How Dryer Vent Cleaning Saved a Winter Park Home from Fire Risk

# Dryer Vent Cleaning Importance in Winter Park and Orlando

Living in the humid climate of Central Florida, especially around Winter Park and Orlando, means appliances like dryers can accumulate lint faster than expected. Recently, our technicians servicing the Winter Park area were called to a home near Lake Eola for a dryer that wasn't drying clothes efficiently.

## What We Found
- Clogged dryer vent filled with lint
- Restricted airflow causing overheating
- Risk of fire due to lint buildup

The homeowner, who has a home office and two kids, was unaware that the clogged vent was a fire hazard. After cleaning the vent and explaining the signs to watch for, we advised scheduling regular maintenance.

## Lesson Learned
Regular dryer vent cleaning in the Greater Orlando Area is crucial to prevent fire risks and keep appliances running efficiently, especially with Florida's seasonal humidity that accelerates lint buildup.

## Tips for Residents
