Preventative Fire Safety Through Home Maintenance

Did you know that thousands of house fires occur each year due to neglected home exhaust fans—the very ones in your bathroom and laundry room? Dust and debris can accumulate inside these units, creating the perfect conditions for a spark to ignite. The good news is that with proper preventative maintenance, these risks can be reduced dramatically.

At Eagle Eye Home Watch & Maintenance LLC, we believe that protecting your home starts with simple, consistent care. Here are a few essential tips to help keep your family safe from unnecessary fire hazards:

🔧 Exhaust Fan Safety

  • Remove and clean exhaust fan covers annually to prevent dust buildup.
  • Unplug and vacuum around the fan motor to clear hidden debris.
  • Lubricate the fan motor to ensure smooth, safe operation.

🧺 Dryer & Vent Maintenance

Dryers and their ducting are another common source of home fires. Routine care is critical:

  • Clean the lint screen after every load.
  • Vacuum the cavity around the lint screen periodically.
  • Inspect and clean dryer ventilation ducts leading to the exterior of your home to prevent dangerous clogs.
