Dryer Vent Cleaning

Regular dryer vent maintenance is necessary to sustain a safe indoor environment for your clients and colleagues. The risk of inefficient dryer performance, overheating and fires increases as years go by without professional care.

Commercial operations, particularly laundromats, hotels, retirement homes, hospitals, and other similar facilities, are examples of properties that require regular inspections, cleanings, and maintenance. If your location goes through mass loads of laundry over the course of a year, it’s best to get your vents checked by the experts.

Power Vac of Ottawa offers highly proactive commercial dryer vent cleanings to help protect local businesses. With fast, dependable service and over half a century of experience, our team is here to support the long-term success of your company.

Why Regular Commercial Dryer Vent Cleanings are Important

Dryers in commercial establishments pose the same risks as those in residential homes:

• Fire
• Inefficiency
• Appliance breakdown
• The buildup of toxic gases

A lint trap won’t filter everything. Fine particles can still make it through the exhaust duct and get stuck around corners, flaps, and screws. Over time, this lint accumulation will continue to build up, trapping in heat and causing your business’ dryers to work harder, become less efficient, and potentially lead to a fire.

Curb Health and Safety Dangers for Your Business

Many businesses with dryers on site have more than one machine, which amplifies the risks of an unkept ventilation system.

As a business owner, you’re responsible for the well-being of those who enter your building, including customers, colleagues, and employees. If you have a business, like a laundromat, where you don’t have complete control over how people use the machines, it’s especially critical to do regular inspections. Here are some examples of how your commercial business may be at risk of more danger due to dirty dryer vents:

• Carbon Monoxide and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Materials such as dryer sheets, clothes and other items may emit toxic fumes, especially at sustained, higher temperatures. These toxins won’t filter outside correctly if you have a clogged exhaust. Carbon monoxide and VOCs are some of the biggest threats to be cautious of and can cause serious health harm to everyone in your building.
• Fire: Exhaust blockage to one machine poses a significant fire threat. But if you have multiple dryers, this risk increases exponentially. If you don’t keep up with regular inspection, maintenance, and cleaning, any one of your dryers may overheat at any time and start a fire.

Save Money and Increase the Effectiveness of Your Operation

Longer drying times and overall inefficiency can lead to more expenses out of your pocket, impacting your overall revenue and long-term success. For this reason, it’s essential to have regular professional inspections and maintenance to ensure you can maximize profits for your entire business and use the savings to invest in growing your operations elsewhere.
