Dryer Vent/Air ducts

DRYER VENT CLEANING

Why have your dryer vent cleaned?

Did you know that over 15,000 fires a year are started by clogged and lint-filled dryer vents? The average cost of running your dryer for one load is .50 to 1.00 dollar. With a clogged vent, your cost can be three times that. Your clothes will take longer to dry and can have that nasty mildew odor that no one enjoys. We can perform dryer vent cleaning for you, saving you money and giving you peace of mind.

The buildup of lint over time in your dryer vent poses a potentially dangerous situation. Moreover, clogged dryer vent pipes can cause your dryer to work harder and can greatly increase the time it takes to dry your clothes.

Over time, your dryer vent fills with lint that sneaks by your dryer's filter. Fires can occur when lint builds up in the dryer or in the exhaust duct. Lint can block the flow of air, cause excessive heat build-up, and result in a fire in some dryers.

Air Duct Cleaning

Our System
We proudly use the RamAir System for cleaning Air Ducts and Dryer Vents.

Blasting debris from ducts with highly compressed air- a method endorsed by the National Air Duct Cleaner’s Association, the RamAir system we use has been lab & field tested to do a better job of removing dust and debris from duct walls and won’t damage any type of ducting. Our 1” diameter Teflon Blasting Ball fits deep into and slips around the corners of ducts with incredible ease. The powerful blast of air reaches into corrugations of flex ducting that brushes can miss, doing a more thorough job of cleaning. You will be absolutely amazed when you see all of the dust, dirt and debris swirling through the clear vacuum box as we are cleaning each vent line!

The air in your home may seem like it would be safer and more purified than the air outdoors because it’s filtered by air ducts. This assumption isn’t always true, because your air ducts may be contaminated with bacteria and pollutants that are hazardous to your home.

In fact, research has shown that the air inside the average American’s home is more polluted than that of the air outdoors. This is because you bring pollutants to your home or office all the time, as they cling to your shoes and clothes. If you can't remember the last time you had your ducts cleaned, contact us for a free estimate and start breathing easier in your home.

Factors that Prompt Air Duct Cleaning

There are a variety of factors to take into account when thinking about having your air ducts professionally cleaned. Below is just a portion of what will cause air ducts to become dirty, leading to poor indoor air quality.

Smoking in the home
Hair and dander from pets
Dust filtration line- a gray line of dust around the perimeter of your rooms along the baseboards
Any water damage in the home or in the air duct system, leading to contamination
Dust or soot that’s left behind from renovations or remodeling
Length of time since last cleaning

Our Process

STEP ONE:
INSPECTION
Our first step is to inspect your air duct registers to determine that our method is the best method to use with your type of air ducts. We will also count the exact number of vents and registers in your home to provide you with an up-front exact price for your cleaning.

STEP TWO:
Cleaning
A clear vacuum box is fit over each register opening, one at a time. We then run the high powered air line into the duct line. Our high powered vacuum line is attached to the vacuum box to collect all of the dust, dirt and debris. We then turn on the air line, blasting all dust, dirt and debris backward toward the vacuum box and vacuum. Once this process is completed, we will then run just the vacuum line to remove larger pieces of debris like pieces of dry wall from home construction, food that has fallen into the floor vents, toys, containers, deceased rodents and much more.

STEP THREE:
Return Cleaning
The return grate is vacuumed on both sides. We then thoroughly vacuum all sides of the return as far back as the return allows the vacuum hose to reach. Because we are cleaning the main trunk line each time we clean a vent in the home, the return line is almost completely cleaned before we open the grate aside from the first few feet and the grate itself.

STEP FOUR:
After cleaning each vent line and return, we fog your system with an EPA approved fungistat, germi-stat and bacteriostat which is designed to alleviate any airborne bacteria, dust mites, allergens and pet dander, leaving your entire home with fresh clean air.
