When Should You Clean Your Dryer Vent?

If you own a large building, it is essential to schedule preventive dryer vent cleaning every five years.

Longer, more winding ducts, as well as those venting through the roof of multi-story buildings, quickly accumulate lint. Clogged ducts can lead to various issues, the most serious being the risk of fire. As a building owner or manager, it is crucial to take the necessary steps to prevent such a disaster and ensure the safety of your residents.

Had two gentleman come today to do duct clean/laundry vent cleaned out. They were very friendly and professional, as someone who is interested in how it all works they were  walking me through the steps and explained what they were doing  as well as the before and after pictures right in front of me. Very please with the work completed and transparency! The customer service lady on the phone was very professional and communication was very good  from booking over a month ago to the follow up reminder to check in if the appointment still worked. Highly recommend!

Prop-air is a long established company in Gatineau. I have seen their trucks for years, so I thought I would use their service to clean & maintain our split heat pump/air conditioner. The bilingual technician (Ludovic) was very courteous and professional. He was attentive to my questions and provided helpful advice to enhance the reliability of our system. Thank you Prop-air.

Frequently asked questions about dryer vent cleaning

You should have your dryer vent cleaned at least once a year. If you do laundry often or have a long vent run, more frequent cleaning is a good idea, since lint builds up faster in those situations. A clear vent helps your dryer run efficiently and dry your clothes properly.

Dryer vent cleaning matters for fire safety because lint is highly flammable and builds up over time. The NFPA reports that failure to clean is the leading factor in about one-third of home dryer fires. Keeping the vent clear is one of the simplest ways to lower that risk in your home.

Several signs point to a clogged dryer vent, including longer drying times, a dryer or clothes that feel hot to the touch, a burning smell and lint gathering around the vent opening. These are clues that air is no longer escaping the way it should. If you notice any of them, it is worth having the vent inspected and cleaned. See Health Canada for more on indoor air contaminants.
