type ducting material with rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal ducts. Then make the following a routine: Clean the lint screen/filter before or after drying each load of clothes. Clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct periodically. Clean behind the dryer, where lint can build up.

Dave- Just a note to say thank you for the great job you did on our home inspection today. We were very pleased with how thorough and professional you were. Thank you for answering all of our questions. We learned alot from today's inspection. We will for sure hang on to your binder/card in case we need you again in the future. We will also pass on your name to others.... We have decided we will make an offer on the house this week. I have forwarded your email to Tim to review and hopefully he will repair those items. Thanks again, Rose & Paul
