Protect your home and family! Have your dryer vent cleaned. Regular dryer vent cleaning is essential to ensure safety, energy efficiency, and the longevity of your appliance, as well as to maintain good indoor air quality. At Prop-Air, the safety of your home is our top priority.
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.
Thoroughness has been at the heart of every one of our interventions for over 30 years in the National Capital Region.

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.
