Air Duct & Dryer Vent Cleaning


The Need For Indoor Air Quality and Dryer Vent Services Is at An All Time High.

Did you know the EPA ranks indoor air pollution among the top five health risks?

Dirty air ducts have been identified as a major source of indoor air pollution. In fact, an air duct system is a breeding ground for bacteria, animal dander, mold and dust mites. These impurities can cause allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, infections and disease.

Dirty clothes dryer vents can be equally harmful. The yearly national fire loss for clothes dryer incidents is estimated at $99 million resulting from almost 16,000 fires.*

  • Technicians cleans supply vents all the way to the air handler.
  • Dirt and debris is brushed, collected and swept up by the dual vacuum system.
  • Optimum coverage is ensured as technician works back through the system, overlapping mcuh of the duct work.
  • Vacuum attachment topically cleans inside the air handler.  
  • Air handler fan is turned on and antimicrobial treatment is fogged into cold air return.
  • Fan circulates treatment deep into the system.

According to the EPA, if you have a ducted heating and colling system, the ducts should be cleaned every there to five years.

Why Air Duct Cleaning?

  • The EPA ranks indoor air pollution among the top five health risks.

The Dryer Vent Cleaning Process — Saves Lives and Money.

Cleaning your lint screen is simply not enough to ensure an efficient, safe dryer.  Even a cleaned lint screen traps only 75% of the lint produced inside a dryer.  The rest of the lint builds up over time inside the dryer vent, becoming a fire hazard, as dryer lint is highly flammable and has the potential to ignite at any time. 
A dryer with restricted airflow also runs significantly longer, causing utility costs to rise, increasing the need for repairs and decreasing the life of the dryer.  By cleaning your dryer vent, we can help ensure your clothers dryer is both safe and energy efficient. 
  • Technician removes and cleans lint trap.
  • Technician takes the measurement of airflow using an air flow meter at the exterior dryer vent.
  • The back of the dryer is topically cleaned, as this is where the lint can accumulate.
  • The dryer vent and flexible ducting from the wall are visually inspected using a video inspection system.
  • The HEPA vacuum system is connected to the dryer vent duct.  The dryer duct auger is run through the duct to remove any blockages.
  • Airflow is measured again to gauge improvement before and after cleaning.
  • The video inspection system is used again for post cleaning inspection.
