There are plenty of advantages to living in or frequenting communal spaces – not the least of which is a laundry room. Shared laundry facilities are a prime selling feature for potential tenants or visitors – but that is only when they are working properly! Clothes dryers are heavily relied upon, so it is important to provide proper care and regular Burnaby dryer vent cleaning.
Understanding Your Ventilation System
When taking time out to maintain appliances, it is easy to be caught up focusing on machinery. It is important to keep an eye on mechanical and electrical components but dryer ducts and vents have a major impact on laundry facilities. With each load of laundry that passes through, your dryer is experiencing stress. As well as putting strain on your system, each load introduces more and more debris into ducts. Removable lint traps are designed to trap and hold lint, bits of paper and other foreign materials but there is only so much that a mesh screen can do. As small bits of debris sneak their way into vents and ducts, they cling to surfaces, restricting airflow and opening the door for other issues.
Clogged dryer ducts contribute to both property damage and health risks. Everyone knows that dryer lint is highly flammable, so it is no wonder that dryer fires are a major point of concern. Lint-lined fixtures can also have a negative impact on air quality by providing a damp environment for mold to thrive. This contaminated air is then circulated back through the rest of the system, increasing dryer time and exposure to allergens and mold. This can negatively affect anyone but can mean severe consequences for children, the elderly and anyone with a compromised immune system.
