Dryer Vent Repair and Safety Tips for Consumers

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports over 15,000 fires annually resulting in deaths, injuries and expense.  Fires can occur when lint builds up in the dryer or in the exhaust duct, blocking the flow of air and causing excessive heat build-up, eventually causing fires.

Greg Longe and his partner, John Lynch franchise Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes, a nationwide chain of dryer vent cleaning, repair, replacement and alteration specialists in the U.S.  They advise consumers to be sure to have their dryer vent systems professionally cleaned each year, in addition to proper maintenance.  Check outside to be sure the dryer vent is operating properly and exhaust air is escaping.  If it is not, the vent is clogged and must be disconnected and cleaned, then reconnected before using the dryer again.

Dryer vent repair and maintenance help prolong the life of your clothes dryer and is less expensive than appliance repairs.  According to Dryer Vent Wizard, if you notice your dryer taking longer to dry a load of laundry, you most likely have a venting problem; not a problem with the clothes dryer.

For 45 Years, AVAC Swim School Has Been Teaching Children to Swim

AVAC Swim School, one of the largest learn-to-swim programs in the nation, today announced that June marks the celebration of its 45th anniversary teaching Bay Area families to swim. In recognition of this significant milestone and coupled with National Safety Month, AVAC offers the community water safety tips to ensure a fun, healthy and safe summer.

"June marks the 45th year that AVAC Swim School has been teaching generations of South Bay families to swim while encouraging water safety practices," said Joe Shank, Owner and CEO of the Almaden Valley Athletic Club® (AVAC). "As summer nears, water activities become more popular. Parents and caretakers need to be cautious and alert to help prevent accidental drowning and any related injuries."

Before children go near any body of water, AVAC Swim School reminds parents to:    

 
  • Never leave a child unsupervised near water. Always maintain a constant watch over children by a pool, lake or other body of water. Stay within arms reach of young and non-swimming children.
  • Teach children proper "pool etiquette" and safety so they know how to behave in and around the water.
  • Make sure there are proper barriers and protection in place when the pool is not in use. Fences, locks, gates and alarms may save a child from danger.
  • Learn and review rescue techniques, such as CPR. It’s important to be able to take quick action, rather than waiting for help.
  • Develop and keep a rescue plan in case of emergency. This may include a first-aid kit or other applicable rescue equipment. Keep emergency telephone numbers and a phone nearby.
  • Teach children to swim and provide them with on-going swim lessons for continued improvement of swimming skills.

"Summer is the time when accidental drowning and water injuries occur most often," said Sue Davis, AVAC General Manager and Swim School Director. "At AVAC, we strongly recommend that children learn how to swim as one preventative measure against drowning and related injuries. It is equally important for parents to be alert and ready to act in case of an emergency. AVAC’s free Community Day Open House will provide helpful safety tips to help everyone have a fun, healthy and safe summer."

AVAC will host its "Kick off Your Summer" Community Day Open House with demonstration classes, swim stroke assessments and child fingerprinting by the San Jose Police Department on Saturday, June 20, 2009 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The event is open and free to the entire community.
