Failure to Properly Clean Dryer Vents is the #1 Cause of Dryer Fires

• Fire damage from clothes dryers is responsible for nearly $100 million in property damages every year
• Not all lint is trapped by lint filters and will clog dryer vents over time, reducing airflow, and accelerating lint build-up
• Regular inspection and maintenance of dryers and dryer vents are recommended by all dryer manufacturers

Does this scenario sound familiar to you? You might have heard from a number of the residents of the apartment building you own that the dryers in the laundry room are taking longer to dry their clothes than they used to. Or your cleaning staff at the hotel that you manage have mentioned that it is taking longer to dry the sheets and towels from the rooms that they clean. While you might think that there is a problem with the dryers, it is important to first inspect the dryer vents and see if they are in need of some cleaning. Commercial dryer vent cleaning for your business in Philadelphia, Aston, West Chester, Wilmington, or the surrounding area isn’t always at the top of your list of activities to do, but it could mean the difference between normal operations and a potential fire hazard just waiting to ignite. Give a call to Advanced Air Service Group to schedule your commercial dryer vent cleaning.

While there is a lint trap in the dryers that you use commercially, the truth is that they don’t get everything. For the lint that doesn’t get caught in the easily cleaned lint trap, where does it go? It goes into the dryer vent pipe. Maybe it gets blown out into the outdoors, but more likely it will get stuck inside the pipe, where it will stay. As time goes on, more and more lint will get trapped in the dryer vent. Because this lint inhibits the flow of air, it prevents the dryer from fully drying the laundry in one cycle. And this results in the comments from your residents and employees that the dryers don’t seem to dry as well.

The U.S. Fire Administration recommends dryers be cleaned regularly by a professional, especially if it is taking longer than normal for clothes to dry. Contact a professional dryer vent cleaner today! 610-494-0100

Problems Just Waiting In The Dryer Vents

This buildup of lint in the dryer vent requires a commercial dryer vent cleaning, which Advanced Air Service Group is prepared to handle. The lint in the dryer vent gets very dry, and that makes it a major fire hazard just waiting for a spark. It is important to clean out the dryer vents in your commercial setting, as you will have several benefits from doing so. First is the reduction of potential fires from the lint in the vent system of your Philadelphia, Aston, West Chester, Wilmington, or surrounding area commercial building. With a commercial dryer vent cleaning, you will also find that your dryers work as they should, drying linens, towels, and clothes in a single cycle. This will also mean that your dryers will last longer as they aren’t working as hard to dry clothes with a clogged dryer vent. This is cost-saving to you in energy usage as well as repairs and new equipment.
