CHANCES ARE YOUR CONDOMINIUM UNIT HAS A HIDDEN FIRE HAZARD!!! By 'The VENT CLEANER'
Dryers start more residential fires than any other appliance causing an average of three fires per day in California. The Consumer Products Safety Commission estimates there are 24,000 dryer fires each year in the United States causing over $96,000,000 in property damages. Lack of dryer vent maintenance is the leading cause of dryer fires and LINT, the HIDDEN FIRE HAZARD, is the leading material to ignite. Clogged dryer vents cause fires, water damage, and dry rot, which can easily spread through multiple units. Periodic dryer vent cleaning must be on every homeowner's preventative maintenance list to avoid these problems. Our company, THE VENT CLEANER has specialized in HOA dryer vent maintenance for over 10 years. Referred by appliance repair companies, property managers, and homeowners throughout San Diego County, our high‑tech rooting equipment is specifically designed to remove 100% of all lint and other refuse clogging the dryer vent.

DRYER VENT CLEANING Does it take too long for your clothes to dry??? Are your utility bills too high??? Homeowner complaints concerning these questions are common. Many have called a repairman thinking something was wrong with their dryer, only to find out that the problem was a build‑up of lint in their dryer vent restricting the airflow. The fact is, clogged dryer vents cause extended dry time, higher utility bills, expensive dryer repairs, and can become a fire hazard. There are three dryer fires per day in California causing over six million dollars in property damages. Lack of dryer vent maintenance is the leading cause of dryer fires.

DIRTY DRYER VENTS ARE A FIRE HAZARD!!! Laundry dryer vent maintenance is far too often overlooked in property management. Extended dry time, high utility bills, expensive repair charges, and dryer replacements are the results of clogged vents. Improperly maintained vents become the home for insects, rodents, and nesting birds. Moisture from the dryer that collects in the horizontal sections of impacted vents often leaks, causing water and structural damage. Dirty, lint‑laden dryer vents have caused thousands of preventable and costly fires. The fact is that clothes dryers start more fires than any other appliance, including portable space heaters. The laundry room is the leading area of fire origin, and dust, fiber, and lint are the leading materials to ignite. According to the State Fire Marshal, there is an average of three dryer fires per day in the state of California causing property damage and content loss of over six million dollars per year. Lack of maintenance is the leading cause of dryer fires.
As residents use their dryer, the lint generated by drying clothes passes through the lint‑screen and into the exhaust system. Even though the lint screen is cleaned before every use, it only traps approximately seventy-five percent of the lint. Theoretically, this unfiltered lint is supposed to be exhausted of the vent. Although in many laundry locations, the centralized washer and dryer location requires a vent that is long and sometimes complex in design to get to an appropriate exhaust point on the exterior wall or roof. The dryer simply cannot exhaust all the unfiltered lint in these vents. The air and lint from the dryer, saturated with moisture, begins to adhere to the inside of the vent and restricts the airflow.
Moisture remains in the dryer drum and clothes will stay wet or can take two or more cycles to dry. The longer the vent and the more turns it makes directly affect the amount and the rate of the lint build‑up. These types of vents, especially with any horizontal sections, require maintenance more frequently. Other factors that accelerate lint collection are improper screening over exhaust hoods, incorrect roof caps, missing or damaged lint screens, and locations in high humidity or foggy areas. Eventually a hard to remove heavy and spongy material builds up inside the dryer vent. This cocoon‑like substance cannot effectively be removed by a vacuum of any strength or a brush of any kind. It must be rooted, pulverized, and blown out. The buildup of lint in the vent restricts the dryer airflow, causing the moist trapped air to re-circulate rather than be exhausted out of the vent. The dryer motor labors harder and can overheat trying to push air through a clogged vent. The thermostat rapidly cycles on and off, calling for even more gas or electricity to heat the trapped air, or fails completely and the dryer begins to operate on its high limit safety switch instead of the thermostat. This is a common cause for burned‑out heating elements in electric dryers. This adverse condition or poor air flow, excessive heat, and combustible lint is a hidden fire hazard that must be eliminated. THE VENT CLEANER uses specialized high tech rooting equipment designed to remove 100% of all lint, nesting materials and other refuse which clogs dryer vents. Our equipment was developed specifically for dryer vent cleaning. Our process removes even minute layers of dirt, mold, and mildew restoring the vent to its original condition. There is no vent dismantling or any inconvenience to the resident. All the accumulated material is exhausted outside of the residence and removed. Our service addresses the entire dryer airflow system from the dryer to the exhaust point. We inspect and clean the dryer's air inlet grids and lint screen compartment. The flex connecting the dryer to the wall vent is inspected, trimmed, and cleaned or replaced as needed. The entire vent is rooted like new and the exhaust hood or roof cap is cleaned. Upon completion, a future appointment is scheduled based on the equipment type, vent design, and usage.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY... MESA VERDE HOA - MICHAEL UTIC - PROPERTY MANAGER Problems associated with dryer vent maintenance are a distant memory ever since I called The Vent Cleaner a couple of years ago. Keeping dryer vents clean and recommending an effective maintenance technique used to be an agonizing ordeal for myself and the 540 condominium owners at Mesa Verde. The Vent Cleaner provides an inexpensive and effective laundry vent cleaning service. The reasons for using The Vent Cleaner to ensure that your dryer vent is clean are obvious: reduced lint buildup, which reduces fire risk, greater dryer efficiency, which reduces drying time and energy expenses, and increased dryer efficiency, which reduces appliance fatigue. Please do not hesitate to call me if you would like references from hundreds of satisfied Mesa Verde residents". SKYLINE HILLS APARTMENTS ‑ JAMES FORSBERG ‑ MAINT. SUPERVISOR "During the month of April 1994, we contracted The Vent Cleaner to clean and service 296 dryer vents at Skyline Hills. We agreed on a performance schedule that was both realistic and efficient. They not only adhered to the schedule, but also went out of their way to adjust to our resident's needs. During the course of the project, it was found that our vent systems were in a poor state. Sam affected the necessary repairs while still adhering to the schedule. Their attention to detail and ethics are above reproach. During the time we worked together, the staff and I got a chance to work with top notch professionals." CABROL ENTERPRISES ‑ PAUL E. STEELE ‑ ON‑SITE MANAGER The service you recently performed for us has made a substantial difference in the efficiency of the dryers in each of the units. Personally, I can attest to the fact that the time it takes for me to dry a load of jeans and towels has dropped from over 2 cycles to less than 1 cycle. You were prompt and respectful of our tenants' privacy, performing your service with minimal disruption to them. It was a pleasure dealing with you and I will not hesitate to recommend your service to anyone in need of it. Thank you again." AFFIRMATIVE MANAGEMENT SERVICES - VALLI HORWITZ - PROPERTY MANAGER I would like to personally thank you for a job well done at Cedar Terrace. It is not often that homeowners contact me to commend a contractor on their quality workmanship and professionalism. Companies such as yourself that complete the work with proper notices, scheduling, follow up and professionalism are the kind of companies we will continue to hire, as your service is a direct reflection on our service." PRICE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT ‑ JAMES PRICE ‑ COMPANY OWNER "Maintenance at the 88 unit townhouse complex, which I own, was very good ‑ or so I thought. Vent maintenance was never on our checklist. We employed The Vent Cleaner and had ample evidence that years of neglect left the vents packed with lint and dust. The Vent Cleaner probably saved us a future disaster. Thanks for the timely warning!"
