Laundry Duct Cleaning

Why You Need Laundry Duct Cleaning

Just getting a routine P.M. on your dryer isn’t enough, laundry duct cleaning is equally important. Remember that your dryer’s exhaust is vital to the efficiency and safety of your equipment and business.

On a daily basis, your ductwork is slowly filling up with lint, wax and other discards that pass from your dryers into your ductwork. Lack of routine cleaning will cause a build-up that will decrease your dryer’s efficiency and could possibly lead to costly damage.

Your ductwork keeps the air flowing through your dryers, and helps them to run and dry more efficiently. You need to maintain this portion of your business just as much as any other part of your business. Failure to keep your ductwork clean can result in equipment failure and even fires.

As a business owner, you understand how important it is to be running at maximum capacity all day every day. You also know that having kept your guests and customers safe is a top priority.

It’s no joke that lint build-up does cause fires. Fires from lint quickly spread, and because most commercial dryers use gas you’ll have heat and air functioning all at the same time. When you add lint into the mix the result could be a disaster. Your insurance company may even give you a discount when you give them your pm and duct plan from us.

Saving money is important to you, and cleaning your ductwork will ensure that your dryers are running at optimal capacity. A clogged duct can cause your equipment to overheat and even totally stop running. Plus it will cost you more to run without adequate airflow. So for you, duct cleaning is a win any way you look at it.

Signs That Your Ductwork Needs To Be Cleaned

Damp Clothes After Drying
- If your customers or your company’s laundry is still damp after a normal dry cycle or they smell musty this is a sign that the airflow is not as good as it should be. We recommend that you get your ductwork cleaned at least every 6 months, but if you have a very busy laundry facility it may be more. We can set up a plan for your company.

Increased Drying Time
- If the dryer is loaded properly and your clothes are taking more than one dry cycle to complete then it may be time to clean that ductwork or vent. Let us come out and check it out.

Dryer Hot To The Touch
- We are all about preventing dryer fires, and this is the best way that we know of to do that. If your ductwork is clogged your dryer isn’t getting the ventilation that it needs. Getting it unclogged will save you energy, time and money.

Dryer Will Not Run At All
- If your dryer just won’t run at all, then your ductwork may be clogged and causing it to shut off as a precaution. We can take a look at your situation and determine what is needed to get you up and running.
