In a busy world, there are plenty of appliances out there, designed to make life easier. It can be easy to underestimate the importance of these conveniences, like clothes dryers. When they are at their best, dryers can make life a lot easier for owners and tenants alike. Over time, however, the function of dryers can be limited through an impassable venting system. Blocked vents can lead to health hazards, fire hazards, along with a whole lot of wear and tear. Don’t bother with the cons when you can call the pros for your Edmonton dryer vent cleaning.
Fighting Off Foundation Layers
Communal laundry rooms see a lot of foot traffic. With each load that passes through your appliance, small pieces of lint and debris are dislodged from clothing. Everyone knows to clean the lint trap, but what about those items that sneak passed these mesh screens? Odds and ends end up entering into your ventilation system, dragging down air quality and creating a foundation layer. A foundation layer refers to the bottom layer of build up that collects along the surfaces of vents and ducts. This foundation layer of lint, dust and debris only serves to collect more and more material over time. The longer that foreign materials are allowed to collect, the more restricted airflow becomes. The material that is left behind holds onto moisture, and can lead to mould growth.
Other allergens, such as dust can collect in this network of unwanted items. Although rare, fires have also been known to escalate based on the flammable nature of lint when collected. Clogged vents lead to health concerns in extreme situations but more common side-effects are inefficiency of appliances and unnecessary wear and tear. A clean duct means extending the life of your dryer while conserving energy by not needing to run loads more than once.

Cleaning the unseen levels of your property takes a lot of care and a lot of training. Running a cloth across surfaces is not enough to make for a smooth-running system. Professional dryer duct cleaning is recommended as a routine practice for areas like hotels, hospitals, assisted living homes, schools and other high traffic areas. This process increases clean air flow, and creates a healthier environment and more efficient laundry facilities. Properly cleaning and disinfecting areas takes both insight and foresight. Luckily, our Gorillas know where to look for problem areas and know what to expect, both for the moment and for the future.
