Apartment Dryer Vent Cleaning In BC

Clogged dryer vents can increase the risk of fire with any property that houses a clothes dryer, or a multitude of dyers. This problem is easily avoidable by simply keeping vents clean and unclogged.

A clogged dryer vent is when lint builds up in the hose that connects the dryer to the wall outlet, preventing air from flowing through the hose and into the wall outlet. This prevents a full cycle of the dryer, which can lead to damaged clothes and fire. The majority of dryer fires occur in the lint trap area, but the fire can still spread to the rest of the dryer if the vent is blocked.

Regular dryer vent maintenance removes all lint, dust and buildup from your dryer vents to ensure the appliance runs to its maximum efficiency without the worry of a disaster happening. This can not only reduce monthly energy costs, but it can increase the lifespan of your tenant’s dryer and minimize wear-and-tear on laundry due to unnecessary, increased runtime.

The Importance Of Dryer Vent Cleaning For Apartment Buildings

Common signs that a dryer’s vents should be cleaned:

Clothes are still damp after a normal drying cycle
The laundry room feels unusually hot or humid
A burning smell when you run the dryer
Excessive lint & debris in the lint trap
The dryer shows an error or blockage code
The lint flap outside isn’t opening
It has been over a year since the last dryer vent cleaning

A Professional Dryer vent cleaning can prevent fire hazards

Dryer fires often start when highly flammable lint, debris, or other material builds up or blocks the dryer vent. The lint that accumulates in the dryer’s exhaust, and around the dryer’s heater element could easily spark and ignite. Cleaning the dryer vent buildup will promote airflow and reduce the chances of a fire hazard.

Apartment Vent Cleaning Specialists

Although the main principles behind cleaning dryer vents still apply to apartment buildings, the techniques used to clean dryer vents in houses are very different from the ones used for apartment vents.

The Cleaning Process For Apartments

Our equipment is then brought outside to repeat the air whip and vacuum cleaning, pulling any remaining debris and lint out of the duct toward the outside of the building. The laundry duct is fully cleaned in both directions, to ensure a thorough job.

Apartment Specialists

In apartment complexes, where properties have their own individual laundry systems, property managers often seek dryer vent cleaning for their housing complexes at regular intervals. Vent Kings provides dryer cleaning services for multi-unit facilities with little to no interruption to tenants.

Our certified technicians use professional HEPA equipment to safely and professionally clean each and every unit in your building or common space laundry room.

Multi-Unit Apartment Dryer Vent Cleaning

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), dryer vents should be cleaned at least once a year. But depending on unique circumstances, such as repeated use in common space laundry rooms, it may need to be done as frequently as every few months to optimize the dryer’s efficiency and to avoid a serious fire hazard. Vent Kings specializes in apartment dryer vent cleaning, where property managers can benefit from significant savings by doing dryer vent cleaning as a group.

Reasons for Routine Dryer Vent Cleaning in Apartment Buildings

A buildup of lint, dirt, debris and other materials can clog up a dryer vent. When the hot exhaust cannot be expelled sufficiently, it causes your dryer’s coils to overheat and potentially spark a fire. Dryer vent fires can spread quite rapidly through multi-unit buildings due to their design, thus a single unit fire can potentially damage the entire structure.

Fire Prevention & Safety In Multi-Unit Properties

Vent Kings understands the importance of safety in your apartment property. Our experienced technicians use powerful HEPA vacuums to clean out the supply, intake, and return ducts of your dryer, from both the interior and exterior of your property, leaving the vents completely free of any buildup. This will prevent your dryer’s motor from overheating and avoid a fire hazard from happening. Vent Kings can help protect your property and residents from a dryer fire.

Cost Savings

Having your dryer vents cleaned, serviced and inspected yearly provides many benefits in addition to fire prevention – reduced energy consumption and better dryer performance. When the dryer’s airflow is restricted by lint buildup, the dryer operates inefficiently, causing it to work harder, resulting in repairs and eventual replacement.

FAQ About Apartment Dryer Vent Cleaning

Why do dryer vents become clogged?

Just like with any other type of machine, it’s important that you keep up on the routine maintenance that your dryer requires. Neglecting to do so could easily result in a clogged vent. To ensure that your dryer continues to run efficiently, you will want to regularly clean the lint trap and ensure that small items are not clogging the vent and schedule annual ventilation cleanings.

What causes lint buildup?

When fabric fibres shed from the clothes we dry, this can cause a considerable buildup of lint in your appliance. Often, wool and cotton are the most likely culprits when it comes to the production of lint. Increased lint buildup comes with the increased risk for fire hazards and for your dryer to not work at its optimal level, making your dryer work harder and longer to dry a load of laundry. An accumulation of excess lint around or behind your dryer can be the result of a clogged dryer vent.

How often do dryer vents need cleaning?

The more efficiently a dryer vent exhausts air, the less lint buildup in it. For obvious reasons , newer dryers may exhaust better than older ones. Vents with multiple turns and elbows are likely to build up more lint. Very short vents attached to full size dryers may rarely need cleaning. Most vents, however, require annual cleaning.
