Gas Dryer Safety
If you smell gas strongly or are unsure, leave the building and call the gas company or 911 once you are outside; do not use light switches, appliance controls, phones near the odor, or anything that could spark.

A dryer exhaust system carries combustion gases including carbon monoxide out of the home, so HUD rates a detached, missing or blocked dryer exhaust as a life-threatening deficiency; a CO alarm in the laundry area is recommended with gas dryers.

What Sparks Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Sparks come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Installing gas supply piping and vents requires a Nevada State Contractors Board license in the C-1 plumbing and heating classification (for example the C-1d plumbing or C-1g gas pipes and vents subclassifications), and water heater installation and repair falls under subclassification C-1h.

Before You Book in Sparks
